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

How so Mark, Was there A lot of lecture time etc, or just too many peeps ?

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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
