Remsa are quiet and good performance but very dusty.

Just a quick update on these, they had their second outing at Sandown on a 37 degree day on Sunday. Really happy with the hot bite and lack of fade (though had to do a lot of cool down laps because of oil temps so brakes got a rest too).

There's about 4-5mm left on the fronts after maybe 10000kms and two track days on a full weight GTT sedan.

Besides the crazy dust the only other thing I'd note is the somewhat vague feel when cold.

Still, recommended, especially at this price point.

Try Project Mu HC800 next time, it will blow your mind away and maybe your load too.

Those who rave about A1RM have never tried anything better. like a guy that's only owned a h0mosexual Honda Civic will say his car is the fastest thing alive.. till he or she hops into the likes of a Skyline and cream both their front side and back side openings.

Yeah I know, but ~$110 vs how much for Project Mu?

Had to post this here;

Brakes Direct/GSL Rallysport do an amazing job! I ordered my parts yesterday morning, and they arrived this morning. Overnight parts from QLD to ACT.

Ordered some new TRW GP600 Brake fluid 1L to do a flush. and some Remsa/Roadhouse pads for the front to match my already existing remsa rears.

All that's left is a new RR caliper as the one i have has a stripped fluid hole, and a lick of paint.

I'll be able to report back on how they go on a heavy stagea at the track in april.

Setup consists of; R33 gtst calipers - DBA 4000 T3 rotors F+R - Remsa/Roadhouse pads F+R - TRW GP600 fluid - Nismo braided lines front - APP braided lines rear

+1 for Brakes Direct/GSL. Ordered new Remsa fronts for $85 w/ free delivery on Tuesday night, received them on Thursday. Awesome.

Also as Trex and some others have pointed out they're currently supplying Roadhouse instead of Remsa. It's still the same pad, compound and part numbers.

Yeah, did a bit of research on this a little while ago :) Hmm I paid $10 more than you for my front pads :/

Yeah no idea why they are $95 at GSL and $85 at BrakesDirect, it's the same company?! Anyway, go cheapest :)

Screw Remsa, I got them on my GTT after hearing about them here. Never ever saw pads that spit that much dust in my life. Rims get absolutely coated with brake dust in a week. And the pads wear out quick. Cheap nasty shit, never again.

But you were warned that they are dusty lol. That's what everyone says. "they are great, but dusty" lol

haha this. I prefer to spend the extra 5mins each wash instead of paying $800 for new rotors.

So how did they actually perform on your car?

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
