The R33 Skyline GTS25T with the RB25DET turbo engine delivers strong mid-range torque and responsive handling, but its factory rear brake pads are tuned for comfort and quickly lose effectiveness when heat builds during spirited driving or track sessions. The EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Rear Brake Pads (DP8826RPX) are an ultra-aggressive compound engineered specifically for dedicated track and race applications. With a strong, stable friction coefficient of 0.55 mu that performs consistently up to and beyond 850°C, these pads deliver powerful, fade-resistant stopping power and a very positive initial bite, making them ideal for the demands of serious track days, sprint racing, or aggressive road driving.
RP-X provides high friction right from cold, requiring no warmup period for full braking effect. Compared to EBC’s RP-1, RP-X offers a 25% higher friction level with a much more aggressive bite, making it well-suited for the R33 GTS25T’s turbocharged character. While it produces higher brake dust and noise than milder compounds, this is the expected trade-off for maximum on-track performance and immediate response. The pads maintain strong modulation and deliver reliable, heat-resistant braking even under the most demanding conditions.
At Terra Firma Automotive, we supply these genuine EBC Racing RP-X Track and Race Rear Brake Pads as a premium upgrade for R33 GTS25T owners who prioritize outright track performance. They transform the rear 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 high-performance street R33 GTS25T, these RP-X pads are one of the most aggressive and capable brake upgrades available.
