Brakes

[stormtrooper]

Hey guys,

Have searched forums a bit and have pretty much decided that Endless SSS brake pads are probably the way to go on my GTR as replacements (Actually, whilst looking I'm fairly certain I spotted a comment by Travis (Slippery) saying that he bought same pads in 07'...

Just wondering A: who would be the best people to grab these from? and B: whereabouts would people recommend getting them installed around Osborne Park? Also, anyone got an estimate of how much installation would cost? Never had to change brakes on an import before, imagine would cost a little more than a Commodore hehe

Cheers fellas

-Chris

Few people would stock these, Project Mu pads may are available in Perth, I might be able to help you in that regard if they are of interest. Otherwise your online Japanese sites dude, cheap prices just expect to wait a few weeks for them to arrive.

And install them yourself man, easiest thing you can do on a car apart from putting fuel in

[stormtrooper]

Never actually done brakes myself!!! But if someone wants to do em for me I'll shout em a carton

Will have a look into the Project Mu pads aswel, cheers for that Monga

Found a stockist who can sell Project Mu NS series, front and rear pads for $368 total

http://www.searleraceequipment.com.au/shop...ype_ns_pads/118

Just ordered a set, should be here Wednesday/Thursday'ish.

Now just need to have em installed

Was considering the B-spec ones, but I don't track the car and have only attended 1 skidpan day with the car as it is.

After doing a bit of research and stop being a lazy c*** I had a look and found some very useful websites. Probably the best of the lot is this:

http://justskylines.com/knowledgebase/brak...brake_pads.aspx

In fact this website has a shedload of useful information and I'd recommend anyone have a look through. If I run into any troubles Rhys, I'll be calling you up.... with a carton... hehe

[NA_Goodness]

Haha, no worries Chris. If you can install a cam cover, you can definately change your brake pads! Make sure everything is tight and you'll be fine.

Good luck!

As it was, they finally arrived on Friday. The guys at Searle had a bit of trouble with Toll on delivery of the pads with what was supposed to be overnight delivery.

Installed em meself Friday night... goddamn, those brake pads are frikken awesome. I'd recommend them to anyone

[Hanaldo]

What pads did you end up getting Chris, Project MU?

Might be able to tell me too Brendan, what, if any, performance differences are there between the R32 GTR brakes/calipers vs the R33 GTR's brembo package ?
