Need Help From The Project U Users

[Roy]

Ok, since the Aus dollar has tanked vs the US the cost of Performance Friction pads has meant i am now shopping for different pads to use.

I am running 343mm fronts with Brembo F40s and R33 GTR rears with associated rotors. Being a GTSt i think i should have plenty of brake under the car so hoping to get away with performance street pads on the track.

So have settled on Project U HC+ for the fronts but having not used these pads not sure which i should go for in the rear. Was thinking i should just go with the B-Spec?

Thoughts?

I used the HC+ pads front and rear in standard GTR calipers at Barbagallo and loved it, the pads do have a lot of initial bite to them

I dont have ABS so woudl rather run a less bitey/racey pad in the rear so that i do not have the risk of pinching rear brakes. Plus is it required to run the same temp pad at the rear? I have previously run a milder pad at the rear

You are never going to match the temperatures of the front & rear rotors/pads etc so there isn't much point trying.

At the end of the day you need to reasonably match the friction coefficients of the front/rear pads near/at their expected maximum temps. Reason being when the fronts get hot is probably when you are trying hardest. So likeyou say you need a milder rear pad.

So if the Project Mu stuff is working with a 0.5 friction coefficient (?) then grab something that works in a lower but wide temperature range for that value.

The upside s being a rear pad they last much longer than the fronts.

oh yeah, and since the aussie dollar is SO strong against the Yen, that makes a japanese pad cheap???

lol

Its just that you can get Proj Mu locally and they are nowhere near as expensive as Performance Friction from lcoal suppliers

So come on, any updates on those tracking their cars and using Pmu pads? I nd to get some rear pads in the nexy two weeks for my next outing in Nov some time

I was running HC+ front and DS2500 rear and liked the combo, but then again my rears were quite undersized compared to the fronts (stock single piston S13 calipers rear, Skyline 4 pots up front).

when you drove my silvia at PI we had project Mu HC + front and rear. actually no we didn't they were endless CCR which are about the equivelent from endless.

I would put the HC+ in the front and something like endless SSS in the rear which have good co-eficient of friction but lower temp range. should be a winner I reckon. or run the CCR in the front and the SSS in the rear, both endless.

I think i am going to go B-Spec or NS. A little scared of the Endless pads, they were awesome but three people (myself inluded) have destryed rotors using CC-X or CC-R...so
