Brakes for a r33

Recommended Posts

Hey all..

The brakes on my skyline are annoying the hell out of me. They squeel really bad when I brake (unless they are really hot).

Can anyone recomend a way of stopping this or a nice set of pads that will give good fade resistance and braking with out the squeel.

Cheers

EBC GreenStuff makes nice margine "bang for Buck to speak"

or

ultimates = squeel

i run ebc greenstuff at the front and ultimates at the rear...

squeels when i brake lightly but a firm foot on the pedal makes no squeel...

as for dust, supposedly the endless na-m are really clean but they're 400+ a pair so...

Carlo,,,,we have changed front Discs to DBA drilled and slotted (this car will never see a racetrack) and Greens. Couldn't be happier bud,,,car stops at least 10-15% better. Mind you the brakes were excellent to start with,,,,blue backed some brand pad. Bendix pads are not really great for our cars. Checking the thickness of your Discs would be a much better start,,,,most of these imports are still using original Discs which by now have got to be getting thin. Ever wondered how many sets of pads have been in there??. Check DBA's site for tolerences.

I bought some endless pads for the front of mine. These were a light blue, if that is the pads you are looking for. Not sure what ones they actuallty are though. The box didn't say (yes i looked properly). Was just told that they are fine for street use. The only thing it had on it was "NA". These seem to be much better than my previous brakes of unknown origin. Both stopping and dust are better.

I've almost gone through a set of Ultimates up front and yes they make a heap of brake dust.

Even with normal braking the front wheels in 1 week time are black.

They don't squeel the slightest. If they do it means you have forgoten to rip the old Shims off the old pads before u slapped the new ones in.

I'm after a pad that lasts a little longer. These have lasted around 20k.

I got a set of pad from Race Brakes, they are a bit cheaper than greenstuff and were a imporvement on ulitmates for not much extra cost. The best bit is they dont make any brake dust, with the ulitmates in a week the wheels would be black, i havent cleaned my wheels for a couple of months(i know im slack) and they are still shiny, they do squell a little at times.

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
