*** July Group Buy Special on QFM High Performance Brake Pads ***

GSL RallySport stocks the complete range of QFM High Performance Brake Pads, and for the month of July is having a group buy special! Half Price Rear Pads!

We've got 8 sets to group buy off only! DB1170 (Front) and DB1220 (Rear), suit R32 GTS-T, R32 GTR, R33 GTS, R34 GTT. Fit anything with the standard 'Nissan' 4 pot/2 pot front and rear brakes. Brembo QFM pads (DB1520 and DB1521) are also available off the shelf and ready to go!

- 3 sets of A1RM Front and Rear Normal Turbo Pads. $119 + $59.50 + $12.50 shipping = $191 delivered!

- 3 sets of HPX Front and Rear Brembo Pads. $110 + $55 + $12.50 shipping = $177.50 delivered!

- 2 sets of A1RM Front and Rear Brembo Pads. $149 + $74.50 + $12.50 shipping = $236 delivered!

QFM's Performance Street pads fall into two compounds. The first is the HPX pad which is an excellent choice for street cars looking for excellent braking performance whilst retaining all the qualities of a good street pad. The HPX pads are ideal for high performance street cars looking for higher working temperatures with reduced fade, and also for Four Wheel Drives or vehicles looking to enhance their towing capacity or safety.The HPX pads unlike many pads in this performance range are virtually dust free, whilst maintaining low rotor wear.

QFM's second high performance street pad is the A1RM compound and provides QFM with its club sport track pad. It is ideal for high performance street cars that take to the track to test the limits, whilst still being a streetable pad. The A1RM is ideal for club level rally and hill climb where brakes are required right from the first corner!

SPECIFICATIONS

Formulation - Cold Friction - High Friction - Temperature ©

HP-X - 0.41 - 0.42 - 0-550

A1RM - 0.40 - 0.48 - 0-780

For more information checkout www.qfmperformance.com

With such a limited number of pads, it's first in first served by PM with people's full name, delivery address (preferably business), and email and I can email through an invoice with direct deposit details.

Any questions let me know.

I have an R34 GTT. Should I go the A1RM normal turbo pads or the HPX brembo pads?

Thanks.

Hi mate,

The GTT should just use the normal turbo pads, not the Brembo calipers. Just double check that your pads look like this, front:

rear:

Which we've only got in A1RM in this group buy. If you just wanted the HPX pads, that are basically the better all round performance street pad (the A1RM, although brilliant in performance, can be a slightly dusty pad), then we should have the HPX in the next group buy.

Oh and another question. These hpx pads... How do they go with the rotor... Are they harsh as im only really using them for the street and very minimal track work. Basically i want a pad thats gonna give me a bit more bite than standard. Im also looking at the ferodo ds 2500.

EDIT: Scratch the ds 2500... read the braking thread and seen they not the best for street.

ds2000 or lucas or HPX.

Thanks

is there going to be a group buy later on in future? i want to get the A1RM (front & rear) for brembo but i dont really need it now. but if this a once off send me your details for it.

just to confirm, are these the same pads from this group buy: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ad...l&hl=qfm%2A

K750 model?

cheers :)

I was going to say, if you're after a good all round street pad, without rotor wear I wouldn't have been going the DS2500s!

We'll have a few sets of the HPX in stock soon, and I'll get the next group buy of pads happening as soon as possible. Otherwise I've got the Lucas pads on the shelf here now, $65/$55 front/rear. But I'd hold out for the HPX as they are a less dusty pad with similar performance.

Hi mate,

Its not a one off, but with the Brembo pads, its a custom order, so not something that we always keep in stock.

K750 model?

I dunno mate. The K750 is a pad produced specifically for a certain distributor. We're not privy to the various compound make-ups, suffice to say its a very similar pad.

Any other questions just let me know.

Regards,

Greg

Hey Greg, I forgot the ones I got last time a few months back from you, if you rememebr also, got any left?

Cheers!

Hi mate,

Yep, you got front and rear A1RM to suit normal turbo brakes. They have gone up slightly since then, and are $191 for the complete set delivered. Got two sets left in this group buy, just let me know and I can email you through an invoice etc.

Regards,

Hi jetpilot,

I bought the QFM brakes off you quite some months ago now for my R33 but they are have become really squeeky/noisey. Its embarassing. Can you shed some light on this because honestly it was one of the selling points from you that made me buy then and they are not quiet. Appreciate if you could send me a PM to see what can be done. :D

Hi mate,

That's unusual! Were they A1RM or HPX pads? How long after you fitted them did it start? Did you machine the rotors? Did you re-fit the original shims? Squeal is caused by vibration between the backing plates and the caliper itself (nothing to do with the pad material itself), and so, depending on machining tolerances, some calipers will do it not matter what pads are in it. Try some Loctite 3 (permatex) on the backing plates as often this is a better fix than the proper anti-squeal stuff.

Regards,

Greg

Only one set of Normal Turbo A1RM left! Still a couple of each in Brembo.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
