hey everyone.

can someone help me out by finding out about this PROTEX Performance Ceramic Brake Pads? are they any good? i just need something that will do the job.. don't need performance brake pads as they are way out of my budget.

another thing is that don't really know whether this will fit my r33 skyline... the model No. is PROTEX Performance Ceramic Brake Pads db1165c.

i searched internet for about two hours and can find protex catalogue or anything... so if anyone happens to have the part number for r33 from protex or know that db1165c is for r33, please let me know... that would be much appreciated...

cheers in advance~!!! :closedeyes:

Well, a quick Google search revealed the following for DB1165 pads:

SUIT NISSAN BLUEBIRD U12 ZX,ZXE EFI ENGINE 1989 ON

U13 2.0L ENGINE 1993 ON

U14 1996 ON

Generally, Skylines use DB1170 pads in front, DB1220 rear.

Hi mate,

What are your requirements? If you're not specifically after performance pads, Lucas are dirt cheap, and good enough to win state rallying titles on. Above that you've got the usual horde of performance pads like EBC, Ferodo, QFM etc. Protex in general, be it their standard or performance range have always been good value for money, just a little harsh on rotors...

Talking of Lucas pads, where do you get them from in Sydney?

Any ABS Store sells them, and some other parts outlets as well. I've found that even with a $7 airbag I've been able to do them for less than most others anyway... If you get stuck trying to find somewhere let me know.

Lucas pads are very dusty though right?

Yep, but since they banned asbestos, that's the trade off with most pads. The only performance pads that don't produce a lot of dust is the QFM HP-X. Although not as good as the Lucas (650vs550) it is still as good as Bendix Ultimate, and easily enough for most road cars.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
