+1 for Remsa's and +11ty billion for GLS Rallysport.

Remsas are a great pad, no squealing or poor low temp response; and when they're warm; wow!

They are dusty, but I'd rather have brakes that work; than wheels that stay clean on a car that doesn't stop.

Brake dust washes off anyway.

On my R34 GTT 4dr, ive tried Remsa, Intima SR and QFM A1.

All installed by myself using normal cleaning and run in techniques.

All running on DBA T3 clubspec rotors.

QFM a1 out performed the other two considerably on street and light track.

Hey guys, I'm confused now haha lol, can I please get some help.

I have a R34 GTT with 220rwkw, standard weight, gets driven harshly on the street (EDIT: Before you think I'm a hoon, I mean this as alot of stops and alot of them are kind of sudden) and a odd track day, standard rotors.

I'm due for front and rear pads, what do you guys recommend I go for? and I absolutely hate brake dust, the car is white with white wheels haha.

I was going to go for Bendix ultimates because I can get them for $130 a pair but after reading here I've seen that they produce heaps of brake dust, but at the beginning I was set on EBC greenstuff but due to the price, availability and the feedback here I have been turned off them.

Are Ferodo's really good? I've always looked at them as a cheap crappy pad.

Any help is greatly appreciated, at the moment I have some kind of blue pads (came on the car from Japan) and they are spongy as. thanks.

I'll be trying the Type M from Dixcel next time I'm due for a pad change. While I like the Remsa's street performance, they are too dusty for my liking...

So should I just go with the Bendix Ultimate then, because if I do go for the Bendix ultimate I gotta get them today as my mate won't be working till next weekend and my car is a daily and it won't last that long haha lol.

ok now im totally confused :wacko:

i have 320rwkw r33 gtst.(currently building rb30 bottom end)

im about to buy rda slotted and drilled rotors. still want to use standard calipers.

i DO NOT want sqeeky brakes when cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mainly track use, but also street..

i would like good bang for my buck

thanks

This might sound daft, but I used Bendix 4WD pads in my 32 years ago. They do a 4WD heavy duty pad. 80 series landcruiser pads fit perfect (my old mans car) they pulled up great, no noise and bugger all brake dust

I wouldn't bother with drilled rotors.

Try QFM A1RM. They don't squeak cold and stop very well. Contact GSL Rallysport

Threw in some project mu type ns in the r33 on the weekend. Must admit they have a good cold bite, haven't had a chance to push them through the hills yet but it's looking pretty positive so far. Little squeak at low speeds when pulling up lightly but that's expected from a performance pad I guess... It ain't no Prius.

So should I just go with the Bendix Ultimate then, because if I do go for the Bendix ultimate I gotta get them today as my mate won't be working till next weekend and my car is a daily and it won't last that long haha lol.

Please don't, they're a god awful pad. I pulled a set out of my car and replaced it with Intima SR..

I didn't, I ended up getting remsa brake pads off gsl awesome brake but dusty as f**k, I should have listened to the bloke and got qfm, but oh well, the remsas are bity as f**k from cold to hot, it took me around a week to get used to the pedal feel, I looked like I didn't know how to drive with really hard stops all the time haha lol, I had intima in there previously they came on the car when I got them, and no brake fade and 2000kms in and the rotors still look the same except I have to wash my white wheels daily, but hey that's why I got a Mrs she can wash them :-D.

Guys,

I have just recently upgrade the brakes on my 34 GT-T to DBA T3 rotors (F&R) + QFM HPX pads. The upgrade was done about a month ago.

The issue is that the brakes are squealing VERY badly. The squeal does not happen at a particular time (such as after a thrashing), but it randomly squeals even at low speeds. I've been told that I should remove the pads and file them down. If this doesnt work, what softer, road pads would you recommend for the T3's.

Thanks.

Both my cars squealed with new HPX pads. Filing the surface and the chamfered bit shut them up. My R31 is in it's third year with silent brakes now. GT-R pads are getting swapped out.

If you want something kinder than the HPX, look at the Bendix HD or even their GeneralCT (no, I am serious). No idea if they come in R34 sizes.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
