Brake Pads

[Clint32]

Can people please post their recommendations/experiences with their brake pads. I have heard good bad things about greenstuff pads and currently have ultimates but are getting new slotted rotors and want better pads.

[Guest SadisticRage]

"better" is relevant to what you're trying to do with the car...e.g. road work only, drags, track days and a multitude of other options.

Let me know what exactly you are intending to do nd I might be able to throw you some options.

[Clint32]

just for the street, probably getting some off racebrakes as they make to suit your needs and are well priced

[red900ss]

NISSAN originals seem pretty good for the street. Hardly any wear, even on the occaisional track day.

Boring I know, but practical

I have always had Bedix ultimate pads and have never had a problem:burnout:

[Guest SadisticRage]

As a suggestion, Mintex M1166.

Not as hard on discs as Green Stuffs, will handle track temps without a glitch and are fine from cold.

The only downside is a brake squeal similar to what many seem to experience with Bendix Ultimates although it is only for the first 3 or 4 applications until they get some heat into them.

Does anyone have any inidication of how much orignal Nissan Brake Pads are? I've been quite happy with them.... This is for a R33 GTR..

[skyzerr33]

endless pads?

i know onarun has em, but how much are they at set?

[400HP]

A set of rears or fronts in Sydney retail around $400 each!! very expensive...

Hey this is like only sorta related to the pads..

but which pads besides the greenstuff..give off the LEAST brake dust??

Ive got stock nissans at the moment..and stock nissan rims..and i never get much dust on them at all..

i love it!!! (cuz i hate dirty rims)

but a mate of mine has bendix ultimates..and his rims are premanently dirty

Bendix ultimates r a softer compound as where the nissan one are not, thats y get get more dirt on the rims

[400HP]

I was under the impression the Bendix are a metallic compound where as the nissans would have been softer.

Well anyway has anyone tried Racebrakes??

[XrSiSt]

I've got a set of Racebrakes on my front, they give quit of a bit

of dust, but then again i do give them a hard time. I'm more

worried about slowing down when I want, rather than some

dust which is easily hosed off anyway. :uh-huh:

Oh and yes.. Any of the pads mentioned are better than the

stock pads. Well in my experience anyway.

depends which ones you get.

NA-Y are 250

NA-S around 350

NA-M around 420

NA-R around 450+

I put some racebrakes ones in on friday along with some slotted rotors and it stops a lot better than the ultimates i had with no fade after chasing a 34 gtr in the hills, cant comment on dust yet

[soopamarcus]

Yeah i agree dust aint ab ig problem..i still prefer to stop on a dime..

but like id like to ahve the best of both worlds...

seems to me that EBC are the way to go...

but no pad can be dustless...i think EBC green stuff is just less dusty

I'm running racebrakes RB74 compound on the front and racebrakes comp2's on the rear. I got my discs machined last week then changed the pads. I haven't really given them a hard workout yet but they feel a bit more responsive than the factory pads I had in there. I'll be getting on the track in 2 weeks so I'll find out how they perform then

[BOOSTMEISTER]

I have found some sweet pads that I am using and after using many different pads on all my previous cars I can easilly say that these are the best pads ever. I have a full set of WedSport brake pads, these are awesome and I believe that Nengun sell them. I got mine from Japan and can't remember how much they cost but they aren't cheap.

Even from cold they are awesome and can easilly pull the car up from 200+ km/h.Must admit tho that they are very aggresive and I need to have the disks machined once a year.

[400HP]

Anyone know where the cheapest place is to buy endless pads?

I just recently found out the cost of original GTR pads

R33 Brembo front pads (genuine) $495:lol:

[400HP]

So guys with racebrakes ... how does it perform on the trrack??

Is this the RB25 compound???
