B13 brake pads

CarlF · 09-13-2007, 10:12 PM

What do y'all use for autocross pads for your older SE-Rs? I've called around a bit and no one seems to make pads for the B13. Performance Friction makes a Carbon Metallic for the front, but I need rears too.

One exception I know of is Carbotech with their Bobcat pads, but I've got a friend who used to work there and now hates their guts, so respecting that I choose to also shop elsewhere.

Any suggestions? Brand/model and also seller recommendations appreciated!

Thanks,
Carl

Auto crossing is less than a minute. Just get some good ones (some that cost more than 10 bucks) and you'll be ok. Tires are more important.

Hawk HP+ if they make them for the B13...

Just get some Nissan ones for now and Matt will have the Nissan application figured out soon I'm sure.

BTW - Matt is on this board and most of us old timers know the story of what happened with (the company whose name cannot be spoken).

I've got a set of brand new Nissan SE-R pads if you want(fronts). I will sell them to you for what I got them for if you'd like... or make an offer bro. I don't need them anymore.

I used Porterfield R4Ses when I autocrossed some years ago, and those are pads that worked well for track events, autocrossing, etc. and that you can leave on all the time. I can't see you need new rear pads for autocrossing - they aren't too busy back there.

The pad for a B13 SE-R is a 509 pad, which number refers to the size and shape of the backing plate and pad. I believe mid-90s Diamond Star cars used this pad, too.

The DSM pad (484) is very close to the NX pad (549), not the 509.
