Remsa are quiet and good performance but very dusty.

Just a quick update on these, they had their second outing at Sandown on a 37 degree day on Sunday. Really happy with the hot bite and lack of fade (though had to do a lot of cool down laps because of oil temps so brakes got a rest too).

There's about 4-5mm left on the fronts after maybe 10000kms and two track days on a full weight GTT sedan.

Besides the crazy dust the only other thing I'd note is the somewhat vague feel when cold.

Still, recommended, especially at this price point.

Try Project Mu HC800 next time, it will blow your mind away and maybe your load too.

Those who rave about A1RM have never tried anything better. like a guy that's only owned a h0mosexual Honda Civic will say his car is the fastest thing alive.. till he or she hops into the likes of a Skyline and cream both their front side and back side openings.

Yeah I know, but ~$110 vs how much for Project Mu?

Had to post this here;

Brakes Direct/GSL Rallysport do an amazing job! I ordered my parts yesterday morning, and they arrived this morning. Overnight parts from QLD to ACT.

Ordered some new TRW GP600 Brake fluid 1L to do a flush. and some Remsa/Roadhouse pads for the front to match my already existing remsa rears.

All that's left is a new RR caliper as the one i have has a stripped fluid hole, and a lick of paint.

I'll be able to report back on how they go on a heavy stagea at the track in april.

Setup consists of; R33 gtst calipers - DBA 4000 T3 rotors F+R - Remsa/Roadhouse pads F+R - TRW GP600 fluid - Nismo braided lines front - APP braided lines rear

+1 for Brakes Direct/GSL. Ordered new Remsa fronts for $85 w/ free delivery on Tuesday night, received them on Thursday. Awesome.

Also as Trex and some others have pointed out they're currently supplying Roadhouse instead of Remsa. It's still the same pad, compound and part numbers.

Yeah, did a bit of research on this a little while ago :) Hmm I paid $10 more than you for my front pads :/

Yeah no idea why they are $95 at GSL and $85 at BrakesDirect, it's the same company?! Anyway, go cheapest :)

Screw Remsa, I got them on my GTT after hearing about them here. Never ever saw pads that spit that much dust in my life. Rims get absolutely coated with brake dust in a week. And the pads wear out quick. Cheap nasty shit, never again.

But you were warned that they are dusty lol. That's what everyone says. "they are great, but dusty" lol

haha this. I prefer to spend the extra 5mins each wash instead of paying $800 for new rotors.

So how did they actually perform on your car?

Even China shit cant be as bad as these.. :(

Hahahahaha. You don't know China pads like I do. You also didn't mention anything about the performance, just that they are dusty so they're shit.

Maybe check out Bendix General CT?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
