Phillip,

I've got a front set of stock pads with *Jay run's into the other room* about 6-7mm of meat left on them....

Actually, looking at these, I'm not sure if they are stock !! Do the stock pad's have a green metal backing !!!

J

Ummmm, how can I explain this.... The stock pads felt like standard pads, while the EBC's have more intial bite to them.

Bad explaination, sorry :P

One of the reasons I got rid of the stock pads was cause they can be noisey. Sometimes they would squeal when pulling up at the lights. But the front disks were pretty glazed over too, so matbe that had something to do with it???

DJ - you'll like the greenstuffs :P Just make sure you get the disc's machined too. I got about 20% better braking from them...

yer the place im geting them done say i might not need machining, they'ree inspect when i come in or the brakes and if the discs need it they'll do it but they say sometimes they are still good for new pads (i doubt they'd wanna be dodgy as i'd be back quick smart if i ass-end saomeone coz the brakes they fitted failed to pull me up properly)

all places machine the discs to be safe when they replace the pads.. but they don't necessarily need to do.. then they pull you up on "minimum thickness" requiring new discs costing a lot - i think its the greatest scam in the automotive industry.

Yeah, that's true. I remember dropping my old car off for a tune and getting a phone call an hour later saying that all the pads need replacing and the discs need machining. I told him that I checked them a week prior and that he was trying to rip me off !!!

He's responce - oh, we'll check again, they might be OK then !!!

Anyway, Sidewaymambo - I've attached a pic of the pads I've got. Don't worry, I've got 4 pads, only took a photo of 2 of them :P

jay..would you able to see any print on them? just want to make sure they are soft enough..thanks..

I might start a quick thread in the maintanace section to see if anyone has seen stock pads before. I'm nude on this, not sure if they are stock or not - I presume they are though.

There isn't any brand name stamped on them (if the were apexi ones etc, I'm sure it'd have their name stamped all over them - damn rice) :)

The numbers that are stamped on them are 6GXu 236M.

I'll see what I can find out.

J

I haven't had any luck yet with trying to confirm that they are factory pads :P

I've done a search around to see if I can find some pics on the net of stock pads, but again, no luck :D

Not sure what you want to do ???

Cheers

Jayson

mine are definitely stock pads (my car was 100% stock when it came in, ecu wasnt even touched so i doubt the pads were lol) so umm yer im taking my car in tomorrow to get brakes done so ill have them from tomorrow onwards (this is only the front ones)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
