Yes i searched and looked in the DIY section but i found alot of conflicting answers, some post were from like 2005. Anyway i'm the new owner of a 1997 stag and i nee to do the pads all round, so if someone could point me in the right direction with where to buy and some part numbers for front and rear that would be awsome. I'm sure its been asked before so im sorry but oh well, while im here whats with the threads not opening fully on here and having to click each individual post? im probly missing something simple im sure but i couldn't figure it out.

cheers

im in perth mate, where about do you buy them from? it's just my daily so im only after every day pads not need for performance as i dont tow either.

These are good and affordable everyday jap pads available at VisionR in Perth. They have more types to choose from (Brembos etc), depending on your needs.

ACRE SUPER FIGHTER are designed for street use with sports driving in mind, with good response for cold start and its beautiful control ability, it is perfect for most street driving weekend warriors. This pad has its all best balance with minimal brake dust, can be use on normal daily and sports vehicle driving. This is what we call the Super Street model, and it is also Acre's new design based on their street pad technology. Super Fighter brake pads are rated 0-450 deg applicable rotor temperature and friction coefficient of 0.35-0.45μ

can never have enough brakes, RB74 are best by far, 175 per end. mine they modified the mounts of another pad to suit for the fronts.

Endless or Nismo or any other brand I get from www.rhdjapan.com but the Racebrakes RB74 are better when cold, hot, better feel and cheaper, and are aussie based.

series 1

Q45 infiniti front, R31 rear

We've got Series 1 rears on the shelf in Acre ($65), TRW Lucas ($69) and QFM A1RM ($119). Fronts we've only got in Nisshinbo (Japanese brand similar to Acre $75) or TRW Lucas ($79).

Currently working with QFM to get them made up in both HPX and A1RM for both the front and rear, but this will be 3-4 months away.

For series 2, we're currently taking pre-orders for QFM front pads:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
