sh1t really? i thought you'd be looking at $3k...

are you using standard calipers?

got any pics of them?

not sure about what to use on the back. You could look at some apexi brake pads i think JMS have them for $340 (and a set for the front for $330)

I just wore out some big dollar pads over 2000 kms :P

After just buying FMIC, 044 pump, LT12, and extreme clutch, i got bugger all cash left.

I didnt realise all these decent pads were hundreds of dollars a set (front only!) So im going a set of Bendix Metal Kngs all round. 70bucks for the fronts, WOOHOO!! bargain. haha

Ill let you konw how they compare to the big dollar pads. Should be interesting.

i have EBC green stuff on the front and EBC black stuff on the back, however the back are insignificent just put anything on there as long as its the right fit. The bendix number fo the front is 1149 they are the same as landcruiser and you can get pads for as little as $40 but there sh_t. I had endless or something similar on the front before, lasted 5thou k dust everywhere all the time and where out of temp range after 10 or so spirited corners!@!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
