The GTR R33 original Brake pad cost $1800 ???? I don't think it make sense at all when a set of original Brembo doesn't even cost that much. Apperantly nissan didn't use Brembo pad for the std brake pad, instead they used a brand call AKIBONO Part #AP50HFF

Does anyone out there have a solution to solve this problem, what other brand brake pad can be used for compliancing other than AKIBONO which cost ridiculously. EBC and BREMBO are definately does not meet the requirement! Please give me the part# as well.

if you can give me the chassis number for the car, and preferably the brake pad nissan part number I can check the price in japan and may be able to help you out with this.

Sorry, I don't know the part numbers.

In regards to the compliancing issue, basically it all depends on the evidence held by the RAW, so basically whatever the RAW says goes.

The ADR in relation to the brakes is ADR31, and basically it says that you can use the manufacturers brakes or brakes that have been tested to comply with ADR31, which is a very costly exercise which leaves most RAWS with only the option of using manufacturers brakes.

That takes place if your used pads are not roadworthy.

Thank you for the information, so what brakes do you guys use?

Well we use Either Nissan genuine ones or LA Performance ones.

Thank you for the informations. Is that the only 2 brake pad that comply with ADR?

As Skyline33 said it depends on whatever your RAWS (workshop) had approved for compliance. You can only use the brands your workshop requires, not any alternatives. So if you need AKIBONO pads, unfortunately there is no way around that.
