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.

Cheers

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 :)

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
