R33 N/a Brake Pads

[_bobo_]

hey guys

yeah before people say *search* i have but gotten quite a few different responses and there was a bit of confusion about them, but that was a while ago

so just wanted to know what are the brake pads for a r33 gts25 s2 n/a obviously

Is it DB1144 and DB1308 which ive seen on the forums.

or is it

DB1165 & DB1144 which i saw on the bendix website

im thinking of buying some from supercheap or autobarn or something and getting a mechanic to do it as im doing a level 2 driving course at murcotts on wednesday & dont have the time to try and do it myself

ahh buddy.. in regards to the front brake pads . I'd try getting these ones in case . because i had lots of trouble before regarding it . there maxistop m-d-b 8382 or find other pads that compare to it

try give autobarn or repco a call, they have a bendix book and they can tell you which one

I went to the bendix site and sent them a query email and gave me the part numbers for my NA R34 Sedan (Not GT-V).

These are the part number for the NA R34 - not sure if they are the same...

Front:DB1308

Rear:DB1144

so maybe 33 n 34 have same brake pads.????? can anyone confirm this?

[iseekool]

My "educated guess" is they are the same - even the R33 N/A factory manual shows the caliper design as being the same as the R34 N/A. The more senior guys could probably answer this....

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know how much they retail for at Repco etc? Also what options are available, regular, sports pads...?

According to Bendix website they have a standard pad and a heavy duty pad to suit work utes but no sports option.

Originally i was looking for Bendix ultimates but decided to go for General CTs instead due to the other advantages and the fact I realised i don't really drive my car that hard majority of the time.

I did give them a good run on my last trip to great ocean road and thought of them highly.

The Bendix General CT (ceramic), retail for around $70 for the front and about $90 for the rear... odd considering the rears are smaller

Things to note about the General CT - as it may not suit everyone's needs.

- Slightly softer feel - less feedback - but you can definately feel them grabbing.

- Good overall performance - not as good as the heavy duty (metals) for long high speed braking - but still very consistent and competent for the price and other advantages. If your really need to slow down from high speed best down shift.

- Quiet

- Minimal dust

- Great grabbing power when brakes are stomped.

- Smell nicer - smell like buscuits - if that even matters hahaha

- Most likely wear faster (I also have genaral CT on my Bluebird and have noticed this) - but at least your rotors will last longer....

checked the bendix site

r33 N/A 93-99

front: DB1165

the 34 may have a similar shape but u cant be certain

and im sure the site and their book would have the exact same info
