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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
