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.

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
