The R33 GTR Brembo front pads. What is the Bendix part number?

On their website, they have:

DB1170

Year: 1989 – 2001

Model: Skyline

Variant: R32, R33, R34 GTR (Import) Turbo

Set consists of: 2 Inner Pads and 2 Outer Pads

FMSI: 7340-D460

and

DB1520

Year: 1990 – 2001

Model: Skyline

Variant: R32; 33; 34 GTR Brembo Caliper

FMSI: 7858-D960

So, what's the difference? One does say brembo, but I didn't know there was a R34 GTR without brembo pads for example. I also didn't know there was a "non-import" or "aus-spec" GTR, or any R32-R34 for that matter. Any advice here?

hey funny timing, I was just mentioning this mistake in another thread yesterday.

the website is incorrect, db1170 is non-brembo r32 gtr only (aus delivered and imported). all other gtrs run the brembos and part # db1520

Hi Guys

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

Just wanting to confirm that Bendix 1520 & 1521 are the correct pads for an R34 GTR with Brembo's?

It is according to the bendix website I just want to be sure. Cheers

please don't get those god awful pads.. you might as well be using 2x sheets of glass as brake pads.

At least go with Intima Pads, Project Mu, EBC, Hawk, Ferrodo, and as much as I dislike QFM yes go with them.. no Bendix.. YUCK!

btw.. I can get Intima Pads at a good price, PM me if you're interested.

Are they really that bad? I've normally run Bendix on most of my cars and never had an issue??

till they crumble on you and your brakes don't work..

I thought the same, put a set of Bendix CT pads on the daily because I needed some ASAP and didn't have time to order decent pads and they turned to absolute shit.

I took them out, took photos and sent them to Bendix Australia... they didn't say much and sent me back a set of Bendix HD and that was it.

Also about 6~7 years ago, I always thought Bendix was awesome, put a set of Bendix Ultimates on my old R33 and it squealed, chewed rotors like a crack wh0re and faded even going though the Royal National Park. Moved to QFM A1RM and that fixed everything.

Now fast forward 7 years I refuse to use any of the 2x brands mentioned in this post.

I run bendix in my evo, general CT as they are the only ones that dont squeal in my car :P

But definitely go project Mu, those things are amazing, also comes with high quality shims so should be less noisy than other track/high performance street pads.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
