so can i get factory pads n rotors from nissan?

If they are the same as my RS4T then:

Front rotors: DBA 4909SR and DBA4909SL (left and right) ...no longer certain about numbers for rears. BUT check prices and dimensions (esp offset on rears) before you buy.

I think they are the same as S14 200SX (if they are more common in Australia)

But double check... thre has been much confusion

ABS brake services city branch (in adelaide) got me a set of pads in for the front of my 97 s1 stagea within a couple of hours. And they are Lucas Premium pads so they are not to bad....

S2's a a bit different but how much did they charge you by the way? All 4 corners?

ok i found the genuine pads for bout $200 but guy at sprint said he could do lucas for $100 set.

the dba 4909sr is looking promising. nissan said the 4 must stand for 4000 series? 909 is the rotor and sr stans for sloted rotor, but hes unsure if its the right one.

i gave the number to sprint he said that sounds bout right and he could get them but for twice the price as i could. and that was from qweensland friction manufactures. can anyone else add to this to confirm these rotors fitting cause i wont be able to return them.

by the way i would take them off and have them matched up but its the only car i got roadworthy at the moment.

These are for front only. S = slotted l=left r=right a= heat treated (optional, more expensive but better). I believe these are made in Australia so you may be able to track down the manufacturer or else try some other auto parts places (not Nissan).

p.s. If you are on a budget (for now) and not intending to hammer the brakes you could see if the rotors could be machined.

Lucas pads FTW!!!!

They are pre-baked so the break in period is bugger all compared to other pads. Not too dusty either IMO.

A member here in WA gets his brake pads rebonded for about $60 per set so maybe PM chuckie for future reference.

Shoulda checked the brake sticky dude, we just covered S2 stagea rotors. The front rotor is 49mm offset not 54 like silvia/skyline.

The only rotors i could find that would fit are genuine nissan or imported from japan specifically for S2 stageas.

DBA dont make a rotor that fits.

I fitted dixcel slotted rotors and wedsport sc pads.

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
