Yes i searched and looked in the DIY section but i found alot of conflicting answers, some post were from like 2005. Anyway i'm the new owner of a 1997 stag and i nee to do the pads all round, so if someone could point me in the right direction with where to buy and some part numbers for front and rear that would be awsome. I'm sure its been asked before so im sorry but oh well, while im here whats with the threads not opening fully on here and having to click each individual post? im probly missing something simple im sure but i couldn't figure it out.

cheers

im in perth mate, where about do you buy them from? it's just my daily so im only after every day pads not need for performance as i dont tow either.

These are good and affordable everyday jap pads available at VisionR in Perth. They have more types to choose from (Brembos etc), depending on your needs.

ACRE SUPER FIGHTER are designed for street use with sports driving in mind, with good response for cold start and its beautiful control ability, it is perfect for most street driving weekend warriors. This pad has its all best balance with minimal brake dust, can be use on normal daily and sports vehicle driving. This is what we call the Super Street model, and it is also Acre's new design based on their street pad technology. Super Fighter brake pads are rated 0-450 deg applicable rotor temperature and friction coefficient of 0.35-0.45μ

cool, what're you looking at for costs? think i'm approaching replacement time too, pedal is getting awfully spongy :P

can never have enough brakes, RB74 are best by far, 175 per end. mine they modified the mounts of another pad to suit for the fronts.

Endless or Nismo or any other brand I get from www.rhdjapan.com but the Racebrakes RB74 are better when cold, hot, better feel and cheaper, and are aussie based.

www.rhdjpan.com has them too

Im running Lucas Premiums on the front. ABS had them in stock :S DB 1398 springs to mind for some reason for the front axle pair....

I need to look at the box to tell you but im 99% sure they run the same as a certain aus delivered nissan on the front... (think it was a maxima)

series 1

Q45 infiniti front, R31 rear

We've got Series 1 rears on the shelf in Acre ($65), TRW Lucas ($69) and QFM A1RM ($119). Fronts we've only got in Nisshinbo (Japanese brand similar to Acre $75) or TRW Lucas ($79).

Currently working with QFM to get them made up in both HPX and A1RM for both the front and rear, but this will be 3-4 months away.

For series 2, we're currently taking pre-orders for QFM front pads:

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
