Thats a bit like saying r34 GTR or non turbo 32 gts whats better, the GTR is better but it costs about 10 times the price.

Ulitmate pads are ok for the street but are very dusty, race brakes rb74 are much better with little dust and are about $150 set, endless are a very good pad with different grades but would be $300+ a set, what do you require from the pads?

I went for the Bendix Ultimate as I was running out of money at the time. They went well at the last track day at Queensland raceway, but yeah a set of RD74s would be nice, alot of the guys out there use them. And yeah, the ultimates are the dustiest pads I have ever used!

I have Endless NA-R and despite the fact that they are described as a "specialist circuit pad" heat range 300 -800 C they have been on the car since last December and are excellent on the track ,dragstrip and circuit. They feel just like a normal pad ,are not especially dusty and just stop the car whether it's the end of the dragstrip, the main straight at W'bank for the 7th time or the first traffic light on your way to Maccas.

Considering the cost of my car, the cost of all the extras on it , the fact that one of my favourite sons drives it on the racetrack and Mary's favourite husband (me ) drives it on road and track I consider it to be $456 well spent even though the price curled my toes up at the time.

www.racebrakes.com.au for phone numbers. Fronts should be $150 or less (tell them you're from SAU and you get the club discount), not sure about rears. Apparently Comp 9's on the rear are a better match for RB74's on the front, but speak to the guys at the shop.

My pads are 60,000kms old, (ive used them for about 7k since ive had the car) and they still have more than 50% left. I have endless NA-M pads....after seeing that they have lasted this long, i would definetly see them as worthwhile replacements.

They may be overkill for street use, the rb74's might be much better value for money, but i havnt used them so couldnt say.

But yes the endless pads are excellent, not much dust, and they bite hard when hot or cold, plus i have never felt any fade.

Only downside being they apparently eat through the rotor faster than other pads.

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
