Hey Guys,

Well my pads are getting near to the wear limits and Im looking to get some new ones. From what I have read on here they are the same as 350Z touring pads?

My question is what pads are people using and what are they using the car for? I my car is purely for the street but as I live in the Perth hills the brakes get a good beating

every now and then :P So obviously I dont want a pad thats too aggressive on the rotors or one that has a heat range suited for the track, but at the same time id like slightly increased performance over stock.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what pad I should use and where I may find them?

Cheers,

Brendan

Yep, M35 brakes are the same a Z33 (350z) touring.

I recommend QFM A1RM pads. Straight fit, no squeal. I have Nismo rims which would show up brake dust up in a second and the only dust I have on my wheels is from the dirt road I live on.

Cheap too, around $180 delivered for all 4 corners :)

Link? Sure, I got mine through GSL Rallysport or Jetpilot1986 on SAU.

Awesome! Sounds like those pads cover all the bases. They also seem to beat the Project Mu pads also listed on GSL Rallysport for frictional coefficient.

Thanks very much for the info, Ill send Jetpilot1986 a PM later today and order some :)

what are the pads like rda do?

I'm using RDA's in mine at the moment, nice cold bite, good fade resistance, but quite dusty. Even paying retail they're only $35 a set. Not unhappy, but next time I'll be going QFM; everyone raves about the A1RM's

Hi Brendan,

It really depends on which side of the compromise fence you sit. The A1RM is phenomenally good pad as the guys above have said (and is a Ferodo DS2500 type equivalent pad performance wise), and although it is 100% streetable, it will have slightly higher rotor wear than a normal street pad, which if that's not a drama, then they'll be the best pads you'll ever run on the street. The next pad down, the HPX is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent performance wise, but very low dust and rotor wear, and is generally enough for most people on the street, even with a bit of heavy duty work.

The A1RM to suit is $119 per axle set front or rear. The HPX is $79 per axle set front or rear. Shipping is free when you order front and rear pads together, or else $8 per axle set individually.

If you wanted to take a bet each way, A1RM front and HPX rear is quite a common combo we sell.

Regards,

Greg

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      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 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      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

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.
