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?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
