The R33 and R34 Skyline GT-R models with the RB26DETT are powerful, heavy, and demand serious braking performance when pushed on track or during aggressive driving. The EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Front Brake Pads (DP81032RPX) are an ultra-high performance compound developed specifically for dedicated track and race applications. With a strong, stable friction coefficient of 0.55 mu that remains consistent up to and beyond 850°C, these pads provide powerful, fade-resistant stopping power even under the most demanding conditions.
RP-X delivers high friction right from cold, eliminating the need for warmup laps and making it ideal for sprint races, hill climbs, or short track sessions. Compared to EBC’s RP-1, RP-X offers a 25% higher friction level with a much more positive initial bite, making it better suited for heavier or under-servoed vehicles like the R33 and R34 GT-R. While it produces higher brake dust and noise than milder compounds, this is the expected trade-off for peak on-track performance and maximum braking effect.
At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply these genuine EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Front Brake Pads as a premium upgrade for R33 and R34 GTR owners who prioritize outright track performance. They transform the front braking system into a highly responsive, heat-resistant setup capable of handling repeated hard stops at high speeds while supporting serious track and competition use. For enthusiasts building a dedicated track weapon or race-prepared Skyline GT-R, these RP-X pads are one of the most aggressive and capable brake upgrades available.
