I just rang our local new zealand repco store, and they provided me with some brake pad part no(he said they were ferodo ones), im wanting some good ones for the street....and heres the options he gave me for my series 1 gtst.

Front

DB1170 - in GP/XL's/FF

Rear

DB1220 - in GP/XL/FF

i asked what the difference between the gp-xl-ff were, and he said its just pretty much normal brakes, medium perf, and track perfomance ones....

hopefully you guys know which is which?.....please help, i need some good front/rear pads for the street, and need to know which part no to go for.

thanks:)

Also, whats the best way to bed in brakes?, and what fluid is best to get at the same time?

For the street any dot 5 brake fluid should cover any needs you have and i would guess that is available in the shakey islands. And there are lots of traders on this site who will be able to help you source a set of performance pads, try Just Jap they are web based and can ship to you.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
