besides brake dust, why would you choose the k500's over the k750's?

If you're not doing track, then you wouldn't need K750's. The way I see it, you get a better pad for only $35 more.

what lines would i order for a R32GTR with R33 brembos all round? cant imagine it being at all different to normal lines...

Yeah just the standard 32 gtr lines will fit.

Thats the same setup i have on my car

so by better pad, you mean the k750 over the k500??

i do have a track day coming up on march 14th, but realistically i would be doing maybe 2-3 track days a year. Would this warrant though going up to the K750's??

I assuming there is also a trade off in 'rotor wear' from the k500's to the k750's?

Yes by better pad I mean the K750's over the K500's.

If you're doing track days, then I would strongly recommend the K750's. The K500's aren't designed for track.

Yes, there is a trade off in rotor wear from the K500's to the K750's, however I think its negligable.

You'll probably find your brake fluid will boil well before the pads reach their max temp. If you're going track, get some Lucas brake fluid.

hi i just need pads..will the k500s fit the stock setup? and is it good just for street driving? noise wise compared to the stock one? thanks

I'm assuming by stock setup you mean for a 33 gtst?

Yes, K500's are ideal for street driving. They produce no extra noise.

Cheers

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
