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 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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
