    i think aus started in 90 and mines an 89, guessing would be no different to 90 though.

    LOl at above!!!

    M8, I use plain old Bendix "Everyday" pads. They are extremely kind to the disks and dont throw black dust everywhere.
    I woudnt go to the track with them and expect too many hard braking episodes but for the street, they work very well.
    Nice easy pedal feel with good initial bite but seem to resist locking up as you pedal it harder.
    Its just they seem to bite slightly less as the pedal pressure get real high. Sounds strange but in reality makes them very easy to drive and resist lockups when you get busy!
    The work more or less the same hot or cold and stand up to several repeated hard braking efforts from a decent speed.

    For a road car, cant go wrong for the price.

    yup they use the same pads for all model years 1989 -2000, NA and TT.

    any decent auto store should have them in stock or be able to order them, they are the same pad size as a few other nissans as well, so good for a parts store to stock....

    ***1170 is the pad shape i think ......the first letters will be brand specific normally.....and the numbers are the pad shape......double check the number of course but "i think" thats right

    just go to any auto shop.

    ask for pads for a 1990 300ZX and they'll find the right ones based on that.
