Hey everyone, this is more of an enquiry than anything else, but I compete in motorkhana's, hillclimbs and sprints and I was looking at getting th QFM pads. I was really wanting to get the 750 degree ones for their track use but I would need cold bite for the motorkhana's and such. Should I just get the 550 degree ones or would the 750's do the cold job alright. one last thing is how bad is the squeel?

P.S. I also have a R32 Type M GTS-T and I heard that they are the same calipers and pads as the non-brembo GT-R's

Same pad, different caliper.

As far as pads go, you won't benefit from a high temp rated pad. I couldn't even hazard a guess as to what specific pad will be best for your application, but a high temp pad will be worse than a cheap street biased pad as there is a bit of a trade off in cold performance no matter what the marketing says.

I understand that street pads are good for motorkhanas its just the problem I have is that it will be used at track days alot, but I got about 10 laps on the pads I got and they weren't anything special.

So I think I will get the QFM 550degree ones and If they are no good, I'll upgrade and see how they are

Thanks for the help guys I hope to see some more faces at trackdays :(

P.S. I was stocked about the lap time, so Texikhana's and Deca '08 should do better than the starlet

Reece,

Are you good at tinkering with stuff?

Get a good street pad in for the khana's and normal driving, when you go to the track, night before change em around?

Yeah good effort hey! Well, if anything to go by my 1.40 on the back track at Texi should be a walk in the park for you! :woot:

I agree with evil,

As good as my 800 degree project Mu's are on the track, they just don't cut it when dead cold, to be honest, the older they get, the worse the cold performace seems to be. I can't really complain though as they just don't seem to be wearing out (and neither are the pmu rotors) and they have done 5 days at wakefield now and never faded once. The same can't be said of the cheap shit rears.

If you decide to go with a middle of the range pad (and i think your choice of a 550 degree pad is a good compromise), you will need to accept that it won't perform optimally in both situations, so the only way around it is to swap pads continually.....

hhmmmmm

a lil off topic

but BHdave how are the project mu rotors and pads ???

im looking at getting a front pair of Project ƒÊ SCR rotors and Project ƒÊ Type NR pads.

cars mainly used for street with future track work once parts have been replaced.

R32 gts-t type m

I can't comment on the NR's as i haven't used them, I have the HC+ and i think they are fantastic.

I have the SCR Pro rotors and again, i can't fault them. I think they are fantastic.

I have r34gtt front brakes on my 32gtst.

Neither the pad or the rotor are wearing significantly despite the amount of track work they are seeing and they are performing very well.

We'll see how they go on a faster track like ec in the new year.

I just found out I have some rreally dodgy brake pads at the moment, so 10 laps on those should go a bit further with the 500, which I will be happy with.

Thanks for all the Help and I'm sure I will see you guys around :D

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
