go to nissan, you will get front and rear pads.

or take your vaseline to EBC.

or take it to powerbrake.

Arent the S14 pads the same as the 300zx pads?? If they are you can get ferodo pads for R695 for the fronts.

cos i cant install my r32 calipers at the moment because i cant afford the disc/pad combo from powerbrake.

those pads are much cheaper and easily available from my local parts dealer!

Pads cost me R695 as I said for my Z32 calipers. I am up for new disc now aswell, I have developed a shudder, but not too bad after 8 years. BIG $$$ because they are 325mm 😮 .

Front Ferodo FDB986 - same as 300zx and Scooby
Rear - Ferodo FDB756 or Auto Bahn D3269

The OEM Nissan pads works ok for about 2000km under hard driving then starts to shudder. Had to skim the front. Since switching to Ferodo, no more shudder and no wear on the disc. 100% improvement. Just be carefull, the ceramic pads are a bit scarry when cold, be careful. 😉
At 1 stage couldn't get Ferodo rears and where quite impressed with the Auto Bahn rears. Never paid more than about R450 at Midas for the front pads.

Yip, even after I skimmed the front dics... With new Nissan pads it gone, but the 1st time under continues hard braking, they overheat and then shudders. The Ferodo does that when there is very little pad left, about 2 or 3 mm thick, simply overheats.

thanks man i will go to midas and get me a set of ferodos. i am also going to find out if its tru that toyota hilux pads fit the front? 😀 8)

Expect to brake like a Hilux... 😉

I have never heard of pads causing a shudder, ever. The reason I ask is since I fitted my Z32 calipers I have a brake shudder. Now I just put it down to the fact that I might be braking on a new part of the disc.

The reason I have never heard of pads causing a shudder is because pads can wear in to suit the disc.

Anyone else got any views on this before I order my new discs??

Did you check the torque setting on the front wheel bearings? Loose/worn wheel bearings also cause shudder.

ps. got the t-shirt 😉

LOL im going to the spare shops and compare . i would think that the hilux pads are cheaper than the sx ones. will keep you posted

anyone compared the rear s13 to rear s14 pads?

how similar are they, because i dont find ferodo for the rears, and i dont like the pads i can find, although i cant remember the manufacturer name now!

My two cents you don't want any pads that "Bite" at the back, general pads should be good enough...

Pads that bite will give you the same feeling as pulling up the handbrake while approaching the apex... 😮 Not good

i've actually been using that as a new technique to initiate the drift!!!

approach the corner faster than normal, clutch in, brake hard, catch the rear as it swings around and then use the power to keep the rear out.

works nicely, but i still need to master it.

i was just hoping to find ferodo, instead of the crappy noisy pads i have in there currently. i think they are ATE or something! you need about half a tube of copper slip on the back of the pad to prevent the squeal!!!
