I have braided lines from this crowd on my GT-T, (also using Motul R600 fluid) excellent product! Improved pedal feel heaps. As for the QFM K500's IMHO they are crap. I had a set of these front & rear in my GT-T, I did 2 club days, one at Baskerville & one at Symmons Plains and they where fried to a crisp & worn out! Only done about 6 to 700 km on them. Will never touch them again. The std Nissan pads are better! Never suffered fade on them but the K500's at the hairpin at Symmons, pedal went hard as a rock & straight off in the sandpit!! Not happy!!

Like I said this is my opinion.

Why on earth would you use a heavy duty street pad on a track??

The K500's are not designed for track, the K750 "Trackday" pads are, hence the name.

The fact you even managed to get 2 trackdays out of a street pad, says alot for the pad.

Thats almost as intelligent as using Safeway engine oil in a V8 supercar and wondering why your engine blew up....

My mechanic said the only problem with QFM pads is after he fits them they don't see that customer again because the pads last so long lol. When fitting though discs must be machined (or new) or you'll get no where near the pads potential also fitting all 4 at once can give you issues because they take a bit more to bed in completely. They're also supposed to be friendly to the discs which surprised me.

Pretty good so far and the braided lines definately give a much better pedal feel.

    • 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.
