Hey; After two years it's time to replace the brake pads;

I've been in contact with Queensland friction materials they just want to know what type of calipers i have; to which i replied I think they are standard Sumitomo's; to which they replied Yeah but what type?

No frackin idea.

Here's a picture.

Love the sarcasm/cynasism lol

Well the guy i've been talking to is quite knowledgeable about this sort of thing; i'm obviously not.

And there's actually a very good report on these very forums with these QFM Brake pads for street use

When you look at it from his point of view; I know there are many weird upgrades for certain models- Some of the skylines have Brembo brake calipers !!??

The numbers he gave me were showed he thinks they are either DB1170 or DB1220

I've checked my R34 manual; as usual it is completely useless except for showing how to top up the washer fluids.

You don't need to take te pads out it is common knowledge what pads they use, obviously old mate at Qfmdoesn't know skylines

If you tell Greg at Gsl you need pads for r34 gtt he will know what pads you need, I should know as I've bought pads off him for my r34 gtt last year and for my r32 before that

Thanks guys, and yep we can do both QFM and Remsa (and 12 other brands of pads), and carry heaps in stock ot sit GTT.

Your problem in dealding direct with QFM is that they're a manufacturer, not a distributor, so they don't have the real world experience of knowing what's what. They know part number and how to make them, and limited vehicle specific knowledge. For this reason most of their performance pad inquiries just get forwarded straight to us to answer.
