my bro in law runs red stuff up front and green stuff at the back on his pug 205 gti track car.... never been in a car that can pull up harder.

only problem is they dont really work at low temps, so dont expect them to clamp like all fk a couple blocks from home, can be a bit scary when they are cold

i wouldnt get bendix

im not 100% sure if ill get red stuff it all depends on money QFM are a good price and better than bendix

I've ran bendix ultimates. They were damn good street pads dusty as all buggery slightly hard when cold but not really noticeable. I was luckly they only squeeled only 'just' before coming to a stop.

A mate at work tracks his Pug 205. He has moved from the green stuff to the red stuff.

He was saying the green's are crap at the track on the heavier skylines but damn good on the street but expensive for a street pad.

Red's feel like your pressing on a brake pedal with no booster until they warm up but on the track he said they are unbelievable. :banana:

Another to consider is the Lucas TRW pads. $50-$70 a pair.

yeah my bro in law was finding the rear end would lock up too easy with reds on the rear of his 205... was funny, would just swap ends n spin under hard braking at speed :D

thanks pete, i am leaning toword the greenstuff for the fronts, and bendix ultimates for the rear, does mixing matter?

changing your brake bias can be a problem so unless you know your compounds pretty well I wouldn't like to experiment....you never want your back brakes to take over on a bend.

steve, i was thinkin QFM all round at one stage.

I was looking at the QFM A1RM's but they are a bit too dusty for my liking (bendix Ultimates are apparently worse though) and they don't make them for a Brembo caliper. I'm in the same boat with EBC Greenstuff.....not made for Brembo caliper, hence why the Redstuff which is actually a Kevlar pad with Ceramic particles. Having said that, if you want QFM's for Brembos, you can send your backing plates interstate and be without your car for awhile, they can rebond them for you with any compound that you like.

Most good pads wont be at their best from home to the local deli but the redstuff doesn't need to glow before they bite......just warm.

Your bro in law has affected the brake bias of his car, not recommended. His rears may bite too hard in the cold.....see below for front/rear combinations: EDIT: They would obviously be fine when hot because the fronts would then bite harder.

On Front.............OK to fit or have on rear

Original........................Ultimax only

Ultimax........................Ultimax or original

Greenstuff....................Greenstuff, Ultimax or Redstuff or original

Redstuff.......................Redstuff or Original

Yellowstuff....................Yellowstuff,Green,Red,Ultimax or original

yeah, this happened after a brake upgrade to some slotted cross drilled items. It now has adjustable bias cos that was cheaper than new rotors etc

my car needs a service bad, checked engine oil the other day and was black as. Need to get to the hoist soon.

Same here. I reckon I'm close to the 5,000km service interval. Better get it done before my interstate trip. :laugh:

Hey guys, could anyone lend me their reo bar! Im kinda getting desperate as i plan to regency it tomorrow morning! I dont have much monies to offer but im sure we can figure

something out. (Oh it should only be for a day also since im heading to regency tomorrow morning.)

Well a bit of catching up to do for me.

- f**k, i missed wipeout :down:

- scott, fluoro for parklife? fluoro is business as usual for me :)

and +11ty for Ric from Auto Perfection, had my new alarm fitted today, excellent service and awesome product. Highly recommended.

I've driven with and without and didn't like the short shifter. Unsure if it was the box but I found I crunched slightly on hard shifts.

I then grabbed a nismo gearknob with the std rb20 shifter/box. The height of the shifter was just nice.

Then in went the rb25det gearbox which resulted in a taller shifter.

Miss my rb20det gearbox; the rb20det gearbox's feel a hell of a lot nicer to shift for some reason. Every 25t box I've felt in comparison feels big and clunky.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
