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:

    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going. 
    • New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.
