soooo....

where can i grab brakepads round melb @ a good price asap? have deca on the weekend and i dont think i can do another day on the current ones

looking at pads for track and street duties....

Hamish.

Call GSL rally sport and you'll have them on wednesday from qld.

Get HP-X or the A1RM's for a higher temp pad. I'm using A1RMs and they're good for track work too.

A1RM's are track pads and chew through rotors really badly in cold mornings. I used them on my daily and needed new rotors after 30,000km. After speaking to QFM, they are track oriented pad and will chew through rotors quickly when they are not up to temperature (ie daily driving)

I have QFM HPX pads now which are great for street. Cheaper and better than Bendix Ultimates but I have been told they will not hold after a couple of runs on a track.

For motorkhana/daily driving the HPX will be your best option.

Brakes plus in Highpoint. EBC Reds for teh brembos cost me $600 or so. not too bad and a great pad for street and track, also no icky black dust on your wheels, teh powder stuff that does come from them wipes off with wet sponge due to no metal compounds!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
