What are the brake pads like pad vs rotor wear?

The high performance pads (500 degree) are equivelent performance-wise to Bendix Ultimates, but should last roughly twice as long. The high performance pads also produce about 90% less dust then the Bendix Ultimates.

The track day pads (750 degree) can handle approximately 100 more degrees than the EBC greens. They will also last roughly twice as long as the EBC greens and have about half the wear and dust.

Obviously all these figures depend on your driving style, but these are a rough estimate.

If anyone has anymore questions, please ask.

Braided brake Lines --- is the group buy still going?

When is the last day?

Also how long does it take for delivery?

I have track day end of nov (this month) .. so i would need it soon

Also is this a bolt on type job?

Anything else required to fit ?

cheers mate

Hi siddr20,

I'm taking orders for this GB as we speak. GB closes at the end of this month.

Hoses are generally being shipped the day after payment is received.

These are a direct replacement for your old hoses, so just take off the old ones and put the new ones straight on.

All you'll need to do is bleed the brakes slightly once you put the new hoses on. Fairly easy to do.

If you have anymore questions, just ask.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

i see now you have the Stagea fronts for the braided brake lines. Are they the same as the R33Gtr? how about the rears? Is the stagea for a RS4s or 260rs? Will they be the same? Let me know.

Do you have anything for the the pads? Its equilvalent to the R33GTR brembos.

Hi stasis,

From memory, from what BrakeWest said, the hoses are similar to the 33 GTR. The rear hoses are a pain in the a$$, that's why BW aren't doing them. It involved changing changing some fittings on your car from imperial to metric and was more trouble then its worth. This was all for a 260RS, not sure about the RS4.

For pads, BW don't have anything available for Brembo systems unfortunately. I was using the K750's with my standard GTR brakes, but since i put Brembo's on the car, I've had to settle for EBC's.

Cheers

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
