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

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
