I just fitted QFM pads to my S2 mate, and they are pretty good. They have stagea specific pads on the shelf, and they are reasonably priced too.

Dixcel rotors seem to be a good direct fit option. Jap import spares in adelaide sell them

hi guys

im looking for part numbers for pads and rotors (preferably slotted) all round for my 99 rs4s direct replacement no stuffin about with machining or whateva

thanks guys

Hi mate,

As Big Fella said, we have S2 Stagea pads on the shelf. If it's just for performance street use, then the pads that we would recommend would be the QFM HPX, which are a Bendix Ultimate or EBC Green stuff equivalent performance wise, and low dust and rotor wear.

Part Numbers and prices:

Front - GSL009HPX $119

Rear - GSL010HPX $79

Anyone doing track work, then best to step up to the A1RM, which is a Ferodo DS2500 or Project Mu HC+ equivalent.

Part Numbers and prices:

Front - GSL009A1RM $179

Rear - GSL010A1RM $179

Regards,

Greg

hey thanks for the info there

regarding the dixcel rotors the guy has standard non slotted in stock for $240 pair if you want slotted have to wait 2 months $400 but if u dont want to wait they can air freight them to you at a cost $500 just for freight so i decided to machine the 1's i have atm put new pads and i'll try and get the guy from jap import spares to get a few sets of slotted in for down the track

cool as mate. my front and rear rotors still had plenty of meat on them so i just had them machined.

I'd love to go to slotted rotors, but i don't think it's necessary for the family wagon.

My current set up stops well, and doesn't really get that hot. Slotted rotors normally wear the disc more, plus machining can be a pain in the a**

Cheapest prices- Bendix fronts DB1250CT $106, Ferrodo rears DB1144TA $54

Actually, one thing I should note, remember that both the HPX and A1RM are performance pads. They would be the equivalent to a Bendix Ultimate or Bendix SRT respectively, just keep that in mind if anyone is comparing prices on pads floating around.

As far as just standard, run of the mill street pads go (so equivalent to Bendix GCT), we can do:

S2 rears in QFM Super X for $79

S1 Fronts in Japanese made Nisshinbo for $95

S1 Rear in Japanese made Acre for $75

Series 2 fronts are still in HPX or A1RM only.

      Red Line 75W90NS in rear diff R34 GTT

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Hi everyone, I bought the Redline diff oil and the seller has sent me Redline 75W90NS even though that’s not what’s pictured.  I’ve already booked a hoist to go and change my diff tomorrow but I’m not sure if the NS is ok for the rear diff in a R34 GTT I think the NS does not have any slip modifiers so would that be an issue?    thanks in advance

      M35 Stagea intake suction pipe

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not easy to find pics from 15 years ago, but here is a partial one. Keep in mind that it curved immediately from the airbox, then kept a straight line for the MAF to read correctly, followed by a 45 degree bend straight down to the turbo. This connection was the most difficult as it had to twist as well as bend to meet the almost vertical straight section of the intake.

      Yes, well, wrt a wheel alignment, there are two types. Either: You have very little added adjustables, in which case the alignment can be done by anyone in any tyre shop or equivalent, and will only take 30 minutes, and so there is no reason to even consider leaving the car there. OR: The alignment is a major exercise because you have adjustables everywhere and so you will need to be taking it to a shop that is skilled and experienced at setting up race cars and the like, and you won't need to worry about leaving the car there.

      R35 GTR servo and master cylinder conversion

      By burn4005 · Posted

      does anyone know the specs of the R35 master cylinder, rear ratio and knee point? the BM57 is a 0.4 rear ratio with a 435psi knee. I'm looking for someone with a much lower knee pressure. the piston area of the R35 brakes isnt that big so might not work for me but this is interesting.. the other option for me is a GU patrol master cylinder and booster and do the prop valve externally.

      It sounds like by avoiding maintenance you may be doing more damage than a hypothetical guy in a workshop taking it for a spin. Not sure if you are just being paranoid or things are actually that bad in the US. Find a reputable shop not run by dickheads. Look for people that take pride in their work. Stick around for the day if you have to
