for a good mix of street and track use i have been recommened project mu brake pads. Haven't actually used them myself yet but i have heard great reviews about them.

Oh...and i'm currently using EBC greenstuff brake pads - they heat up way too quick and lose grip. I wouldn't recommend them for track use.

hope that helps!

I use the 500degree high performance pads for sale in this thread, top pads for street use with the occasional run through through the twisties. And for $75 per pair you cant go wrong.

I found Bendix Ultimates were good. Find them a good value for money pad and they also lasted me for ages.

I did Winton with them and they were good for about 2 hot laps..

But i personally am a bigger fan of Ferodo DS 2500 for road use and the DS 3000 for track but the 3000 are aggressive and i wouldnt use them on the street.

+1 Racebrakes Rb74 pads About $150 for the fronts.

Dusty as, but nothing looks as street-racer as having a spotless clean car and dirty as front wheels. (especially with white rims like mine). I have found they work well.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
