they are not a good pad for street.... also they chew rotors too much for street

better to go something like EBC red if want street pads

Yup qfm spokesperson validated why my rotors disappeared in 15,000km of street driving with a1rm.

They chew a lot when cold.

He said the qfm hpx are the best street pad from their range.

Been using them ever since and no issues.

I killed a set of A1RM's at calder in one day...never again.

(and remember I'm traveling slower than most here and with a lighter car.)

were great at deca tho.

I'm trying a few new ones now the ones I were using no longer in AU.

so I want to drain the fuel on the 200 as it will have been sitting for 6+ months b4 next track day.

I'm thinking easiest way is to pull the outlet hose off the fuel filter, put some fuel line on that into a jerry can and just turn on the ignition.

need to change fuel filter as well so seems like a good time for it.

any-one have a better way.

Really good article... Note for once it concentrated on actual issues and solutions instead of "Speed kills", "More Cameras are needed to save lives!", "HOON!"

I think I've got a night there too, will post results. All I've heard is it's expensive but very clean

if going to salzberg

and you drink beer

I just use the return line off the rail and idle till done.

done it heaps of times

The CP5070D54 sized pads fit. Most manufactures make these.

You can get them in DS2500/3000, HC800/Club Racer, Blue (DP5006)/Orange (DP9006) Stuff.

I really liked the project-mu, but it was costing too much. So used the Blue, then went to the Orange when I stopped driving it on the road.

Yep, I was told the "pads for k-sport/d2" should fit but you may need to modify/grind the pad a bit to fit, which meant it didn't fit. Either that or buy the actual pads from the JJ site.

So will these fit without modifications?

Also Simon, the green pads that come with them are baaaaad. I mean they're good for street, and by 'good for street' I actually mean I had a fair amount of brake fade in the hills with a 356mm set vs the standard brakes which had none.

hence the research into pads

:/ We'll see how it goes I guess. due to the fact I won't be able to just pop down to repco/sca to pick up pads anymore, I'll always have a spare set on hand... so will have time to experiment and see what fits and what doesn't...

Won't be tracking it for a bit, getting these brakes killed my car budget for a while... But when I do I'll be running great pads on the track, and swapping them out for street pads when I get home and take off my track tyres.

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
