Duncan, you don't get fade with ultimates on the track?

nope....the stock gtst brakes are excellent :D ultimates, good fluid, dba4000 series rotors.

I did run semi slicks a fair bit which definately reduces the stress on the brakes, but even when on road tyres they were OK

I use the same as Duncan with no dramas at all. My engine oil gets hot way before my brakes have a chance to fade.

I just used a set of NIZMOs on the front of my R33GTST for the Queensland raceway track day, Braking performance about same as Bendex Ultimates - but they last heaps longer and not as much dust. I've never had fade with either pad. I had a set of Ultimates as spares but I did not use them.

Bendix ultimates for 3 to 5 lap sprints. For 20 minutes races you need Hawk carbotics, I prefer the Blue (9012) compound for cars that go around corners as well as they go in a straight line. For cars that don't go around corners very well, in comparison to their straight line speed, then you may want to use HT15's. That compound has a higher intial bite and tolerates the high temperatures caused by the necessarily heavy braking.

The alternative is Performance Friction Carbon Metallic, in the 01 compound.

Hope that helps:cheers:

What are they like on the rotors SK?

Ultimates are very gentle, Blues are not too bad, PFCM leave a residue that needs to be removed regularly. But they do stop, the co efficient of friction is very high and it stays that way over high temperatures.:D

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
