I got sent SR instead of SS pads for the front of my Subaru, they bite very well (sometimes a bit too hard when they warm up, for smooth easy braking) and the brakes are strong. Too much for a daily driver though IMO. Not surprised they work well on the track. The A1RMs on my GT-R however, are most likely glazed over and are rubbish now (after a couple of track days/years).

I don't know why everyone raves about QFMs.. I once thought they were good too.. till I nearly DIED!

Anyhow, if anyone needs Intima Pads SS/SR/Type-D hit me up - will take care of SAU boys and their friends!

What do you have to fit the 8 pot ATTKD calipers for track only use?

I'll check with the manufacturer, because I don't have a listing for those :)

Do you know what other caliper uses the same pads (for reference)?

They take pads for the AP racing 6 spot calipers, common motorsport size with lots of options but I don't have a part#

awesome thanks Duncan!

I'll find drawings tomorrow for them and see if they're a goer!

Sorry for the late reply - as per Duncan's reply they use AP Racing pads. I don't have any part numbers either. Don't need pads just yet but no doubt we will later this year.

I put Pagid pads from RaceBrakes in mine but sorry don't have the numbers.

Got details back from the supplier, unfortunately the Australian stock is just the standard Intima SR, which are 0 to 700 degrees...

but..... if there's enough demand, we can ask them to order them in the Type-D range, which are 250 ~ 850 degrees - however they're made to order.

Ok peeps, I've been running Remsa (sometimes labelled Roadhouse) pads for a while now, generally ok except very very dusty. They're rated 650C.

Thing is, I kinda killed them at Sandown last Sunday, fully glazed over after 3 sessions ( http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/463353-post-track-day-qs-rotor-wear-gearbox-oil-ps-pump-manifold-nuts/?do=findComment&comment=7763092 )

I'm now thinking of upgrading to something like Intima SR or Type D ( as per http://www.trak-life.com/intima-brake-pads-review-sr-type-d/ ) – not entirely convinced though as I had a bad experience with Intima SS back in the day; they completely melted on a mountain run.

Another option is Brakes Direct's Forza line: http://brakesdirect.com.au/forza - maybe FP3, FR4 or FR5.

I'm still after something that is somewhat streetable i.e. with a low-ish C rating at the bottom of the temp range. Any recommendations?

EDIT: Also anyone know who might be able to supply cooling duct brackets to suit the R34 front hubs, to channel air into the inside centre of the disc to feed the veins? The OEM heat shields have been cut off.

Intima SS pads are 0 to 400 degrees though, so yeah not really a good pad to use on a Mountain run..
Intima SR pads are 0 to 700 degrees.. so more suited for your street sprints, mountains, track work etc.
Intima Type-D pads are 250 to 850 degrees... a little shit on the road when cold, but they sure pull up once there's heat.

Happy to help you guys out, will throw in free shipping if you order 2x sets of pads and bank deposit instead of GheyPal.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
