Hey Guys,

Well my pads are getting near to the wear limits and Im looking to get some new ones. From what I have read on here they are the same as 350Z touring pads?

My question is what pads are people using and what are they using the car for? I my car is purely for the street but as I live in the Perth hills the brakes get a good beating

every now and then :P So obviously I dont want a pad thats too aggressive on the rotors or one that has a heat range suited for the track, but at the same time id like slightly increased performance over stock.

Does anyone have any recommendations for what pad I should use and where I may find them?

Cheers,

Brendan

Yep, M35 brakes are the same a Z33 (350z) touring.

I recommend QFM A1RM pads. Straight fit, no squeal. I have Nismo rims which would show up brake dust up in a second and the only dust I have on my wheels is from the dirt road I live on.

Cheap too, around $180 delivered for all 4 corners :)

Link? Sure, I got mine through GSL Rallysport or Jetpilot1986 on SAU.

Awesome! Sounds like those pads cover all the bases. They also seem to beat the Project Mu pads also listed on GSL Rallysport for frictional coefficient.

Thanks very much for the info, Ill send Jetpilot1986 a PM later today and order some :)

what are the pads like rda do?

I'm using RDA's in mine at the moment, nice cold bite, good fade resistance, but quite dusty. Even paying retail they're only $35 a set. Not unhappy, but next time I'll be going QFM; everyone raves about the A1RM's

Hi Brendan,

It really depends on which side of the compromise fence you sit. The A1RM is phenomenally good pad as the guys above have said (and is a Ferodo DS2500 type equivalent pad performance wise), and although it is 100% streetable, it will have slightly higher rotor wear than a normal street pad, which if that's not a drama, then they'll be the best pads you'll ever run on the street. The next pad down, the HPX is a Bendix Ultimate equivalent performance wise, but very low dust and rotor wear, and is generally enough for most people on the street, even with a bit of heavy duty work.

The A1RM to suit is $119 per axle set front or rear. The HPX is $79 per axle set front or rear. Shipping is free when you order front and rear pads together, or else $8 per axle set individually.

If you wanted to take a bet each way, A1RM front and HPX rear is quite a common combo we sell.

Regards,

Greg

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
