As a suggestion, Mintex M1166.

Not as hard on discs as Green Stuffs, will handle track temps without a glitch and are fine from cold.

The only downside is a brake squeal similar to what many seem to experience with Bendix Ultimates although it is only for the first 3 or 4 applications until they get some heat into them.

Hey this is like only sorta related to the pads..

but which pads besides the greenstuff..give off the LEAST brake dust??

Ive got stock nissans at the moment..and stock nissan rims..and i never get much dust on them at all..

i love it!!! (cuz i hate dirty rims)

but a mate of mine has bendix ultimates..and his rims are premanently dirty

hgehe

I've got a set of Racebrakes on my front, they give quit of a bit

of dust, but then again i do give them a hard time. I'm more

worried about slowing down when I want, rather than some

dust which is easily hosed off anyway. :uh-huh:

Oh and yes.. Any of the pads mentioned are better than the

stock pads. Well in my experience anyway.

I'm running racebrakes RB74 compound on the front and racebrakes comp2's on the rear. I got my discs machined last week then changed the pads. I haven't really given them a hard workout yet but they feel a bit more responsive than the factory pads I had in there. I'll be getting on the track in 2 weeks so I'll find out how they perform then :)

I have found some sweet pads that I am using and after using many different pads on all my previous cars I can easilly say that these are the best pads ever. I have a full set of WedSport brake pads, these are awesome and I believe that Nengun sell them. I got mine from Japan and can't remember how much they cost but they aren't cheap.

Even from cold they are awesome and can easilly pull the car up from 200+ km/h.Must admit tho that they are very aggresive and I need to have the disks machined once a year.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
