2)get some really good front pads now, and wait a while longer and get the rears as money is an option

What sort of pads are you after? As has been said, Lucas are a VERY good pad, good for 650 degrees, and VERY cheap. Its what I rally on, and can not justify spending the stupid amounts of money that ' high performance street cars' :bunny: seem to spend on theirs.

Above that you've got QFM's A1RM semi race pad (50-780) for $110 a set... Let us what sort of pads you're after, and stop spending stupid amounts of money on sbs/hawk/pagid/endless rubbish when there's better and cheaper options out there anyway.

More importantly what fluid are you running?

Get some good fronts first (since the front is where the majority of the braking occurs). Maybe also adjust your driving style so you don't keep jumping on the brakes at every opportunity, which will extend the life of the brakes.

Can I be blunt and say its your brakes man. Its really the only safety feature on a skyline... You NEED to do it properly. As has been said tho, the cheaper pads arent always bad. I've got some lucas ones, they are pretty good.

I got a full seat of pads for my 33 for $90 from my bullseye guy, a brand called 'Prime', they seem to be ok I'm running them on rda rotors... no squeals, just feels normal, not amazing but decent... ordered them in one day got em the next...

just done front and rear pads today, got some lucas ones, my olds ones were down to nothing. One slight problem, i went to fill my brake reservoir to find that its nearly going to overflow out!, what causes this, and how can i remove the excess fluid?

Think about it. You've just pushed a caliper piston back into a cylinder containing brake fluid. The cylinder is now smaller - some of its volume is now filled with piston. The brake fluid - like all fluids - is incompressible. Where is the fluid going to go?

Bleed the excess fluid out through a bleed nipple at one of the calipers.

Interested to know where you can get both the QFM pads from and the Lucas ones (located in Sydney btw)

If someone could PM me with details would much appreciate it :P

Cheers!!

GSL RallySport does both (and lots more) of them. Although I'm in Brisbane, I specialise in mail order and my sales are pretty well split locally and interstate. Shipping to Sydney is only $7 anyway, and will still come in under what Repco/Autobarn/Bursons will charge.

PM if you like, or what are are your requirements?

    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
