Hi guys,

I had a wheel alignment the other day and was told my front pads are low and i "need new back tyres"

What are the best brake pads to get at an affordable price. (no ones getting tyres out of me yet there fine)

I have a r32 gts-t

Also im looking for some high temp brake paint.. I need the fusion green colour or something very similar to that would anyone know where to get a good range of colours?

Thanks

Corinne

Bendex Ultimates are nowhere near $170, I got a set for $100 in Briz but I did not use them (they are for sale $80) because they are not up to track work. I use Feredo's which are good and retail at around $220 for the front set. (I've got a 33 GTST)

i hate brake dust.. its a pain in the arse trying to keep my car clean as it is.. my mum warned me about getting a black car.. but hey it looks sexy.. and i only clean it once a week.. no one sees it during the week day..

i got a quote on bendix ultimates from autoone on anzac pde in kensington for like 87 bux for fronts on an r33 gtst. I've had prices of about 120-130 from repco and other places.

Lot of people rate them pretty well as a street pad.

Thats alright.. might go there because its only down the road then..

Thanks for that..

EBC Green stuff work great on my 32 for street and track day fun. But your brake pads arent worth a pinch of sh%#t if your tyres are screwed......

Theres nothing wrong with the tyres.. they just wanted me to buy a new set..

Holy shit this is old.. I thought someone had messed around with one of my recent threads.. haha

I ended up buying the advanced and only recently changed to ultimate.. you can notice the difference..

Brendan maybe try autobarn or supercheap.. they retail for about $99.00

    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
    • Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
