I just fitted QFM pads to my S2 mate, and they are pretty good. They have stagea specific pads on the shelf, and they are reasonably priced too.

GSl Rallysport - Qfm Pads

Dixcel rotors seem to be a good direct fit option. Jap import spares in adelaide sell them

GSL have special pricing for SAU users, check em out in the traders section.

hi guys

im looking for part numbers for pads and rotors (preferably slotted) all round for my 99 rs4s direct replacement no stuffin about with machining or whateva

thanks guys

Hi mate,

As Big Fella said, we have S2 Stagea pads on the shelf. If it's just for performance street use, then the pads that we would recommend would be the QFM HPX, which are a Bendix Ultimate or EBC Green stuff equivalent performance wise, and low dust and rotor wear.

Part Numbers and prices:

Front - GSL009HPX $119

Rear - GSL010HPX $79

Anyone doing track work, then best to step up to the A1RM, which is a Ferodo DS2500 or Project Mu HC+ equivalent.

Part Numbers and prices:

Front - GSL009A1RM $179

Rear - GSL010A1RM $179

Regards,

Greg

hey thanks for the info there

regarding the dixcel rotors the guy has standard non slotted in stock for $240 pair if you want slotted have to wait 2 months $400 but if u dont want to wait they can air freight them to you at a cost $500 just for freight so i decided to machine the 1's i have atm put new pads and i'll try and get the guy from jap import spares to get a few sets of slotted in for down the track

cool as mate. my front and rear rotors still had plenty of meat on them so i just had them machined.

I'd love to go to slotted rotors, but i don't think it's necessary for the family wagon.

My current set up stops well, and doesn't really get that hot. Slotted rotors normally wear the disc more, plus machining can be a pain in the a**

Cheapest prices- Bendix fronts DB1250CT $106, Ferrodo rears DB1144TA $54

Actually, one thing I should note, remember that both the HPX and A1RM are performance pads. They would be the equivalent to a Bendix Ultimate or Bendix SRT respectively, just keep that in mind if anyone is comparing prices on pads floating around.

As far as just standard, run of the mill street pads go (so equivalent to Bendix GCT), we can do:

S2 rears in QFM Super X for $79

S1 Fronts in Japanese made Nisshinbo for $95

S1 Rear in Japanese made Acre for $75

Series 2 fronts are still in HPX or A1RM only.

    • Thanks for all the replies fellas. Gonna finish putting it back together and see how it handles the set up. If it starts pinging it’ll be parked.
    • Well, I can recommend the partial AV system translation CD I ordered from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. Whilst it didn't address the date issue, it has conveniently translated on-screen menu items into English, and now allows the GPS-received time to be offset in hours rather than minutes, so I can display Eastern Australian time accurately ( and bump it by another hour when daylight savings starts ).
    • Yuh, if it's 45°C outside, my car is driving in it.
    • I'd be curious to hear more. Otherwise, have you driven a modern x-trail? I wonder how it compares. Here in Australia they are/were popular for rentals and fleet vehicles. I have been in some and my impression was they are bad. But, this may have been very different in the 2000s at a good trim level. Twenty years is plenty of time to make the model worse. I do very much agree with the 2 silver cars in the garage approach. But, not driving because it's too hot would not leave a lot of time in the year for many Australians. I don't think you need to worry too much unless the car has actual issues with overheating. 
    • Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four-speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to its full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so stupid hot in there, that made it all the more easy -after I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'- to finally remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.
