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 :wacko:

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

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 :P

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 :D

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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
