just go try repco, auto one, supercheap, etc.

im pretty sure the 32 gtr's are the same as a 33 gts-t, and i picked up mine from repco.

alternatively they can get them within the next week, got some ordered for kylie's stagea and recived them within a week (and they are weird/rare pads!)

dont bother with stock pads (or bendix, green stuff etc), if you are after decent performance when being hard driven - cos they are garbage IMO, more designed for someone who wants to think they got great pads but dont know better, they are also dusty as hell and fade quite easily once you start driving hard.

VisonR have a couple of different types of Endless pads in stock, around $240 (from memory) a set for SS-S, which will make you grin every time you touch the brakes. Excellent low dust street-light track work pad with great initial bite, 0-500deg C, aren't noisey when cold and wont destroy your rotors.

I agree with bendix but apart from teh fact the green stuf dissappears fast i thought they did well.

Think the pads u want for a 33t are "race brakes rb26's" yer i know 26 is just a coincidence. Perth brake parts are teh place for them.9451 9455

Who in Perth carries stock of brake pads for r32 gtr's ?

anybody know who coz looking at a few local websites they never specify what models they have the pads for

Hi Gary

The good news is that the pads for the non-Brembo GT-Rs are the same as those fitted to the S15 amnd many models of the WRX. Very easy to source.

If you want a set of excellent pads I have a set of "Pagid Blues" that I sourced from Perth Brake parts a while back. These are the "ducks nuts" and have done less than a 1,000 kms. Will really transform your braking!

Drop me a PM if you are interested.

That is a really low friction coefficient. You may need to get to the gym to work on your leg muscles. What are you using at the back?

Not sure what sort of road/track bias you are after but the Ferodo DS2500 takes a lot of beating. Friction coefficient is approx 0.5....

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
