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 are they like on cold starts?

will they fit r33 gtst s1?

$40 for the fronts and rears correct?

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!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
