Bendix Ultimate is what you want.. careful on what the coventry/repco guys pick out of the catalogue as the current Bendix catalogue is wrong. Take in your old pads or trace the outline onto a piece of paper if you can as a sample as the catalogue has real life size pics.

From memory, I think the right shaped pads are under the heading of a R31 - but only because the catalogue is wrong!

Bendix are SHIT

Go to Perth Brake Parts in Welshpool.

Get some Ferrodo's or ebc or green stuff.

The belief that bendix are good pads is a JOKE. Parth Brake Parts - Ask for Neil (tell him Daniel AKA IMACUL8 sent you) and tell him what you need - he'll run through all the available options and their prices for you.

There phone number is 9451 9455

For a cheap pad, bendix ultimates are fine, especially on a road car, going to anything that is a partial or full metal pad is a stupid idea of a road car as it does nothing but destroy the rotors, and they squeal like stuck cops..

and they handle a beating fine, i used them for trackwork and MC without a hassle..

With the bendix - brake really hard 2 or 3 times in a row a watch those babies fade badly. If you drive like a old man there fine - but being performance enthusists id imagine that people like to give it a squirt. A better brake pad really comes into its own in situations like cruises when you sometimes do things you normally wouldnt - that extra security is wirth the extra 100 bucks.....

Dan - I disagree with you here. Never had a fading problem with Bendix Ultimate - maybe the slotted rotors are helping that. Bendix Advance however are shit - definitely agreed there..

I agree with XRW on the metal pads issue. No point putting them on a daily driven car. Warm up issues and chewing out brake rotors, etc... BUT if you drive everywhere in a manner that needs them and have lots of spare $$ then sure, I guess it's a good idea.. Depends what suits really.

BUT - for a young guy (13_devil) who probably doesn't have huge amounts of $$ to be replacing his brakes all the time, I'd say Bendix Ultimate would be the way to go.

LOL... agreed Dan.. :cheers:

I know what you're saying about ppl spending a fortune on parts that aren't important but not much on those that are. I think alot of it is a combination understanding of whats going on under your seat (not just under the bonnet) and "out of sight, out of mind".. *sigh*

I use Bendix Ultimate, and apart from knowing they're not the absolute Duck's nuts of pads, they do thier job well, and pull up a shitload better than stocker/no-name pads.

They take quite a beating before they get brake fade (albeit 5+ repeated stops from 190+ -> 0 km/h )

The good thing is, they bite hard and don't lock up the rubber unless pushed to the limit.

Considering this, I'm thinking for my next set of pads will be something like the Ferrodo 3000's. Only heard good about these.

Im running ferrodo 2500 on the rex, bought them 4 weeks ago - got a discount and picked them up for $200. They are fantasic. I have four pot brakes on the front, I cant recall what r33 run on the front - but thats the pricing for the 4 pots,

they are also 4 pot arent they

anyways mike go to the place dan recommended i went to their other store in myaree, but they are pretty knowledgeable and have done quite a few skylines, and suprisingly dan. the rear brakes use WRX part number for kevlar rears

i used ebc's on my white r33 and i favour them over bendix

There the same pad, as all the 4 pot sumitomo callipers use the same item..

the ultimates do not fad dan, ive done 20 laps non stop at wanners braking late and hard each time, they do not fade after a few hard stops..

if they where fading for you, put in new fluid, because its not a pad issue, when doing pads you should consider how long its been since a fluid change..

I'm from QLD but will be moving to Perth mid June. I have a set of RB74's on my car. Absolutley brilliant, very little dust, and very good bite from cold. Haven't had any problem from repeqted stops yet, no squealfrom mine. So far seems to be ok on rotors too, guess I'll see in a few months.

Try the DBA RB74 pads; they seemed to get some positive response and go for $120 a pair.

 

Decent pads, when bedded in properly, won't squeal excessively.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
