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?

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)

    • 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
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
