2. Brake pad - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

   When the brakes are hydraulically applied, the caliper clamps or squeezes the two pads together onto the spinning rotor to slow and stop the vehicle. When a brake pad heats up due to contact with the rotor, it transfers small amounts of its friction material onto the disc, leaving a dull grey coating on it. The brake pad and disc (now both ...

3. Brake balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_balance

   The brake balance or brake bias of a vehicle is the distribution of brake force at the front and rear tires, and may be given as the percentage distributed to the front brakes (e.g. 52%) [1] or as the ratio of front and rear percentages (e.g. 52/48). [2]

4. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

   The embedded sensor in the brake pad 2 contacts the rotor and creates a connection to ground of the sensor. The metal plate 3 contacts the rotor and creates a noise. This wear clip should be positioned so that the rotor contacts the clip before it contacts the brake pad. The rotor should push against that clip, not drag it away from the brake pad.

5. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...

6. Braking distance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

   The type of brake system in use only affects trucks and large mass vehicles, which cannot supply enough force to match the static frictional force. [1] [Note 2] The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance. The other component is the reaction distance, which is the product of the speed and the ...

7. Maximum brake torque - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_brake_torque

   Maximum brake torque (MBT) is the use of optimal ignition timing to take advantage of an internal combustion engine's maximum power and efficiency. There is always an optimal spark timing for all operating conditions of an engine. MBT is ideal at wide-open throttle (WOT), but not desirable when the engine is at idle.

8. List of Nissan engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nissan_engines

   Nissan NAPS Nissan Anti Pollution System, predecessor to Nissan ECCS; Nissan PLASMA (Powerful ＆ Economic, Lightweight, Accurate, Silent, Mighty, Advanced) is an acronym for the engine series designed to counter Toyota's Lightweight Advanced Super Response Engine (LASRE). Nissan ECC is the Exhaust Gas Recirculator or EGR.

9. Nissan FD engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_FD_engine

   Torque output: 23.5–33.5 kg⋅m (230–329 N⋅m; 170–242 lb⋅ft) ... The Nissan FD engine is used primarily for Nissan Truck and Bus commercial vehicles. It is ...
