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.

    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming. 
    • She's looking good Greg. Colour suits it perfectly 👍
    • I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times
