Does anyone know if there is a better price for the DS2500 pads for a 32 GTR nissan calliper? I have seen them for $296 (f) and $260 ®.

Is there anyone that can do better?

Are you specifically after the DS2500? There's ALOT better pads out there for the money. EBC, QFM, TRW Lucas for starters...

Can you be a little more specific on which pad from these companies? When i was researching pads many said that the EBC reds (which are pitched at about the same level as the 2500s) were an inferior pad at about the same price.

ds2500 used to be a good bang for your buck pad, the price seems to have increased recently from ~250 to closer to 300. You may as well order some project mu HC+ 0-800 pads from nengun for 225 these days if you don't need them straight away. The price of these has come down a lot lately.

Sounded like a bargain, until...

NB: A1RM is not suitable for street use!

So maybe they're more like DS3000s (at 780 degrees, they probably are) in which case they are still a bargain track pad, as DS3000s are $350+!

Who sells the QFM A1RM?

BTW tried the much hyped DS2500 once myself, not as good as Ultimates as far as taking punishment goes. Big dollar ripoffs.

That's what I can't understand... At about 600 degrees, they're no better than TRW Lucas or Green Stuff, and ON PAPER only marginally better than Ultimates or QFM HPX... Yet people seem to think they have to spend big money on pads. I find it funny that most people who rate DS2500 (or even to a lesser degrees, Ultimates), can't even tell you what brake fluid they're running, which is always the weakest link first...

The only pads I've run in my Z, aside from stock, are DS2500s and now Endless CC-X. I've found the DS2500s to be excellent, and at their temperature limits far better than the CC-X pads.

I know people who've done track work on the DS2500s and EBC pads in their Silvias, and hate the latter.

FWIW, I use Motul RBF600. :)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
