Using caltex "response" super dot 4, and bendix pads on front standard on rear with v8 cailpers & disc's up front. Once the brakes get hot they're crap !

stop using ****e pads and fluid!! it will work fine with the right parts... slightly bigger brakes and std ****ty pads will fade too, it will just take more effort to do so.

I use Ferodo pads on factory V8 brakes and they work very well. The pads were pretty expensive from memory, but it's worth doing

Recommendations on fluid and pad brands? I've upgraded to VY twin potters and slotted disks. When my car eventually gets going I'm gonna need some new pads (just got old second hand ones in there at the mo!).

It is an RB30ET? (not factory of course) And he's done that thing with the nosecone, there was a thread on here somewhere about it a while ago (someone photo shopped a yellow/silver berlina to kind of look like a silvia) and there was a lot of reasons not to do it, lol.

ELF HTX115 fluid and ferodo DS2500 pads ot EBC ceramic red stuff pads. make sure your rotors are machined before you fit the new pads and that they arent getting near the minimum thickness...
