When i used to beat the hell out of the Supra i had Ultimates on and i found they did fade on occasion (usually around 3am) i upgraded to the Green stuff and never had a problem again. The fluid was DOT 4 and had been changed very recently so it wasnt that. In my opinion nothing is as important as brakes on the car, this may have something to do with my master cylinder blowing last week when i was on a 3am tourist drive through kings park ;)

Neil @ perth brakes is the guy we usually do a bit of a group buy with as he's my cousin and generally helps us out if we get a big enuff order together.

The ferrodos are good i hear but a bit on the expensive side, the rb74s seem to get a good reveiw from everyone so thats what id go with if i were u.

Thought about a rotor upgrade? Skyzerr and Gradenko did that a while back and they are pretty good for the price around $500 i think from my shot memory but dont quote me.

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.

I'm on RB74's too. Made by RaceBrakes btw, not DBA. Excellent pad for the money, much nicer than the Ultimates I used previously. The RB74's aren't the most disc-friendly pad around, but they don't fade like Ultimates can, and they take a lot more punishment without dumping resin all over your discs. They did squeal when I first put them on, but that could be put down to heat stressed & worn factory discs - they're quiet as a mouse with DBA slotted rotors on.

G0DF4Th3R, not much dust with these. No where near as much as with Ultimates anyway.

XRW, Ultimates *are* metal and *do* chew discs. Why are they good again? ;)

I personally won't be using anything BUT RB74 Pads from www.racebrakes.com.au (they are abit more than $120/set too). No squeel, excellent stopping power and no fade (im using DBA4000 + Braided lines + sleeved master + master cylinder brace + DOT5.1).

Gents,

time for a brake pad change i think(2-3mm) left, but decided to either go for either RB74's and Ferodo TS2000 but got quoted

for RB74's $145 (front) and $165 (rears)

and for Ferodo TS2500 $160

Where are you guys buying yours? These are from racebrakes direct and perth brakes respectively.

And one last thing.. R32 GTST type M doesn't have the same brake calipers as the R32 GTR's do they?

After last months sprint day at wanneroo,which consisted of 5x 2 lap runs,the Bendix ultimate pads i where using performed patheticly.They overheated,turned to charcoal and glazed/overheated my rotors(DBA slotted).

I had been using the cheapest road version Endless pads(from Xspeed) and could not complain at all about them.

For you mums Camry,go for Bendix.

(yes i have Skyline 4pots on my R30)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      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
