Okay.

Well I have been talking with Steve and am getting ready to go ahead and purchase this kit.

Just checking to see if there are any updates from current users? Are they still running as strong as you would like? Still recommend them to people for track use?

Padey,

yes the standard G4 pads are 54mm radial depth, the pads i was running were AP ferodo DS 3000 compound which i got cheap :-) from a bloke selling left overs from the BTCC and they were only 46mm radial depth. Just thought i would try a known compound against the G4 track pad without spend 500$ for 54mm DS 3000 pads to suit the G4 caliper.

Bit quick with the get what you pay for

Ok pic with the 54mm radial depth pads on, G4 track pads. Sorry pic is not to clear have problem taking camera out from AC to 40 odd degrees and to cranky to wait :-)

Very short clip of car last friday night under light in Dubai.

Shows the car just entering a coner from the main straight, so braking from 240kph to about 90kph so some very hot rotors.

Been 9 months now and still going ok

I used a single set of race pads through targa tasmania, a race meet and 2 track days, and they have about 2/3 material left. no issues with the calipers discs or rotors.

I've now put them on my road car (stagea) with street pads and they are still excellent.

I understand people's concern when they are so cheap compared to some other brands - but they are simply good and cheap :banana:

FWIW, JustJap are now selling these for $2000 (330mm kit).

What should i ask for when buying pads for these? Do I just say I need pads for an AP caliper or do i need to be more specific than that?

just buy the pads from just jap, cheaper really than the AP stuff and they work well both street and track options they stock both and the kit shoul come with a set of pads

Which ones are you running on the track? There appears to be Street, Sport and Race options, and i have the Street pads. Since pads are easy to change i was going to try a set of QFM A1RMs from track then swap them back to the kit pads for street use.

I use just the track option which i assume is the race option you refer too. My car is a track hack only so no road experience, although i would dare say they would be ok on the road not to much noise but not good on brake dust. They will stop you from cold without to much worry. There was some issues in using other pads be careful that the pad doesnt sit higher than the outside of the rotor as they did crack some rotors on targa using none G4 pads for some reason.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
