Called around Repco, Super cheap auto and Bruson and none have Bendix Ultimates...

They do have at Burson for $59 front and back Bendix GCT.

Are these any good? I dont plan to go tracks just for normal street driving.

Also is machining the disks a must or can I skip that part?

Cheers.

Generally you only machine the discs if they have noticeable wear on them (use your fingernail from the edge, if there is more than a 1 or 2mm gap, they certainly need machining, or possible replacement.).

Can any mechanic workshop machine the disks for a skyline or must i go to some special one?

Also how much is the process?

Don't use greenstuff try the ferodo pads T2000 better for performance driving plus you can get the pads and discs macnined at Race Brakes Sydney.

The disc rotors may also need machining because often the rotor will wear on uneven or on a taper so machining will fix that and make the surface flat for the pads to bed in properly.

yeah thats pretty cheap, we do em for $26 per rotor, but add to that half our labour if your not getting pads done at the same time.

through my work you get Ferodo Excel pads (bendix advance equivelant) with rotors machined, all fitted an done for $201

just to give you a reference

iam running the bedix ceramic pads at the moment, lacking in the performance area but absolutely no brake dust. The last pads i had were the bedix metal kings or something along those lines with heavy metal compound, i found these very very good for stopping but shit load of brake dust and also being a metal pad they will wear and tear your disk alot quiker

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
