I was looking into the Ferodo Formula (AS2000) brake bads and was wondering if anyone had used em before? From what Ferodo say there great for street driving aswell as sprint days at the track an club sport events. They say 650degrees max temp.

I know everyone loves the 2500 series Ferodo pads, but has anyone used the 2000 series (formula)?

Price on 2500 is around $250 from most places, I can get the formula series pads for $140 so I was going to give them a go an was wondering if antone else had tried em?

No I dont want RB74's or Bendix Ultimates

cheers

well one of the reasons I was shyin away from the Bendix Ultimates is due to there reputation for silly amounts of brake dust, I hate cleaning my BBS mesh mags, pain in the arse!

I intend on using the car for track days, so the performance of the pad is important too, but not sure i'd pay the extra $110 to get 2500 series if the 2000 pads perform around the same.

Do not use 2000 series on the track they do not cut it.

Get the 2500.

It would be unwise to skimp on brake pads at the track, It will cost you a lot more than the $110 difference in repair bills when you hit a tyre barrier due to brake fade.

email them for a price.

yeah I checked em out, it'd cost me $253.81 to get Ferodo DS2500 pads landed to me from the US.

but I can get em from Unique Auto Sports for $245 an probably $10 freight...so that way would be easier for virtually no cost difference.

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
