Where can I pick up some good brake pads today for the GTR? Who stocks them? (It has Nissan brakes)

I'm thinking that I don't know what they've put in the GTR...

They say they've replaced all filters/oil etc, but I need to be sure, so I'm off to buy some good oil's/filter and thinking I should replace the pads as well.

Cheers

Ferodo's (spelling saun!!! :( ) are the bomb. i swear by them (the 2500's that is...).

That wasn't spelling... that was dyslexic fingers hehe

Hubby's dyslexic... lays awake at night wondering if there really is a Dog.

i liked my RB74's on the gts-t always pulled me up in plenty of time - racebrakes.com.au. Mention you are on SAU and they used to give you a discount not sure if they still do.

Another vote for the RB74's from me.

I'm not having any luck with finding heavy duty brake pads today :P

I've tried Trojan, Molonglo and Reliance. Reliance suggested I wait and get the Ferodo DS2500's said they would last and last, fantastic for motorsport, a little bit of noise (on the street) but worth it, they suggested around $220/250. Trojan also said the DS2500's at $300.48 for fronts and $270 rears.

I'll just take it steady this weekend anyway. I can't see myself being too bold upfront. I'll take it out on the GTST :(

Thanks for your help guys, always appreciated.

ACT Brakes in mitchell. Check out the EBC Reds (street) / Yellows (Street/Track) they wont eat your rotor and will stop you nice and quick.

Hey TiTAN are you running these on your car ??? i am actually probably going to go with the Red stuff on the front and green on the rear with the fozzie

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
