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.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
