Hi guys,

I'm from Canada, new to this forum, So I don't know too much about group buy and ''home BNR32 brand''.

My GTR is pretty much stock and My brake pads are dead. I need new one! I read the 10 page topic and took some brand on note.

I'm daily-driving my car with maybe 3-4 track session ( So i'm much more about street pad). Which pad are the best in term of performance and money ??

Hawk HP

QFM's HPX

Nismo

Endless SS

Project Mu NS

Or any other ''australian brand'' ??

Thanks! :)

Hi mate,

If you ever plan to do track work, then I'd be looking at taking the QFM A1RM over the QFM HPX. The HPX is still capable of limited track work, and has similar performance to a Bendix Ultimate, but the A1RM gives you that extra margin of a pad that you know will do track work, whilst remaining 100% streetable, albeit a little bit of dust. They still work from dead cold, don't chew through rotors etc.

Assuming you've just got the stock 'Nissan' Sumitomo 4/2 pot brakes then I could ship you a full car set of pads for $239AUD. The shape the Aussie dollar is at the moment that's only about $190 Canadian! Or else if you did just want the HPX then you'd be looking at $179AUD for a full car set.

Regards,

Greg

best street pads? Endless SS-S. the CC-X are a bit too hard core for mainly street use I reckon. the SS-S will hold up 'ok' on 1 or 2 mild track days too. but it's not hard to change pads and just have some separate track pads. but the SS-S are a great high performance road pad. cheap too.

Trying to figure out the price difference between Endless and QFM

Lots... you wouldn't be able to buy one set of Endless for the price of front and rear QFM's... let alone shipping. BTW, for those that may be interested, I've just updated the QFM Performance website with a heap of customer feedback and links to where they said it, quite a few of which came directly from this forum. http://www.qfmperformance.com

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
