So i still got the compliance brake pads in my r33... and they need a bleed anyway.. so i was going to change the brake pads and bleed at the same time.

So i was wondering have any of you guys used this brake pads? Are they any good? How much did you pay for them? Ive always used bendix in the past and i trust their products... i would prefer to just get reviews on that brake pad... but other suggestions on other brands are more then welcome...

and yes ive read the brake pad thread.. but im more after specific information on the Bendix SRT

Cheers,

Brendan

O btw here is the link to the website

Hopefully someone who's tried them will post up what they're like and what they paid for them cause I'm curious to know what they're worth. I've seen their performance specs, and know what else with comparable performance is on the market and at what cost, but in typical Bendix fashion I'm not expecting them to come even close on price. Looking forward to seeing if anyone has used them though... Although (won't be a dramas for Skylines) I know the SRT range is very limited in application.

If ya going to do track days go for the project mus they are great except they squeak real loud to lol but when there hot lookout pull you up on a dime.

They arent cheap either $640. I swear by them. Otherwise ferodos for street use are good. Try & stay away from bendix had them yes they work but after using ferodos & projects wouldnt go back.

thanks for the info guys

Still no personal use on the bendix SRT?

Ultis are good, i use them in my daily. but was after something a bit more serious..

my friend just bought Ferodo for his 180sx? but they seem a bit cheap? he only paid 60 bucks ? Or did he just buy the lower end of them?

bumble_bee: Are you able to give me part numbers for the Front and rear bendix ulti? Thats assuming your running a r33 gts t?

the fronts i know are DB1170ULI or is it just UL?

dont pay more than $120 here in perth..

i payed 100incl..but that was trade..

try " Perth Brake Parts" there in welshpool..ask for michael..9451-9455

he drives a vl turbo...so he's pretty the best guy to talk to down der..

he can answer ur questions about most different types of brands aswel...

umm i think they wanted $115 or was it $120 for em..which is alrit..

but ring around..like ur local repco store and brake store..and c wat they sell em for too... :D

the part numbers are on the bendix website..but theres no GTST!!????

i was like wat the f%$K????

but its the same as the GTR section..so yeah

hope that helps..

na, havent tried SRT..is dats the yellow box? :rofl:

oh and ur mate wit the 180..

yeah..he did get the cheap/basic pads of that brand..

i beleive its ferodo excel??

correct if im wrong..

but i believe der equal to bendix GCT...which are about $50bucks

Cheers Guys + Bumble bee

After having a few talks with people who have owned and used SRT's i think its a bit overkill for street use... even tho i do have a few skid pans etc days.

So i think ill just go with bendix ulti's... they seem the best value for money in regards to good pads for street.

I got white wheels tho... so ill have to be cleaning them every week! dam dust.

Add a couple more to the list...

well from wat i heard..trade price anyways are around...

bendix gct - $50-60

bendix ultimates - $ 100-$120

Ferodo Excel - $60-80

Ferodo DS3000 - ?????

EBC Greenstuff - $200-250

EBC Redstuff - ??

Endless - ??

Lucus - ??

QFM HPX - $79 (Equivalent to Bendix Ultimate, minus the dust)

QFM A1RM - $119 (Equivalent to Bendix SRT or EBC Red)

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
