hi all.

im chasing some good quality pads that arent going to ware out fast or be crap on the track.

i only really know where to get bendix and EBC pads cheap. i can actualy get bendix really cheap so i may just keep chucking them in.

ive heard good things about the project Mu stuff but cant find a place that sells the.

thanks damo

the most progressive pad you will find is pagid. perfect package for gtst would be pagid black front and pagid orange rear, but you need to allow almost 1k for pads alone, plus install some ducting to the front.

hawk come on too hard and too quick and will result in you flat spotting tyres if pushing hard without abs until you get the hang of them. they will give you a good 15 laps at symmons on standard rotors though, and after that the front rotors run out of heat range and you'll boil fluid.

any ceramic compound would be good at the track in a skyline with standard brakes thanks to the small rotor size and you'll get them upto temp quick... but last thing you'd want for a hillclimb as they will struggle to work on the first hair pin at collinsvale... i left some ebc yellow ceramics in the gtr the last time i ran it there and they were terrible at both hair pins, even when i blocked up the ducting as they just werent warm enough.

for a cheap option if you didn't do more than four laps of symmons or seven of basky is bendix ulitmate... cheap too and available everywhere. they'll put up with runing that number of laps around 62sec laps with ducting into the rotor veins (ditch the backing plate).

bms sell pagid, ferrodo, endless, project mu and hawk... but the trick is finding the right pad for the car, the driver, the brake package and purpose the car is being used for.

well i am going to start with the cheaper Hawk pads, as mainly they cater to my needs best. i only need somthing that will last 4 laps. club days for now but can also worm up quick for drifting. thus ive been advised the Hawks. ive never heard a good thing about EBC except from the people that sell them.

PM me a price on some pads stu.

ebc aren't terrible, but you need to pick the right pad for the car... i've seen red and yellow completely melt one car, but work awesome on another.

will check pricing damo... there are obviously different compounds to reduce the bite but still work well. what weight is your car and how much power?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
