brake pads (how much?)


Recommended Posts

Do you really think he needs ebc greenstuff? just cause its a cool brand and good for racing, i doubt he will really reach the potential that those pads require, the usually reply is bendix ultimate im not sure if they are that great or that available. For around 150 bux "RG" pads will be about it, ive heard a couple of good stories about them, dunno the bad though. Simon at works auto in bently should be able to point you in the right direction, perhaps i dunno i just want to get him off his lazy ass :D

I thought I was the only one that used em for the low end cheap stuff.

You should be able to get some for under $60 but they will be just pads , nothing too flash.

BAH!

All you people pay WAY too much. I picked up Bendix Ultimate's for the Front (DBA1170, IIRC) for $85 (normally $139) and fitted them MYSELF. Come on people, it's not rocket science!

Stop paying people to do SIMPLE-ASS jobs to your cars!!!!!!!!!

F*ck me, no wonder some bodgy shops stay in operation.

i've got some Lucas Metallic pads in the supra, cost me about $50 for the fronts from Perth Brake Parts, they delivered them for free, and I fitted em myself... I'm thinking of getting some Endless from Japan via Speedworks next time I'm up for some front pads tho...

The Lucas pads do leave quite a bit of dust on the wheels, however, they stop pretty well...

They sell Bendix Ultimates etc which I don't consider low end.

Not top shelf either but good quality

yeah, i guess it's more of a you pay for what you get situation when it comes to brake pads, but not all the time as but i reckon EBC's are quite good and i dunno where you heard the bad stuff about EBC from fil? you should give them ago probably stop you just as well as endless pads for less price :)

adrian :)

ps: yes are know endless are boss pads! :)

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
