hey all. i need to change the brake pads and rotors on the 260 (s1)... r they the same as the 33 gtr being brembos?

im looking to get slotted... dno y is there any reason to or not to?

and pads... i realllly cbf cleaning my wheels any longer what doesnt give rude amounts of dust! :banana:

cheers

adam, your brembos are the same as those on bcnr33 (r33gtr) and bnr34 (r34gtr) only difference is in the caliper mounting bolts

if you want, you can buy my rotors, and i'll pay the extra to get myself some slotted, if you don't want to fork out too much at the moment

I went for the Project Mu b spec pads, awesome bite and work straight away, a little dusty but not as bad as the formula ferodo's ive had before.

I just went some stock R33 GTR rotor's, at the time i wanted slotted but didnt have the kesh.

I run RDA slotted rotors and QFM pads in the skyline. I've used them at the track a few time and both have held up awesome, not much brake dust at all with the QFM pads and they are pretty cheap as well :bunny:

Racebrakes RB74 pads, or Endless SSS if you want to spend more for less feel.

RDA slotted rotors.

hopefully would be 200 per end for rotors and 170 per end for pads!

per end? i think you mean per corner.

just some info i found from a sponsor on ns.com

GTR BREMBO Pads (R33,R34 some WRX and evos, PM if unsure)

EBC-31032 Front set Redstuff $300

EBC-31538 Rear set Redstuff $168

Redstuff

Temp range 0-775 degrees celcius

bite cold 0.46

min friction @ 120mph-0mph 0.25

BREMBO Discs

324mm RDA-7701 Front RDA Disc ea $160 Ask for stock +$20-40 postage ask for quote <---- that's for non slotted

324mm RDA-7701s Front RDA Slotted Disc pr $Ask+$20-40 postage ask for quote

where should i get them... i got a quote for 33 gtr rotors from ABS today.. like 320 for fronts each, 230 for rears... i think pads were like 180ish? but seriously..... chances of not bending me over:( lol

Adam, GSL Rallysport are selling QFM pads through the Classifieds Business Traders' section here on SAU... They can also hook you up with rotors.

Might be worth looking into, plenty of people report that they perform well and are low in dust.

If you have rotors which are in good cond you can get them slotted. They are usually machined in a straight line but if you think about it for a second or two you can see that they will work as well as the visually more exciting curved slots.

Agreed.

I have the QFM A1RM pads on my car (daily driver). Pulls up much better. No dust (which I needed) and no noise (which I preferred).

Seem to have a pretty good lifespan and are a GREAT price too!

Definitely recommended. :P

go for DBA slotted rotors

and search ebay for good brembo pads

;)

I found a set of Panoz (Wilwood)4-pot billet aluminium calipers for $150del. + Wilwood Superlite pads for $100

cant wait to modify and install !

ebay: some cheapy pads http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GTR-200SX-300ZX-IMP...p3286.m20.l1116

and http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Nissan-Skyline-Fron...p3286.m20.l1116

FYI EBC Redstuff pads squeak like buggery, I have these with slotted rotors and my car squeaks everywhere. They are great once they are hot and they stop you bloody quick when you mash the pedal to the floor but I don't reckon they are that good for street driving. I would go for a less aggressive compund of you are looking at ebc pads either go green stuff or maybe some project mu pads they are pretty good, racebrakes stock them.

i got a set of rda? slotted rotors for $310

and red stuff ebc for $250

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
