I got sent SR instead of SS pads for the front of my Subaru, they bite very well (sometimes a bit too hard when they warm up, for smooth easy braking) and the brakes are strong. Too much for a daily driver though IMO. Not surprised they work well on the track. The A1RMs on my GT-R however, are most likely glazed over and are rubbish now (after a couple of track days/years).

I don't know why everyone raves about QFMs.. I once thought they were good too.. till I nearly DIED!

Anyhow, if anyone needs Intima Pads SS/SR/Type-D hit me up - will take care of SAU boys and their friends!

What do you have to fit the 8 pot ATTKD calipers for track only use?

I'll check with the manufacturer, because I don't have a listing for those :)

Do you know what other caliper uses the same pads (for reference)?

They take pads for the AP racing 6 spot calipers, common motorsport size with lots of options but I don't have a part#

awesome thanks Duncan!

I'll find drawings tomorrow for them and see if they're a goer!

Sorry for the late reply - as per Duncan's reply they use AP Racing pads. I don't have any part numbers either. Don't need pads just yet but no doubt we will later this year.

I put Pagid pads from RaceBrakes in mine but sorry don't have the numbers.

Got details back from the supplier, unfortunately the Australian stock is just the standard Intima SR, which are 0 to 700 degrees...

but..... if there's enough demand, we can ask them to order them in the Type-D range, which are 250 ~ 850 degrees - however they're made to order.

Ok peeps, I've been running Remsa (sometimes labelled Roadhouse) pads for a while now, generally ok except very very dusty. They're rated 650C.

Thing is, I kinda killed them at Sandown last Sunday, fully glazed over after 3 sessions ( http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/463353-post-track-day-qs-rotor-wear-gearbox-oil-ps-pump-manifold-nuts/?do=findComment&comment=7763092 )

I'm now thinking of upgrading to something like Intima SR or Type D ( as per http://www.trak-life.com/intima-brake-pads-review-sr-type-d/ ) – not entirely convinced though as I had a bad experience with Intima SS back in the day; they completely melted on a mountain run.

Another option is Brakes Direct's Forza line: http://brakesdirect.com.au/forza - maybe FP3, FR4 or FR5.

I'm still after something that is somewhat streetable i.e. with a low-ish C rating at the bottom of the temp range. Any recommendations?

EDIT: Also anyone know who might be able to supply cooling duct brackets to suit the R34 front hubs, to channel air into the inside centre of the disc to feed the veins? The OEM heat shields have been cut off.

Intima SS pads are 0 to 400 degrees though, so yeah not really a good pad to use on a Mountain run..
Intima SR pads are 0 to 700 degrees.. so more suited for your street sprints, mountains, track work etc.
Intima Type-D pads are 250 to 850 degrees... a little shit on the road when cold, but they sure pull up once there's heat.

Happy to help you guys out, will throw in free shipping if you order 2x sets of pads and bank deposit instead of GheyPal.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
