Is it DB1144 and DB1308 which ive seen on the forums.

or is it

DB1165 & DB1144 which i saw on the bendix website

im thinking of buying some from supercheap or autobarn or something and getting a mechanic to do it as im doing a level 2 driving course at murcotts on wednesday & dont have the time to try and do it myself :wacko:

I went to the bendix site and sent them a query email and gave me the part numbers for my NA R34 Sedan (Not GT-V).

These are the part number for the NA R34 - not sure if they are the same...

Front:DB1308

Rear:DB1144

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know how much they retail for at Repco etc? Also what options are available, regular, sports pads...?

According to Bendix website they have a standard pad and a heavy duty pad to suit work utes but no sports option.

Originally i was looking for Bendix ultimates but decided to go for General CTs instead due to the other advantages and the fact I realised i don't really drive my car that hard majority of the time.

I did give them a good run on my last trip to great ocean road and thought of them highly.

The Bendix General CT (ceramic), retail for around $70 for the front and about $90 for the rear... odd considering the rears are smaller :P

Things to note about the General CT - as it may not suit everyone's needs.

- Slightly softer feel - less feedback - but you can definately feel them grabbing.

- Good overall performance - not as good as the heavy duty (metals) for long high speed braking - but still very consistent and competent for the price and other advantages. If your really need to slow down from high speed best down shift. ;)

- Quiet

- Minimal dust

- Great grabbing power when brakes are stomped.

- Smell nicer - smell like buscuits - if that even matters hahaha :D

- Most likely wear faster (I also have genaral CT on my Bluebird and have noticed this) - but at least your rotors will last longer....

    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
    • The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
    • If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.
    • The funniest part I saw, was someone would bitch and moan on FB about something, Andy would be the one to respond, asking for more info, if he could contact them, what the engine setup is, what their config file was, and 95% of the responses were people just going "der! It doesn't work" and Andy going "What doesn't work?" And then going "The firmware!" And they'd go around in circles as no one could ever give information, and Haltech couldn't fault things on the bench, (especially when people wouldn't give any specifics).   Many moons ago, when Andy was back at e420c stage, he reached out to me, and asked me to test different plug and play looms for him (already had an e420c in the car on his V1 PNP loom). And he kept asking me, as I was competent enough to be able to give him some specific feedback on what was/wasn't working, how to replicate the faults etc, and work through things with him. Most people are terrible at answering the questions they're asked, or being able to provide quality feedback other than "it doesn't work".
    • I say it often, none of this stuff is really Skyline-specific per se. But in general there's not a lot of people who actually know what they're doing. A lot of people charging like they do. Agile software development probably isn't the greatest idea for an engine controller.
