Howdy,

I just did my pads etc yesterday

Priced up some endless pads but they are a little harsh i have heard, from cold

I put EBC green stuff in the front and EBC street kevlar balck stuff in the back. Had to get my disc machined cos it had a lovely groove on all 4 wheels, god knows why cos the groove wasnt on the outer of the rim either.

NEwayz all four pads, machining and EBC racing fluid with a flush etc. cos me $420

i wasnt expecting that but i did it anyways cos i had ebc on my lancer GSR and they pulled up a treat and didnt mess the chrome rims hardly. well at least no black carbon, just nice white dust after a while, easy to wipe off etc.

I would recommend them definately. the fronts are $220 and rears are $85, so i mean $300 really if you dont need machining and can change them yourself.

beware though i got quoted 3 different prices from 3 different places, 2 of which were the same company in different locations. lol

they are also rated at 600 degrees or somethingl ike that and the cheap as crap bendix replacements that were there were rated at like 220 degrees or something so the car didnt want to stop most of the time. also they are kevlar so disc damage is nearly nil and they work from cold so no probs with BITE

laters

Sweet...:D

Best place to get them (in brisbane...-anyone?) ? I was thinking of Greenstuffs a while ago but never posted to get actual feedback as to how they really perform, opposed to how they should perform...But 'tis good news.

Are redstuffs worth going the extra mile for? Apparently they last longer too. True???

I have Project mu pads, rated 0-600deg. That sqeak like buggery, have shitloads of brake dust and if the discs have got wet and get that tarnished film over them then they don't brake.

I am definately changing pads soon and will most likely go with a set of kevlar pads, less dust and consistant braking.

See'ya:burnout:

I think I saw someone mention ferrodo 'DS' series in the thread about brakes.

I used to ferrodo's on my mazda, I though they were very good indeed.

I think the range number for the skyline was DS 2500 and 3000 (the 3000's are a strong track pad). Someone know about these?

eeeeeeiiiiiiiiii.

that's the sound of endless stopping power (of which they have a huge amount)

mine were very very noisy but very effective (untill i lost one while driving on a mountain road(not the pad's fault)). cold or hot, it didn't matter, they worked well. a tad bit expensive though

so my advice is, don't get them if you don't like noise.:(

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
