If you want to use bendix ultimate, be prepared to be cleaning them rims alot. main complaint is that they leave a lot of brake dust, and also chew through rotors like there's no tomorrow. but they are good cheap race pad, which counts for something.

Other common pad is rb74 (www.racebrakes.com.au)

However, if u r never going to the track, then just use any old crap, just go to brakesplus or something and get what they recommend, they should be able to figure out which ones to get for a '33

for most r32 and r33 skylines, pads are db1170 on front, and db1220s on rear. but I can't confirm that for sure, coz i don't own an r33, and if you have brembo's they're different.

I've used the standard OEM brakes, bendix advance, bendix ultimates, and racebrakes RB74...

The RB74's had the best stopping power, but were crap when cold. Also, I couldn't get them to stop squeeking.

The Ultimates come second in stopping power, but first for street use in my opinion. Yes they do leave a lot of dust, but the RB74's will chew through your rotors quicker.

The bendix advance pads are good too. Cant remember how dust was, ultimates feel a little better.

standard oem pads are crap.

Just get the Ultimates, they are very good for street use, and spirited driving.

Search the forums for the part number, it is listed SEVERAL times...

I'm currently using standard Nissan pads in my 33 just for around town. They pull up fine, don't squeel and no brake dust at all.

For track I use RB74's (which didn't squeel for me around town but did after I did a trackday).

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
