Hey guys,

Have searched forums a bit and have pretty much decided that Endless SSS brake pads are probably the way to go on my GTR as replacements (Actually, whilst looking I'm fairly certain I spotted a comment by Travis (Slippery) saying that he bought same pads in 07'...

Just wondering A: who would be the best people to grab these from? and B: whereabouts would people recommend getting them installed around Osborne Park? Also, anyone got an estimate of how much installation would cost? Never had to change brakes on an import before, imagine would cost a little more than a Commodore hehe

Cheers fellas :P

-Chris

Few people would stock these, Project Mu pads may are available in Perth, I might be able to help you in that regard if they are of interest. Otherwise your online Japanese sites dude, cheap prices just expect to wait a few weeks for them to arrive.

Found a stockist who can sell Project Mu NS series, front and rear pads for $368 total

http://www.searleraceequipment.com.au/shop...ype_ns_pads/118

Just ordered a set, should be here Wednesday/Thursday'ish.

Now just need to have em installed :)

Was considering the B-spec ones, but I don't track the car and have only attended 1 skidpan day with the car as it is.

After doing a bit of research and stop being a lazy c*** I had a look and found some very useful websites. Probably the best of the lot is this:

http://justskylines.com/knowledgebase/brak...brake_pads.aspx

In fact this website has a shedload of useful information and I'd recommend anyone have a look through. If I run into any troubles Rhys, I'll be calling you up.... with a carton... hehe

Might be able to tell me too Brendan, what, if any, performance differences are there between the R32 GTR brakes/calipers vs the R33 GTR's brembo package ?

32 has 300mm rotor v 33 brembo 324mm also brembo pads bigger face area ..

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
