the most progressive pad you will find is pagid. perfect package for gtst would be pagid black front and pagid orange rear, but you need to allow almost 1k for pads alone, plus install some ducting to the front.

hawk come on too hard and too quick and will result in you flat spotting tyres if pushing hard without abs until you get the hang of them. they will give you a good 15 laps at symmons on standard rotors though, and after that the front rotors run out of heat range and you'll boil fluid.

any ceramic compound would be good at the track in a skyline with standard brakes thanks to the small rotor size and you'll get them upto temp quick... but last thing you'd want for a hillclimb as they will struggle to work on the first hair pin at collinsvale... i left some ebc yellow ceramics in the gtr the last time i ran it there and they were terrible at both hair pins, even when i blocked up the ducting as they just werent warm enough.

for a cheap option if you didn't do more than four laps of symmons or seven of basky is bendix ulitmate... cheap too and available everywhere. they'll put up with runing that number of laps around 62sec laps with ducting into the rotor veins (ditch the backing plate).

bms sell pagid, ferrodo, endless, project mu and hawk... but the trick is finding the right pad for the car, the driver, the brake package and purpose the car is being used for.

well i am going to start with the cheaper Hawk pads, as mainly they cater to my needs best. i only need somthing that will last 4 laps. club days for now but can also worm up quick for drifting. thus ive been advised the Hawks. ive never heard a good thing about EBC except from the people that sell them.

PM me a price on some pads stu.

ebc aren't terrible, but you need to pick the right pad for the car... i've seen red and yellow completely melt one car, but work awesome on another.

will check pricing damo... there are obviously different compounds to reduce the bite but still work well. what weight is your car and how much power?

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
