Excellent semi-metalic brake pads that has minimum dust, great for the street and minimum Track work.

Thanks for helping me get rid of it!

sorry, forgot to add, $40 is mechanics price for these pads, they are normally $70 retail. Most auto shops around Sydney should carry them and they are fairly good pads.

I would love to give you some specs, but the company which produces them dont publish anything on their website.

They specialise in trade customers.

All l know is they do have a great feel and grip tighter than Bendix premiums, they are almost on the same level as the Ultimates, ive used them previously on the car and this is my 2nd set.

Great pads for the streets, but not recommended for Track work. But then again, don't think you can get any decent track pads for under 100 a pair.

Cheers

what is the temperature rating on these pads?

what are they like on cold starts?

will they fit r33 gtst s1?

location is the inner west of where?

$40 for the fronts and rears correct?

how long did they last you?

pics?

can you provide any more details/links about these pads? i couldn't find any useful info on the net :D

Sorry, l dont know those details as well, lm located at Kingsgrove, if you would like to pick up.

They will certainly fit a r33gtst s1 as long as they are 4piston fronts and 2piston rears.

Yes, they are $40 for front and rear.

With the occasional thrashing and heavy braking, i had them on for a whole year and still got alot of meat left.

Heres an image of it

Dont think itll be much of a difference as its built using similar tech to the Bendix premiums.

Please dont expect too much though since they are ONLY $20 a pair!

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
