went out for an afternoon track session today at QR

have had the ME20 Pads in for 1 full and 3 half track days.

have been brutal on them the last 2 times out on the national circuit.

was about to head back out for the second afternoon session when a pair of black lines and some large 50c pieces of the pad material fell from the trailing edge of the backing plates of both front pads

The last inspection of the pads prior to the last half track day showed no cracking of the pad material and reasonable pad thickness.

Endless W003 is the compound we use at Mallala - which is harder on brakes than QR - and no problems :D

Mark,

you've had a lot of rain up there recently, do you recall and instances where pads have bound to rotor (say overnight or if the car sits idle for a long period after rain?) you would hear/feel a noticable crack when you first move the car, or the car wouldnt move until you give it some throttle. I have a theory this happens a lot, and weakens the pad material, which then cakes off. Anyway, just a thought. I've never used ME20's, just the ccRG's (they have been fine).

I got a whole 15 min of drive time. :laugh:

Saw your car on the trialer heading out there! Looking very good :) It was the highlight of an otherwise pointless morning spent walking around in the bushes beside the cunniham highway lol

Nah Noel I missed the first session as i was late from work and then the pads went after my first session out.

Didn't take a spare set of pads so called it a day.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
