I'm gonna start a sticky thread, where we can post prices for anyone to view the alternatives for the consumables that people are starting to use, namely discs/pads and tyres as well as Nissan OEM prices.

Please copy this list below and insert your prices and supplier/dealer. Traders registered on here are obviously encouraged to add their own prices. It will start as fairly blank, but please everyone add your prices.

The aim is to enable us GTR Owners to quickly establish current pricing and the alternatives available.

Also highly recommend Pentosin transmission oil over OEM. We have run it in our old JDM R35 since early 2008, now on 17,000 miles. Similar cars in Singapore have also run this for some 20 months now.


I said from day 1 the aftermarket would take hold of this car and make it competitive in both performance and prices :thumbsup:

Thanks Ben,

Just to check, are those prices for a complete axle for the pads, but per disc for the discs?

and what about the sharp noise they make when braking very soft?
it is starting to get on my nerves,
can not drive with my window open when driving in traffic, they even make a sharp noise when driving very slow (btw is that normal)

The noise I had when driving slow I cured easy simply by putting copper grease on the pins/springs and pad backs. I got the impression the slight run out of the discs was making the pads move so that contact areas worked a treat for a couple of thousand miles but i think i'll have to do it again now as this week its starting to do it again.

Performance friction

There are the Performance friction 2 piece discs available for the front and rear of the car. They are direct replacements and they are proper fully floating discs. The pads are good too!

This is a shot of the rear of the front disc

This is a shot of the rear of the rear disc showing the drum in hat section

Tried these on an evo and they were awesome!

they are available from RB motorsport 01704 822 848 (rich/steve?)
Coordsport 0121 661 6263 and Unit 8 01254 702 888

Prices??

 

[charles charlie]

saw those on ebay...

Does anyone have direct experience between these and the AP rotors?

 

[Guy]

I had PF Rotors on my Ruf GT2 and they were excellent.

 

[charles charlie]

ebay prices are £1200 pair front or rear, so £2400 for all four.

Twice the price of the APs, although the PF rears also include the drum housing too.

The pad compound is 01, this is like a ds3000 but works from lower temps and doesnt chew discs. However the disc will work with any other pad brand.


Product review from some Canadian guy??

Why would anyone buy drilled discs for track use?

No matter how well made, they will propogate serious cracks before grooved ones.

Have you driven a GT-R on the DS2500s Iain?

Middlehurst suggested I try them and they are going straight back!

 

[Litchfield]

Yes thanks David, I did a trackday on them and found them to be a reasonable fast road pad.
What was your problem?

 

[charles charlie]

Not purple enough?
