Thats a bit like saying r34 GTR or non turbo 32 gts whats better, the GTR is better but it costs about 10 times the price.

Ulitmate pads are ok for the street but are very dusty, race brakes rb74 are much better with little dust and are about $150 set, endless are a very good pad with different grades but would be $300+ a set, what do you require from the pads?

I went for the Bendix Ultimate as I was running out of money at the time. They went well at the last track day at Queensland raceway, but yeah a set of RD74s would be nice, alot of the guys out there use them. And yeah, the ultimates are the dustiest pads I have ever used!

I have Endless NA-R and despite the fact that they are described as a "specialist circuit pad" heat range 300 -800 C they have been on the car since last December and are excellent on the track ,dragstrip and circuit. They feel just like a normal pad ,are not especially dusty and just stop the car whether it's the end of the dragstrip, the main straight at W'bank for the 7th time or the first traffic light on your way to Maccas.

Considering the cost of my car, the cost of all the extras on it , the fact that one of my favourite sons drives it on the racetrack and Mary's favourite husband (me ) drives it on road and track I consider it to be $456 well spent even though the price curled my toes up at the time.

www.racebrakes.com.au for phone numbers. Fronts should be $150 or less (tell them you're from SAU and you get the club discount), not sure about rears. Apparently Comp 9's on the rear are a better match for RB74's on the front, but speak to the guys at the shop.

My pads are 60,000kms old, (ive used them for about 7k since ive had the car) and they still have more than 50% left. I have endless NA-M pads....after seeing that they have lasted this long, i would definetly see them as worthwhile replacements.

They may be overkill for street use, the rb74's might be much better value for money, but i havnt used them so couldnt say.

But yes the endless pads are excellent, not much dust, and they bite hard when hot or cold, plus i have never felt any fade.

Only downside being they apparently eat through the rotor faster than other pads.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
