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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
