u13 attesa twin piston brake pads bendix part number

[noss]

i dont know if this has been mentioned or not, but i had to find these brake pads last weekend, a lot of people say they're maxima pads but they have to be modified.. they are in fact maxima pads, but they dont need to be modified.. for anyone that is after these pads, the bendix advance part number is DB1308

cheers

[phreeky]

not so true........two different maxima pads are commonly used, one a slightly smaller pad that goes straight in (which you've used), and another that has a bigger surface area but needs a couple of tiny bits grinded off.

[Marty]

I used EBC pads part number DP1082, are a tiny bit too big but managed to wedge them in fine , been going strong for 6 months now

[Bullion]

Do these fit on aussie spec U13's?

[phreeky]

the caliper, or the pad into the aussie-spec caliper?

no idea on the pad itself, but the caliper SHOULD bolt on no problem (however dunno what the deal is with the disc)

do the calipers bolt to the car via 19mm or 17mm headed bolts? not that it's any certainty, but i've found that all the nissans with 19mm have interchangable calipers, and same with all those with 17mm. so if it's 19mm and the import u13 calipers bolt on, that means that z32/r32/s14 etc ones will also (but they give HEAPS less wheel clearance, so can be a big issue).

[Budgie]

17mm Phreeky.  Same as the U12's.

I'm actually surprised the pulsar guys have not cottened onto using U12 brakes on their under-braked N13's and N14's...

[Bullion]

Basically I want to upgrade the brakes. So if they're 17mm will the pad and caliper fit? or just the pad?

[noss]

ok, to explain a little, the local brakes are single piston calipers, the import brakes are twin piston. the discs are the same size as far as i'm aware.

the pads are not interchangeable between the two different types of calipers, they are physically different sizes, the twin piston pads are about 25mm longer from memory.

so to use the pads that myself an kotter mentioned, you need to have the twin piston calipers.. it is impossible to use these pads on the local models calipers.

i'd assume the import calipers would be a direct bolt on upgrade, they were a direct bolt on upgrade for my pintara.

[phreeky]

oh ok cool, so my theory goes out the window

[Alister]

ok, to explain a little, the local brakes are single piston calipers, the import brakes are twin piston. the discs are the same size as far as i'm aware.

Bit of a late reply but yep, the front discs on the AUS U13 are the same size as the JAP U13 (280mm).
So yeah, it should be a direct bolt on upgrade, i'm trying to source some at the moment.

Yes Bendix 1308 pads are the correct ones for the U13 Attesa 4 pot calipers.  However, do not buy the standard non bedding in pads with the teflon they just dont bite, get the bendix ones you have to bed in

[Marty]

ok I've been looking at getting new pads recently as the track day has basically killed my current ones

Direct replacement parts so far are:

bendix        DB1308                            (nissan maxima A32 3L 94 -00)
ebc            DP1046    151 x 49 x 17
ferodo        FDB1434  151 x 48.8 x 17  (nissan maxima 3.0L 89-91)
Lucas TRW GDB3124  151 x 51 x 17
endless      EP298       151 x 48.5 x 17  (listed under R33 non turbo)

and the slightly bigger ones are these:
ebc DP1082,  151 x 53 x 17
ebc DP21082  Green Stuff Pads

anyone got anymore?

[phreeky]

go the slightly bigger, throw in a bench vice and attack with an angle grinder (take old one out first for comparison), i did it in 15min and i'm no pro with an angle grinder

[Marty]

I've already got the bigger ones installed
didnt even hack away at them, just wedged in fine

Theres just no performance pads for our car though, all the ones listed are just standard ones.

[phreeky]

some brake pad places will put any compound on for you, just supply them with old pads so they can reuse the old backing plates

[bluesr20]

Is it true that the rear brakes are exactly the same as the Aussie U13?

[Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing]

Having had a lx and now having a attesa id have to say there the same. They look exatcly the same but i cant tell you if there exatcly the same but my guess is yes they are the same.

[phreeky]

yep the same

[Marty]

got an email back from racebrakes

WE HAVE NO LISTING ON ATTESA PADS WE CAN DO THE PAD SHAPE DP1082 IN RB74
MATERIAL IT TAKES APROX. 8 WEEKS TO DO 1 SET  OF SPECIALS IF WE HAD YOUR PAD
WE MAY BE ABLE TO CUT A PAD OUT OF SOMETHING ELSE BEST TO CALL US ASK FOR
HOWARD

loves the capslock

8 weeks though, hmmm

[bluesr20]

Hey Marty, did they mention anything about cost?

[Marty]

nuh he didnt say, I emailed him again then he yelled at me again with the caps and said its best to call them,
little does he know by the time i get home and call him it'll be 7pm his time, bloody easterners

Everyone else Ive spoke to regarding EBC green stuff pads, these seem to  be the only performance ones we have, said its a 2 week wait as they have to be shipped from UK,
So it looks like I'm gonna get  EBC blacks (which are in stock) and order the greens for track use.

[Budgie]

EBC greens are awesome marty

[Marty]

OK I've finally finished scouring the net for more pads,
Found out endless do a set listed under the non-turbo c34 laurel and all the c35's. plus R33 non-turbos Skylines

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Performance/Other/auction-31275734.htm
$40 Aus, bargain, pity they arent listed anymore

edit
Just bought ebc blacks for  $210, Wont get the greens for a week though as they are being shipped from UK.

also note that lucas do a cheap pad for our cars too
GD3124 - $95
GDB3065M - $50

grrr If the dick head at the shop had of told me earlier I wouldnt have bought the blacks.

[awd 2.0t]

Just on the rear pads, when mine were replaced they matched them to the Maxima pads as they said the local ones didn't fit.  Not sure of the part number but made by Lucas.

I know this is kinda an old thread I'm bringing up here but has anyone found out where to get some high quality track use pade for the u13 Attesa's twin piston front calipers?

[phreeky]

i was told by a few people i'd have to send old backing plates away to get new material put on, and would take a few weeks.

i've just got bendix advance on at the moment, i used them at the sprints once (tight track, also used for go karting, only get a touch over 100km/h) - first time out i was braking a bit too much and i managed to get some smoke off them, after that though had no problems, they'd be way more than capable for road use.

what sort of track work you looking at?

p.s. put fresh fluid in!

[Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing]

Track = Wakefield Park, which is quiet hard on the breaks apparently. Thats why I want track pads rather than street pads. I cant realy send my backing platesaway because I need pads for the street aswell.

[Craazy]

contact endless: http://www.centraxauto.com.au/default2.htm

they do them for the U12 so id guess the U13 aswell

[Marty]

Just to let people know, it took 2 months for my green stuff pads to come in, I actually completely forgot I ordered them til the guy rang and said they were in, they had to be sent from the UK.
I'll let you guys know how they are once I get my car back from the mechanics

[LUP15]

endless make a u13 specific pad. ep298 from memory. ive got both endless front and rear SSS compound pads

[LUP15]

bringing this back up from the dead.

I've been using so far ENDLESS EP298 in the SSS compound which have been very good (on the street however). As I've been getting these from japan, have been looking for something more local

I had ordered some EBC front and rear pads. I ordered N/A R33 pads, but got totally different ones (for some reason they have diff pads listed for the same car).

as mentioned above the correct part no. is DP1046 but this seems to only be avail in blackstuff.

I'll update once I find alternatives.

I've already got the bigger ones installed
didnt even hack away at them, just wedged in fine

Theres just no performance pads for our car though, all the ones listed are just standard ones.

Marty did you just put the larger DP21082 pads straight in without grinding them? did this leave overhang of the pad?

[Marty]

originally I just wedged them in, but then got my hands on a grinder and did it the proper way.
they didn't need a lot of grinding, like a few mm.
