Gtr Bendix Brake Pad Part Number

[vbevan]

The R33 GTR Brembo front pads. What is the Bendix part number?

On their website, they have:

DB1170

Year: 1989 – 2001

Model: Skyline

Variant: R32, R33, R34 GTR (Import) Turbo

Set consists of: 2 Inner Pads and 2 Outer Pads

FMSI: 7340-D460

and

DB1520

Year: 1990 – 2001

Model: Skyline

Variant: R32; 33; 34 GTR Brembo Caliper

FMSI: 7858-D960

So, what's the difference? One does say brembo, but I didn't know there was a R34 GTR without brembo pads for example. I also didn't know there was a "non-import" or "aus-spec" GTR, or any R32-R34 for that matter. Any advice here?

hey funny timing, I was just mentioning this mistake in another thread yesterday.

the website is incorrect, db1170 is non-brembo r32 gtr only (aus delivered and imported). all other gtrs run the brembos and part # db1520

Hi Guys

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

Just wanting to confirm that Bendix 1520 & 1521 are the correct pads for an R34 GTR with Brembo's?

It is according to the bendix website I just want to be sure. Cheers

please don't get those god awful pads.. you might as well be using 2x sheets of glass as brake pads.

At least go with Intima Pads, Project Mu, EBC, Hawk, Ferrodo, and as much as I dislike QFM yes go with them.. no Bendix.. YUCK!

btw.. I can get Intima Pads at a good price, PM me if you're interested.

Are they really that bad? I've normally run Bendix on most of my cars and never had an issue??

till they crumble on you and your brakes don't work..

I thought the same, put a set of Bendix CT pads on the daily because I needed some ASAP and didn't have time to order decent pads and they turned to absolute shit.

I took them out, took photos and sent them to Bendix Australia... they didn't say much and sent me back a set of Bendix HD and that was it.

Also about 6~7 years ago, I always thought Bendix was awesome, put a set of Bendix Ultimates on my old R33 and it squealed, chewed rotors like a crack wh0re and faded even going though the Royal National Park. Moved to QFM A1RM and that fixed everything.

Now fast forward 7 years I refuse to use any of the 2x brands mentioned in this post.

I run bendix in my evo, general CT as they are the only ones that dont squeal in my car

But definitely go project Mu, those things are amazing, also comes with high quality shims so should be less noisy than other track/high performance street pads.
