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.

They will be my next pads. :D

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.

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
