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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
