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 :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....

    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU. 
    • Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
