front brake disc replacement thickness

[CMF_MicraNut]

Hi all,

I wondered at what wear limit must the front brake discs be replaced. I read in my micra haynes manual that they must be replaced once they've reached a thickness of 10mm. Is that right?

 

[CMF_mipcar]

Usually there will be stamped on the outer edge of the disc, sometimes on the back, a number which is the minimum thickness allowed.

if you want new brakes i can get you some front slotted rotors and wickid pads and fluid for it i just did mine and **** me they stop i took it to the track and flogged it gave then 7 hard laps and they were fine at the end no fade nothing best 300 bucks i have ever spent on the car.

going to go the pulsar front brakes anyway, seems to make sense

there,s a fair bit of info on here if you do a search on "brakes" eh

just about any pulsar brakes will fit, just the larger ones you will need 14" wheels.... might need a washer or 2 to centre the caliper... bleed the brakes and your away... . If you can bleed brakes its an easy install.... REAL EASY. as easy as it was to change the tb to ga15.... both make a huge difference to the performance.

sorry if i've asked this already fred, but where did you find that ga15 throttle body?

mate trust me if you want brakes these front i used are the bomb they are slotted front rotors lucas race pads and race fluid great for everyday use and no mods needed all up 320 to your door they turn up within a week and perform outstandingly

from now on i will use nothing else. I was going to go the pulsar road but decided against it
