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

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

holy shit balls!!!1!ty

does seem a bit much doesnt it? lol

[ScaryTed77]

That is insane.

I got a set of Project Mu Pads supplied and fitted for under $400.

Ask for clarification. If they are charging that for supply and fitting of pads then that is the biggest ripoff ever.

[Leon.T]

err...the cost of owning a GTR...lol.

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.

[Kaz200]

wow, we'll do it for half that price! open 24/7!

[Kozeyekan]

3K for brake pad change? IF it included calipers and rotors, THEN it's OK.

Have a crack yourself, I'm pretty sure theres a DIY in the DIY forum for it.

[adam-__-]

Just curious, what did you pay for your R34 GTR?

[paulr33]

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

[SS8_Gohan]

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!!

[saff_cossie]

I wouldnt be taking any import Nissan to a main dealer and the prices speak volumes!

[West]

....and i thought i paid $500 for remove and refit my exhaust manifold was a big deal, i guess its not then .

[allthewaytotheskyline]

thats a rediculous price, you must not go near them...you are being over quoted by atleast $2,200

[eMsta]

go to a proper workshop man - u can easily get better parts for that price im guessing

[GD2ILA]

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. 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 never never never

[silva33]

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.

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

[SS8_Gohan]

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
