WTF!?

Please tell me your referring to simply brake pads on all 4 wheels and not caliper/rotor upgrade etc.

That price seems more like an upgrade because pads should not be more then $200-$300...

Your getting a car serviced @ Nissan?

lol... dude your crazy. Dont go near Nissan as its not locally delivered

The only thing you go to Nissan for is parts that you cant find second hand/new from a wrecker, and then ONLY if you can get trade pricing :blink:

Should only be a few hundred from any decent workshop which can be found in the sticky thread about it...

Do you even need to ask?

Call up racebrakes, tell them what the car will be used for and get the pads they recomened. Or check out any of the recomended workshops (sticked in the Vic section) and give them a call for a quote.

thats probably using brembo pads, fluids and proper service schedule checks etc

would also include machining rotors etc so yeah you can probably see why its so much

i rememebr someone talking about bnr34 compliance and if the workshop doesnt use the original brembo pads then you have

to fork out for a complete new set of brembo pads which is like $1500 or something spastic

but yeah any brake place can fit pads and do the normal work

heck even abs.com.au can do it - auto brake service, just a mainstream brake place

less a bit of the huge markup a Nissan dealer would charge, those prices are unfortunately about right.

As paul has pointed out, if a compliance workshop deems the brembo pads are less than 50%, bang, $1500 - $2000 added to your compliance cost due to genuine brembo pads.

so Nissan is at least correct in what they're quoting, albeit at inflated dealer prices.

If it's not compliance related, you can source some after market pads but you might have trouble finding ones that fit the brembo calipers. I think QFM can put whatever of their compounds you want onto your backing plate.

But yes, genuine brembo is very pricey and as others have said, prob don't want to go near a Nissan dealership.

Are your brakes rooted?? or they getting on in life?

by the way, your car is ridiculous HOT!!

i wasn't planning to go there but was just wondering how much it would cost, didn't think that i'll have to take out a personal loan to get my pads done at Nissan.

getting it done at Racepace, that's where i got my stage 1 mods and all my 5000k services. :D Ben recommended Bendix Ultimate but the guy at RaceBrakes says it's shit what do u guys/gals think?

well it's agreed will never take GTR to nissan :P never never never

It really depends on what you want out of your GTR, if it is a daily driver then Bendix Ultimates are a really good street pad, they produce quite a lot of brake dust but I have used them of a few different cars and have found them to be considerably better than the stanard pads.

I dont know how long they would last on a track though, as I have only used them for street use.

Cheers

that is a straight up fkn rip off man - 3k for brake pads is a joke!

Have you considered giving it a shot your self - its not very hard and there should be a write up somewhere on the forum

if not then that’s fine - just get a reputable work shop to do it so you don’t get ripped off

ultimates from quite a few accounts prob won't cut it on the track, especially with the speeds your car is capable of.

re: brake pads.... how much track time are you considering??

in case you don't know, go to finalinspection.com.au to keep your car clean :)

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
