So my C34 S2 needs pads soon.

Anyone care to give feedback on whether the R34 Gt-t conversion is worth it, time and effort sourcing parts versus upgraded feel/stopping power.

I figure once i sort some calipers, lines, new rotors, pads and a seal rebuld kit I will be somewhere between 5 and 9 hundred.

Pads for the standard stag calipers will probably be like 80 to 140 so is it really worth it.

I also plan to do this myself, my car is my daily so it needs to happen all in one weekend.

Thanks.

Japanese Import Spares sell Project Mu front & rear pads for S2 Stagea's for $395.

[import_zone]

brand new pads for GTT i got quoted around $100 for front nd rear for bendix HD. nd $140 for QFM, around $225 each for front rotors (slotted 4000 series) rears (slotted 4000 series as well) $159 each, and got a full set of GTT calipers+Bolts+Lines for $600. unless u get second hand pads nd rotors with calipers. (calipers from a wreckers so can probably get them cheaper on here if ur willing to wait for some to come up or can find some).

GSL Rally Sport can hook ya up with pads that straight on the s2 c34.

They wrote

" Ok we do the fronts in a brand called Remsa. These are a European street pad. These are $105 inc gst for the set and we do the rears in QFM HPX compound for $79 inc gst for the set.   Shipping is free you purchase front and rear pads on the same order, or $8 for one set."

Any comments.

I have bought pads for my S2 from GSL, they we're great to deal with. Posted them straight away.

The side of the box said Nissan Murano which prompted me to search part numbers and yes, they are the same,, BUT, I'm not 100% sure if thats an Australian Delivered Murano. . So you could possibly walk into any auto store and ask for Murano pads.

I have my old pads and intend on going to my local Auto-One and comparing with Murano pads but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Good quality pads and decent brake fluid will do the job comfortably. I picked up R34 calipers, slotted rotors and pads for a good price so it was a no brainer for me to do the conversion. Perhaps with repeated stops this setup is superior but for day to day driving it feels the same.

[66yostagea]

I fitted 4 pot GTST calipers , front, used standard rotors. No great noticeable stopping power, but then I have not had to stop in a hurry

Fit was easy as.While I was at it fitted new kits and pads. Braided lines are next. Then I will do rears.

[import_zone]

just did my 34 gtt conversion all round with T3 4000 series rotors nd Bendix Ultimate pads. and stopping has greatly improved during bedding in, ill let people know how they go on cruise tomorrow nd after a little driving. but it all depends on how much people are willing to spend on doing brakes as too wat u should do.

[wolverine]

I am not a fan of the pads on the Stagea that came with the GT-t calipers. The previous owner said they were ultimates. I am keen to try a different pad at some point in the near future. Dusty mofos plus I don't like the initial bite.

[KiwiRS4T]

I put a set of GTT brakes on my S1. They don't stop any quicker but allow for more repeated use without fade - towing or track. Mintex pads helped for track but have now upgraded to D2s.

[import_zone]

sorry guys wont be taking my car in hills tonight to let u know how the breaks do. hopefully i am feeling better tomorrow night. but driving through town to pooraka today. managed to catch every light. kept braking as it was at the start. so hopefully ill get the full report to u guys soon. i am thinking going QFM next to see the difference. but ill have to wait till these go.

I got the remsa pads from gslralleysport and it was hard to get them to fade for bedding in!!!

they sit between the hpx and ar1m apparently

[gslrallysport]

Nope, they share the same pads as the USDM Murano, and the Infiniti equivalent.

Heard that before! Keep in mind, that if you're going to change to another pad, you'll have to either replace or machine the rotors to get a fair comparison of the new pad. Modern pads since they banned asbestos hate working on rotors which have had a different material on them.

Say what?

[pipster11]

They didn't want to fade, sorry

[gslrallysport]

But why were you trying to make them fade during bed in?

[import_zone]

they shouldn't fade at bed in, they should be getting better at bedding in.

and took car out other night for a hills run nd brakes didn't lose any pressure. but had mad brake noise. so trying to get that all sorted. cleaned front brakes today so see how they go again. hopefully be better tonight. if not hopefully brakes will get hot enough tonight to clean off what is left in terms of dirt on them. otherwise still strong brakes no matter wat

[wolverine]

The right front squeal is finally settling down on the (I believe are) Ultimates.

[pipster11]

Check for a lip on your rotors for brake squeel

I thought you had to get past green fade when bedding in so I just went for total fade then long drive with minimal braking to let them cool

[wolverine]

No lip on the rotors. A bit of lip from the missus when they squeal does that count?
