Hi, was wondering what the best brake pads for street use would be to suit R33 GTS?

I've been looking at Bendix and EBC, also Intima. Still not sure on what ones won't eat my brakes up and last longest with nice braking strength

Depends on what you have in the front. If you do not know what you have in the front, do not buy tricky dicky rear pads. Just get OEM equivalent (or just the OEM pad, which work fine). If you know that you have mildly better pads on the front, then put Bendix Ultimate or similar on the front. If you have shit hot pads on the front, then you can consider shit hod pads for the rear as well.

QFM HPX or Remsa (Remsa pad sits inbetween HPX and A1RM) for a purely street driven car, QFM A1RM for a car that sees light track work, check GSL Rallysport's subsection on here.

Whatever you have in the front, put them in the rear.

No point having a lesser pad upfront, and a better in the rear.

If you drive the car hard and get the brakes hot, you'll run the chance of the rear out-braking the front and car coming around on you.

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
