I have used all.

Why do you want to step up?
Going to the track?

SR is more aggressive than ss.

FP3 doesn't bite aswell cold as the SR. But handles heat and Wear better. I recommend this for track.

If I were you and only using for the street, ss would be my choice.

If you really want to step up then go SR. Just remember that Cold braking will be slightly affected

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Looking more to improve the feel and performance I have now with the SS pads, with the hope of throwing in the odd track day in the future

Having the SR pads on the back too, I'd like to match or better the pads on the front performance wise. The FP3 sounds like it's more track suited if it's not as good cold, so I'll just grab the SR's, cheers guys

 

What Bill said. I've had both SS and SR, wouldn't do the SS again but the SR are great. They were excellent at Sandown with new RDA rotors too.
I have some squeal on the street under light pedal pressure but otherwise can't fault them.
Talk to Johnny for a deal :)

Had the Intima SR's on front now for a few weeks, they are really good.

No noise so far, minimal dust and decent amount of bite. Good pedal modulation under heavy braking

Street use only at this stage

I have Intima SR's as well on new RDA slotted rotors. Bedding in procedure was done correctly, but mine squeal like a pig when light breaking (i'm talking car park below 15km/h speeds)

On the road and under normal to heavy breaking they are noise free

I have Intima SR on the front on my wagon, it's quiet. Bit dusty though and overkill for my daily wagon use.

If it's a daily, should go SS :)

add a bit of copper grease between the caliper piston and brake pad - it helps :)

Bought Intima SR's from Johnny a while ago, they held up pretty good at Sandown, once hot they stopped awesome just felt I had to apply quite a bit of pedal pressure. Appart from the low speed sqeal I can't complain and Johnny was awesome to deal with

Power Stop in the US sent me a set of their "Track Day" pads.  Yeah, they're called "Track Day".   They're partners with Bondourant Driving School here and used on Vettes.

They're something like $65 and I think they're very cheap in comparison to what else is out there.  At New Jersey Motorsports Park I only had 30 minutes of track time due to an ABS pump failure but they performed well enough with ATE Type 200 fluid.  NJMP's Thunderbolt circuit has a two higher speed straights with braking zones from 120-130 to 60 MPH'ish.  The pads felt like they had no issues with the job.

After getting home and removing the pads, I think they wore down 50% or so.  I'd have to measure thickness but I'm not so sure they would have held up to a 2-day weekend and 120+ minutes of lapping.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
