[craig R33]

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

[bezender]

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'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.

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

They will be my next pads.

yeah craig i like the price of QFM not sure how they handle but the figures are ok Pete seems to think they will be dusty though

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

[SLED]

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

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

[Luke_ENR34]

[Damo_R34]

Well a bit of catching up to do for me.

- f**k, i missed wipeout

- 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.

[Madaz]

Nice Luke cant wait to see them on your car

[bezender]

im thinking about getting a short shifter kit...

anyone car to share their experiences with them??

[Cubes]

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.

[Ryanrb25]

i agree cubes, the 20 box i had in my 31 felt really really good, my 25 box feels very simular but like you said, its just a bit heavy tho....Miles ahead of any new xr6t or SS box however.
