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.

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.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
