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.

GSl Rallysport - Qfm Pads

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

GSL have special pricing for SAU users, check em out in the traders section.

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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
