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.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
