I reckon every person with a S2 stagea should buy a set of these from Chuckie.

Imagine the day your pads finally run out - you will staring a $250 min bill plus up to 6 weeks wait for the pads to arrive from Japan. And even then you only have factory pads in the car.

Just grab these at $100, and keep them handy until you need them - because sonner or later you will!

i am in as soon as you know what the price is lemme know and will send ya the coin,

oh and by the way chuckie if you have a look next to the A key on the board there is a little button with caps lock written on it, feel free to press it so you are able to stop shouting hahaaha

cheers oxford

hehehe!

I'm in too, some time soon the fronts will wear out i suppose, and if you guys think it's a good idea, that's good enough for me. How much would postage to Adelaide be? Or can i get something similar done here?

CHUCKIE CHUCKIE CHUCKIE please call bendix marfleet my pads rebonded cost me $135 for medium race use ! And they feel great stop well .

SORRY CORY IAM VERY HAPPY WITH THE PAD`S I HAVE IN.SORRY IAM NOT RACING THE WAGON,I DO GIVE IT A GOOD BOOT FULL MOST DAY`S,THANK`S ANYWAY CORY.CHEER`S CHUCKIE.SORRY ABOUT CAP`S I NEED NEW KEYBROAD IT WILL HAPPEN :D

Has anybody replaced the calipers with S1 front brakes??

Surely this will be a much cheaper, safer and easier option in the long run. Assuming its all possible of course??

Is that what you call a retro-upgrade!!

cheaper, maybe, safer, doubtful, easier.... also doubtful....... but I tell you what, it'll be great for the resale value... while you're at it, why not go the whole hog and take the 'auto out, the engine..... or just go and buy a S1.... that's the cheaper, safer, and easier option.... :laughing-smiley-014:

Seriously I have a set of these re-bonded pads in my car and NO PROBLEMS....all you gotta do is send your worn pads to Chuckie, so that we can keep it going.

Oh and it seems as though some of you haven't realised that this way you don't have to take you car off the road (for more than 1 hour). If you get them done yourself... you'll be looking at t about 4 days without your car.

Actually, I've heard the fronts off a Pintara S/W will fit perfectly.....

But seriously, rebonds sound like the best option I've heard, I just like to look around first to see if there is anything better. If like me, you knew nothing about the brakes yourself, surely you'd do the same???

Chuckie, if my memory serves me right, the cheapest option will be pre-paid 3 kg satchel, it's $9.30. You may want to add an insurance, just a couple of bucks or something like that.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
