any recommendations on a place where i can pick up Z parts in the GTA?

Zeetah · 01-05-2015, 10:12 PM

the only place ive found so far is whiteheadperformance, the brakes are starting to squeak, so im in need of new pads.

i have a base Z, which OEM pads are on the car now? i rather just stick with the OEM pads, but idk what theyre called.

no track use.

If you just want to stay with OE pads any good parts store should be able to get them.

Any Nissan dealership.

I've dealt with Whitehead and they're pretty good.

OEM just order it from a nissan dealership... the mark up isn't as bad as you think it may be.

I use rockauto.com, can't beat their prices. I'm pretty sure they carry akebono pads if you have the sport package.

edit: I just saw you have a base Z

ya my friend also said the price difference wouldnt be huge, but im just curious as to how much of a difference if at all there would be. thanks guys, ill give the dealership and the 2 other places stated a ring and see whats up.

just called nissan, front pair pads $102, rear $107 OEM pads.
whiteheadperformance, hawk pc ceramic front $104.16, rear $95.83.
any suggestions on the 2? and i have read older threads on pads but they were from a couple years ago

newb question, i know, but i have to ask, when changing pads, should all 4 be changed at the same time, or just the rear or fronts? im not sure if the squeaking is coming from the front or rear, where does it generally wear out first for rwd cars, front or rear?

maybe someone else can shed light but i would think not. if your fronts are at 20% and rear at 50% some would but i personally would swap the fronts and then look at getting the rears done at the next oil change or something.

You don't need to change both front and rear at the same time. If your rear isn't worn out yet, just change the front.

I have oem front pads used if your interested I can sell them for $60 shipped.
My Z is a weekend car and driven only on highways so pads are still very good.

Pm me and where is your location zip?

its cool.
i bought the new ones, ill just replace all 4, this way i dont have to pay for labour twice. the wear between the front and back cant be that huge in difference, so ill just do it all at once to save the hassle n time . thanks guys
