Phillip,

I've got a front set of stock pads with *Jay run's into the other room* about 6-7mm of meat left on them....

Actually, looking at these, I'm not sure if they are stock !! Do the stock pad's have a green metal backing !!!

J

Ummmm, how can I explain this.... The stock pads felt like standard pads, while the EBC's have more intial bite to them.

Bad explaination, sorry :P

One of the reasons I got rid of the stock pads was cause they can be noisey. Sometimes they would squeal when pulling up at the lights. But the front disks were pretty glazed over too, so matbe that had something to do with it???

DJ - you'll like the greenstuffs :P Just make sure you get the disc's machined too. I got about 20% better braking from them...

yer the place im geting them done say i might not need machining, they'ree inspect when i come in or the brakes and if the discs need it they'll do it but they say sometimes they are still good for new pads (i doubt they'd wanna be dodgy as i'd be back quick smart if i ass-end saomeone coz the brakes they fitted failed to pull me up properly)

all places machine the discs to be safe when they replace the pads.. but they don't necessarily need to do.. then they pull you up on "minimum thickness" requiring new discs costing a lot - i think its the greatest scam in the automotive industry.

Yeah, that's true. I remember dropping my old car off for a tune and getting a phone call an hour later saying that all the pads need replacing and the discs need machining. I told him that I checked them a week prior and that he was trying to rip me off !!!

He's responce - oh, we'll check again, they might be OK then !!!

Anyway, Sidewaymambo - I've attached a pic of the pads I've got. Don't worry, I've got 4 pads, only took a photo of 2 of them :P

jay..would you able to see any print on them? just want to make sure they are soft enough..thanks..

I might start a quick thread in the maintanace section to see if anyone has seen stock pads before. I'm nude on this, not sure if they are stock or not - I presume they are though.

There isn't any brand name stamped on them (if the were apexi ones etc, I'm sure it'd have their name stamped all over them - damn rice) :)

The numbers that are stamped on them are 6GXu 236M.

I'll see what I can find out.

J

I haven't had any luck yet with trying to confirm that they are factory pads :P

I've done a search around to see if I can find some pics on the net of stock pads, but again, no luck :D

Not sure what you want to do ???

Cheers

Jayson

mine are definitely stock pads (my car was 100% stock when it came in, ecu wasnt even touched so i doubt the pads were lol) so umm yer im taking my car in tomorrow to get brakes done so ill have them from tomorrow onwards (this is only the front ones)

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
