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.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
