When i used to beat the hell out of the Supra i had Ultimates on and i found they did fade on occasion (usually around 3am) i upgraded to the Green stuff and never had a problem again. The fluid was DOT 4 and had been changed very recently so it wasnt that. In my opinion nothing is as important as brakes on the car, this may have something to do with my master cylinder blowing last week when i was on a 3am tourist drive through kings park ;)

Neil @ perth brakes is the guy we usually do a bit of a group buy with as he's my cousin and generally helps us out if we get a big enuff order together.

The ferrodos are good i hear but a bit on the expensive side, the rb74s seem to get a good reveiw from everyone so thats what id go with if i were u.

Thought about a rotor upgrade? Skyzerr and Gradenko did that a while back and they are pretty good for the price around $500 i think from my shot memory but dont quote me.

Try the DBA RB74 pads; they seemed to get some positive response and go for $120 a pair.

 

Decent pads, when bedded in properly, won't squeal excessively.

I'm on RB74's too. Made by RaceBrakes btw, not DBA. Excellent pad for the money, much nicer than the Ultimates I used previously. The RB74's aren't the most disc-friendly pad around, but they don't fade like Ultimates can, and they take a lot more punishment without dumping resin all over your discs. They did squeal when I first put them on, but that could be put down to heat stressed & worn factory discs - they're quiet as a mouse with DBA slotted rotors on.

G0DF4Th3R, not much dust with these. No where near as much as with Ultimates anyway.

XRW, Ultimates *are* metal and *do* chew discs. Why are they good again? ;)

I personally won't be using anything BUT RB74 Pads from www.racebrakes.com.au (they are abit more than $120/set too). No squeel, excellent stopping power and no fade (im using DBA4000 + Braided lines + sleeved master + master cylinder brace + DOT5.1).

Gents,

time for a brake pad change i think(2-3mm) left, but decided to either go for either RB74's and Ferodo TS2000 but got quoted

for RB74's $145 (front) and $165 (rears)

and for Ferodo TS2500 $160

Where are you guys buying yours? These are from racebrakes direct and perth brakes respectively.

And one last thing.. R32 GTST type M doesn't have the same brake calipers as the R32 GTR's do they?

After last months sprint day at wanneroo,which consisted of 5x 2 lap runs,the Bendix ultimate pads i where using performed patheticly.They overheated,turned to charcoal and glazed/overheated my rotors(DBA slotted).

I had been using the cheapest road version Endless pads(from Xspeed) and could not complain at all about them.

For you mums Camry,go for Bendix.

(yes i have Skyline 4pots on my R30)

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
