CHECK LAST POST BY ME

This car is not ever used for track work

Its just daily driving/spirited *cough*

Perhaps 1 or 2 trips to the drags.... perhaps.

read a few posts saying SS-S endless pads are excellent and then another thread saying its co-efficient or someshizz is too low.

and that DS2500's are good.

I have only ever used stock and ebc greenstuff on the r33's...figure its time for a change.

Are these ferodos as good as people claim.. or is the japanese brand the way to go.. Hoping to not spend over $300 on a set of fronts that will improve over stock while maintaining the NO NOISE factor of stock

just pick one and tell who is gonna get em cheap..

oooh also anyone know anything about SBS... race brakes guy said he is getting some of these.. but not sure about them.. he knows ferodos.

peace

I've got DS2500 on slotted DBA's and they work great...i'm happy

On the negative, they do produce a bit of dust but I wouldnt agree with Nuffsaid; they're not that dusty. I guess its what your prepated to put up with. If dust is a concern you can get a wheel sealant from waxit.com which I hear is good at cutting down the cleaning effort. Noise wise...well yes they are a bit noisey until I get a bit of temp into them...and yes i've tried the ususal solutions to keep them quiet.

Hmm, I use DS2500's & I am very happy with them.

Some things to note:

They really aren't that dusty.

They will make a little noise when cold, but the best cure for this is to bed them in properly. They come with instructions - so follow the instructions.

They appear to be fairly gentle on the rotors.

Mine cost <$300 for the fronts, delivered.

am getting prices on the ds2500s and ds2000's

oh and some more ebc greenstuffs... or perhaps redstuff..

just depends really... greenstuffs nevermade a squeek when i had them on the 33's

its just a tough sorta choice..

OKAY LATEST UPDATE

Decided for the money...

That EBC greenstuffs will suit my needs.......so can anyone get hookups for pricing..at or around or preferably under $200 for an R34 front pair

PLEASEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on saturday if possible.. kkekeekeke

How did we go with this Riaz? anybody find you a set of these for under $200? i am needing a new said of pads for the front aswell, budget minded so looking for something under $200 as well, either green stuff or bendix ultimates, am renovating sly so to speak and cant be bothered cleaning of a new set of wheels all the time with brake dust caked up on them

  • 3 weeks later...

Ive used just about all of the pads suggested, DS2500 where good but dusty as said, Red stuff were very good but cracked my discs, Yellow stuff I found to be the best overall, not that dusty, don't squeak, don't take that long to get up to temp, and stop the wheels real quick! I wont used anything else after a few laps with them in, excellent pads :laugh:

  • 4 months later...

So guys suggest getting EBC Yellow stuff yeh???? I'm thinking of gettin the Bendix Ultimate.. I believe the have a newer version of it now.

MY rears need replacing but front r ok. My plan is to put front onto the back and replace the front... will that b ok or r they different???

-SeS

Got bendix ultimate on mine front and back, been on for about a year now dont do any hard driving at all. When do you think i should change the pads? They aint that dusty but the yellow ebc ones are alot better if so will buy?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
