Hi all,

I have been quite active in trying to source some Series 2 Front Pads other than from Nissan (Front pads - Hitachi HP63H FF

about $220/pair), locally in Australia and I think I may have found an alternative.

OPTION 1

Brand: Ausbrake (Australian Brake Company) http://www.ausbrake.com.au/

Application: Stagea Series 2 Front

Model Number: DB7648A

Cost: $85/axle set inc GST + Delivery

Available from all approved dealers Australia Wide and maybe from others as well.

See here for locations http://www.ausbrake.com.au/Aus%20Brake%20Main.htm

Ausbrake is the Victorian, South Australian and Tasmania distributor for QFM brake pads so the two companies I believe are closely affiliated.

I got mine over the counter from Brakewest- Sunshine, VIC. http://www.brakewest.com.au/

I personally printed out the brake pad template from the Japanese application chart from Fujibrake and got Brakewest to match them up against the above DB7648A pad.

OPTION 2

If you are after another alternative here it is from Hawk (US Pad Manufacturer)

Usually instock from V-Sport - Sydney www.vsport.com.au

Brand: Hawk HPS Compound

Application: Stagea Series 2 Front

Model Number: Model HB387

Lining Number: 7766

FMSI Number: D888

Cost: $161 + $12 Delivery

I am sure that Bendix and other local manufacturers will start to manufacture an alternative as well given time and increased popularity of the cars in Australia.

REAR PADS

The rear Series 2 pads are Bendix generic number 1399 (US spec J30 Infinity 1993-1997)

I can see it's in an Aus Brake Box, that doesn't tell me who makes it. Aus Brake are a distributor as you've said for QFM, who manufacture pads, to the best of my knowledge Aus Brake don't manufacture pads. I'm just curious as to what they're putting in their boxes cause that's definitely not a QFM pad.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
