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

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
