*** 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

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.

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

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

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
