WTF!?

Please tell me your referring to simply brake pads on all 4 wheels and not caliper/rotor upgrade etc.

That price seems more like an upgrade because pads should not be more then $200-$300...

Your getting a car serviced @ Nissan?

lol... dude your crazy. Dont go near Nissan as its not locally delivered

The only thing you go to Nissan for is parts that you cant find second hand/new from a wrecker, and then ONLY if you can get trade pricing :blink:

Should only be a few hundred from any decent workshop which can be found in the sticky thread about it...

Do you even need to ask?

Call up racebrakes, tell them what the car will be used for and get the pads they recomened. Or check out any of the recomended workshops (sticked in the Vic section) and give them a call for a quote.

thats probably using brembo pads, fluids and proper service schedule checks etc

would also include machining rotors etc so yeah you can probably see why its so much

i rememebr someone talking about bnr34 compliance and if the workshop doesnt use the original brembo pads then you have

to fork out for a complete new set of brembo pads which is like $1500 or something spastic

but yeah any brake place can fit pads and do the normal work

heck even abs.com.au can do it - auto brake service, just a mainstream brake place

less a bit of the huge markup a Nissan dealer would charge, those prices are unfortunately about right.

As paul has pointed out, if a compliance workshop deems the brembo pads are less than 50%, bang, $1500 - $2000 added to your compliance cost due to genuine brembo pads.

so Nissan is at least correct in what they're quoting, albeit at inflated dealer prices.

If it's not compliance related, you can source some after market pads but you might have trouble finding ones that fit the brembo calipers. I think QFM can put whatever of their compounds you want onto your backing plate.

But yes, genuine brembo is very pricey and as others have said, prob don't want to go near a Nissan dealership.

Are your brakes rooted?? or they getting on in life?

by the way, your car is ridiculous HOT!!

i wasn't planning to go there but was just wondering how much it would cost, didn't think that i'll have to take out a personal loan to get my pads done at Nissan.

getting it done at Racepace, that's where i got my stage 1 mods and all my 5000k services. :D Ben recommended Bendix Ultimate but the guy at RaceBrakes says it's shit what do u guys/gals think?

well it's agreed will never take GTR to nissan :P never never never

It really depends on what you want out of your GTR, if it is a daily driver then Bendix Ultimates are a really good street pad, they produce quite a lot of brake dust but I have used them of a few different cars and have found them to be considerably better than the stanard pads.

I dont know how long they would last on a track though, as I have only used them for street use.

that is a straight up fkn rip off man - 3k for brake pads is a joke!

Have you considered giving it a shot your self - its not very hard and there should be a write up somewhere on the forum

if not then that’s fine - just get a reputable work shop to do it so you don’t get ripped off

ultimates from quite a few accounts prob won't cut it on the track, especially with the speeds your car is capable of.

re: brake pads.... how much track time are you considering??

in case you don't know, go to finalinspection.com.au to keep your car clean :)

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
