You Asked, We Delivered: NEW OE-LEVEL PROTEX CALIPERS & BOOSTERS

Responding directly to customer demand, Protex has expanded its range with two new twin-piston calipers for the Nissan Patrol Y61 TB48DE (2001-on), engineered to OE-level quality for workshops and drivers who expect nothing but the best. Every Protex caliper is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance straight out of the box. Each unit undergoes rigorous pressure, performance, and durability testing, giving drivers complete confidence in their braking system — even under the toughest conditions.

Boosting Braking Performance

Joining the range this month are six new brake boosters. Compact but critical, a brake booster multiplies pedal force to deliver smooth, effortless braking — making every stop safe and controlled.

Many popular vehicles, including the HiLux, Fortuner, Colorado, Triton, and Navara, are now 8–10 years old. These vehicles are often used for towing, carrying heavy loads, or frequent stop-start driving, making it the ideal time to check booster performance and replace worn units before they compromise safety.

As with all Protex products, each booster is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance straight out of the box. Rigorous testing guarantees workshops and drivers can trust their braking system — even under the toughest conditions.

Brakes Are Non-Negotiable

When it comes to vehicle safety, every stop counts. Calipers and boosters are critical components in delivering smooth, secure braking, and Protex is a trusted name in the automotive aftermarket for good reason. With a reputation built on high-quality, reliable brake parts, Protex continues to set the standard for performance, durability, and value — and these latest additions are no exception.

Improvements to DELIVERIES FOR YOUR BUSINESS

We are continuously reviewing how we can improve your ordering experience.

We are pleased to announce a new order type that is now available to you on AAD Online: D2C (Direct-toCustomer (You)). Replacing the EMO order type, D2C orders will consolidate your items into fewer deliveries and help you keep your business running smoothly. The D2C option provides you with the following benefits:

• REDUCED SHIPPING COSTS

Orders are consolidated into fewer boxes, lowering freight charges

• STREAMLINED PAPERWORK

Sales order numbers on picking slips now align with your emailed invoices

• IMPROVED DELIVERY PROTECTION

Additional checks and protective packaging reduce the risk of damage.

We have heard your feedback around challenges with paperwork, order consolidation, and shipping costs. The introduction of D2C orders is the latest step that we have taken to address these obstacles and support you and your business. We are committed to making it easier for you to shop with us and keeping your business moving forward.

D2C orders are available now for all orders shipping from DCV. Simply select the D2C option when ordering via AAD Online.

Roadsafe 4WD

MAKES A BIG IMPACT AT MELBOURNE NATIONAL OUTDOORS 4X4 SHOW

From 22-24 August, the Roadsafe team joined Direction Plus, Raceworks, and Blackhawk in launching their engaging stand at the Melbourne National Outdoors 4x4 Show.

Bold lifestyle imagery, purpose-built displays, and two fully equipped 4WDs set the stage for a hands-on experience with our proven range of components, including control arms, tow points, adjustable panhard rods, battery trays, and underbody protection plates. Visitors explored, tested, and asked questions, gaining firsthand insight into how Roadsafe products enhance safety, drivability, and off-road capability. Tow points and adjustable panhard rods demonstrated precision engineering and smoother ride quality, while battery trays and underbody protection plates highlighted strength and reliability built for Australia’s harshest conditions.

The stand also featured premium partner brands - Direction Plus, Raceworks, Blackhawk, and Protex brake pads - offering a complete view of 4WD performance solutions. More than just a display, it was a space where enthusiasts connected, shared stories, and experienced the Roadsafe difference.

Our Melbourne debut reinforced Roadsafe’s commitment to innovation, quality, and community - cementing our place as a trusted leader in the off-road industry.

We look forward to welcoming you at Roadsafe’s next 4WD stand for even more innovation and adventure.
