Oii, Benny I also put some copper on backing plate where it would contact pistons and sometimes even on the spring - just on points of contacts. One thing to viewers - if You use copper grease, clean and grease everytime You change pads. Cleaning will be easy as there is no rust etc., so just wipe, spray with brake clean and its good to go.
10:18 Missing the retaining screws on the disc! Uneven pad wear will return unfortunately. No matter how much grease you apply before the rain washes it all away. Movement in the Braking system ends badly (always will)
Nice one Benny, great to see the 180 getting all this attention! Quick tip for anyone who has this type of caliper on their car (they look exactly like the Sumitomo ones on my Celica GT-Four). Living in a country where they salt the roads during winter, those pad retaining pins always seize up between brake pad changes. They are steel and the body of the caliper is alloy, so the rust grows on the pin and seizes it solidly into the caliper. That's a bad time, on 3 out of 4 sets of calipers that I've rebuilt in the past few years, I had to split one or more caliper, cut the pins in two and get violent with the blow torch, hammer and eventually the drill to remove the remainder of the pins. If you live somewhere that corrosion is a problem and have these on your car, bin the OE style steel pins and replace them with some stainless steel M6 bolts and nyloc nuts. They should never seize again.
@ChrisHallett83 I drive it pretty much as hard as it'll go and they haven't melted yet, and many other members of our owners club also use the same method to retain their pads without issues. But you're probably right, for peace of mind metal lock nuts should be used.
Hey Benny, I discovered your channel a few days ago, and I must say I am loving it. The 180sx videos have been really good. I've got a R33 I bought for pretty much nothing. It was stolen and recovered with a bit of body damage but nothing huge. Its had so much of work done over it's 30 year life some good and some bad but I've been working on it over the last year and I've got to a point where it's registered, basic tune, body work is nearly done. Your videos have re-inspired me to get back to work on it during the lock down. anyways great work, love the videos.
Good tip on greasing the brakes. I have these same calipers on my R32 Skyline but only greased the pad backing plate shims as per the Nissan service manual. I'll be doing this in future!
Bendix blue high temp rubber grease works great for greasing contact points on brakes pads, also great for the slides in a standard floating caliper. RDA brakes supply grease packets with their gpmax and extreme range. Look like RDA slooted and dimpled rotors tbh haha
Hi Benny. Love your channel!.. I'm from the UK an I hope you read all comments!? I'm and old school BMW tech well 90'to2000's copper grease was not aloud in my dealer ship we had to use red rubber grease!.. Red Rubber grease is made from vegetables oil as the base lubricant. Vegetable oil is used as it does not damage capilier seals or any rubber seal,in fact if you put red rubber grease on your brake pistons on install it adds braking feel. Iv used Reynolds red rubber grease on my 1998 Kawasaki zx7r for the 14 years iv had her . please think of changing over!... Just think copper grease is a carcinogenic in a big way !..... Please use red rubber grease. If in dout please look up health consurns on copper slip/grease Vs red rubber grease. Hope you read this Benny
S14's had/have the same stupid clutch line thing. I was told it was supposed to act as a damper? I dunno... Was one of the first things gone off my s14 when i had it lol
Hey Benny, i was thinking about that Lexus of your's and since you've put a new throttle body on it and deleted a fair few vacuum lines, could it be that the horsepower nubers were so low because the variable intake manifold runners stayed closed and it choked the thing out? i still think there's no reason for it not to make 200 hp
Hey Benny, would any accumulation of brake dust on you anti seize have any negative effect on the lubrication you are trying to achieve ?....kinda like not WD40'ing some things in a dusty environment.....if you know what I mean? Cheers
The pads are binding in the caliper on fitment, Benny!!! Get some proper quality pads, Bendix or similar.....!!! Cheap enough to save your life!!! Grease will eventually get on the pads, and then onto the discs. Don't use it. Hose of calipers with tap water and brush them clean.
How good is today. BCW, MCM, Skid Factory. Days off midweek kick arse.
rigged schedule
ssc00p legit haven’t stacked the deck, it actually makes no sense to release all the vids on the same day .
@@BennysCustomWorks I knew it... it was a joke... maybe you could negotiate that schedule... aren´t you all friends ( EDIT: or as like Aussies often say... mates)?
Benny's Custom Works Well, I mean, it gives us something else to do whilst we're under pseudo-lockdown.
I watched all 3 (MCM / SF / BCW) back to back. I thought it was intentional so the viewer would watch one after the other.
Weird coincidence.
BCW gets the thumbs up before it even finishes loading. I know its gonna be good.
A single father of 4 kids and a mechanic in Victoria, I love watching your videos BCW .👍👍👍👍👍. Keep up the great work Thank you .

Go get em Benny! Love your show, no internal bickering like the others. (If I wanted bickering, I'd watch reruns of LA Choppers or Boyd Coddingtons)
I think it's an Australian thing. American's seem to love the drama.
@@ryantilley-general.shenanigans no, but the networks think we do. I don't know any Americans who don't think it's anything less than obnoxious.
Those loops and clutch hard line is for vibration dampening.
Because I can't afford to be a patreon, I watch all the adds so I can support your channel Benny 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Fresh delivery from golbeys, now to watch bcw 👌
DATONALKY sounds like us :D
Any chance you have a link to the bonnet struts you've used? Have looked into others in the past but these seem a level above most!
I did a set of struts on my Navara bonnet. Same thing, made it open further and got rid of the stick. No more hitting my head on the bonnet 👍
Loving the music on this episode

Thanks for the lube tips! Hopefully stops my pads squealing
I love the wheels on this 180SX
S14's had/have the same stupid clutch line thing. I was told it was supposed to act as a damper? I dunno... Was one of the first things gone off my s14 when i had it lol
yeah it makes your clutch feel lighter
Thought they were to stop some of the harshness of clutch dumping or kicking.. I know once i took mine off it became a gearbox killer! Lol
Project Mu.. The best pads ever
Funny man. Thanks for the info and entertainment.
What do you call those anodized socket driver bits you use on the impact driver?
180SR in here.... Good job
How do you know
Kookaburra laughing at 10:35
Love the vid Benny!!
10:56 passenger side brake pad spring on upside down (ask me how I know)😀
Makes for nasty pad squeal under light braking 😨
So need those struts!!
Yay new video

Gábor Négyesi only vac line we’ve deleted so far is the charcoal canister purge line. But I’ll look into it.
good work
Hi Ben , I enjoy your segments very much .What device are you using to film your content and how to you mange your sound .Its very good quality
What brand are the gas struts are they available for other vehicles
Cody mcallister-hasse we just bought them from Justjap
justjap.com/catalog/product/view/id/23948/s/jjr-bonnet-damper-gas-strut-nissan-s13/category/2624/ looks possibly like what was used
To Benny.. Who does your music? I need to get some of these tracks!
Cool music!
so good!
What gas strut kit did you use? Want to do the same on my 180
Kings Customs and fab we got it from Just Jap Kirrawee
Benny's Custom Works thanks heaps
Should have left the stick. If you left it, the struts will never fail. If you bin it, guaranteed a month from now one will fail.
Mad
1:49 Anyone know the song?
Seeing clean late model 180SXs from a warm dry climate makes me so angry at my 240.
AKADriver yeah the US and Canada are hard on S chassis :( i’ve not seen the rust you guys have even in Japan. Are the 240’s made in the US or Japan.
