Bendix Brakepads

[carlo]

Hey all.

I want to give these bendix brake pads a go. (I nuked my rb's at the track yesterday)

So my question is

What are the part numbers for skyline r33 gts-t bendix ultimates front and rear. Because I called my mechanic and his supplier said they dont do ultimates in gtst only metals and premium.

Hey Carlo,

Have you checked out www.discpads.com, I'm pretty sure they will stock them.

If you have checked them out, then please disregard =)

[carlo]

Just checked it out

it has skyline gt-r 89 onwards. Is that the same as r33 gts-t?

Says the model is

DB1170 Front

DB1220 Rear

[Endorean]

I cant remember if it was discpads, but I recently enquired about upgrading the rotor on my R33, I'm sure it was Discpads.

I'll check tonight and let you know, perhaps e-mail them or call them and find out.

dude, afaik the 200sx caliper is the same size/shape as the gtst/gtt's.

just out of interest, have you asked nissan for stock nissan pads? just be sitting down when they tell you the price

Fantastic.. Thanks dino.

I have a set of Ultimates sitting right here waiting to be fitted to my r33 for when the urge to head to the track gets to strong.

Exact part numers for ultimate.

front: DB1170 ULT

Rear: DB1220 ULT

Bendix Ultimates are ok if you don't plan to brake very hard... on the track they are useless after 2 laps. even the cheapest Endless pads are 10x better........

[franks]

id have to partly agree with that, ultimates are good for performance street, but probably not the best for track - would be worthwhile for the extra $'s to get RB74's...

[carlo]

Yeah I think I will use the bendix on the street and swap out the front brakes for track days with the RB's. Just that RB's on the street squeal to much.

[red900ss]

Carlo, don't muck around. Get a set of these pads:

Remember when we were rapidly approaching turn 2 and I hit the anchors and you said something like,

"whoa! what brakes have you got in this thing???"

Ferodo DS2500s

With the club discount at RaceBrakes and the use you'll give them it'll be money well spent.

[red900ss]

Oh yeah...no squeal, work cold, very little dust, blah blah

[carlo]

Yeah actually dino thats half an idea. The race brakes where nice but the ferodos pulled you up very very fast at EC.

[Duncan]

Hey, be nice to em, I use the bendix ultimates on the track. Nice and cheap, good enough to stop a slow skyline like mine.

[mist]

bendix = brake at the kink at the end of pit straight at Wakefield Park

high performance pad = brake last minute b4 the corner

[benm]

Carlo my RB74's didn't squeel at all until RaceBrakes accidentally got some Caliper paint on the rotor/pad and now the rears squeel their tits off at times before that I never had RB74's (Comp2's on the rear).

[carlo]

ben my ones squeel like a mofo when cold. Not my worst pad though, before those I had hawks (from japan with the car) and those could make your ear bleed.. argh

i've had the rb74's on since trackday and yes, they are squeeling like a 18yr old.
