You can get them through www.autospeed.com

I found they were pretty good with both service and price.

Give them a ring and see what they can do. Greenstuffs for the front of my R33 GTS-t were about $240.

It only took a day or two to get them to my door.

:) Thanks guys...

Jay - I've seen them on Autospeed but wanted to use that as a last resort as my last internet transaction didn't go so smoothly (bloody post office :P - 2 and a half weeks from Melb!!).

I'm looking for a cheaper pad with low dust which won't wear the disc down too quickly. There are plans for light track work, but not for a while yet (few thingd to get out of the way first). I might look at DS3000's then.

How much do a set of Bendix Ultimates go for? How much dust do they give off (under heavy street braking)??

Thanks

IMHO, the ultimates are fine for track work - mine get used > once a month. Dusty as hell for street driving.

Also, I think any good pad will eat the discs - as the whole system is working at a higher level. I have my discs machined pretty much every time I change pad ~every 3 months - I'm a very heavy user of pads at track days.

Not sure of price, but they are around the cheapest. They are not the best, premium, you beaut pads, but they are a solid, performance option and cheap to replace.

"any good pad will eat the discs - as the whole system is working at a higher level. "

Agreed...

I'm coming up to my 100,000km svc. in the next 12 mths, and I'm thinking of waiting until then to go for something with more bite, and upgrading to maybe slotted rotors. The funds should be flowing a little better then...

Do the Ultimates or Greens let off more dust...And what's the noise like with Ultimates?

I've run both, I found greenstuff to be squeally, and ultimates to be dusty. I much prefer the dust. I also got significant fade on the track with greenstuff (fine on the road tho).

DBA are putting together larger, slotted rotors for R33. I think that slotted rotors will wear the pads even more quickly though.

hey 46n2, good link. It says

bzzzzt... WRONG!

Whatever you're looking for.... It ain't where you seem to think it is!

:bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha: :bahaha:

I've had greenstuffs on the front of mine for about 16 months now and not once have they made a noise.

Actually, on the packet for them it actually says that they shouldn't make any noise, and if they do, take them out and send them back and they will replace them !!!

Did you put the shims in???

As for dust, they only create about 15-20% of the dust that the standard pads did.

michael talk to brakedistributors on the gold coast about the rotors. www.brakedistributors.com.au (trevor) i got my pads and rotors from him for the r32 brake upgrade. very good prices, tell him the guy who's doing the r32 brake upgrade from the skyline club sent you. 12455 should have his phone number.

slip, which pads did you go for?

surreal, I've got 2 quotes so far for greens, and Autobarn came up $30 - $40 cheaper. However they haven't got a listing for 32's specifically. They've got listings for 31's, and GTS' and GTR's up to 91? Nothing changed in 32's brakes after 91 - did it? Should the pads marked for GTS fit my GTS-T? :confused:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
