Yep, that's pretty much the guts of it. But (at least from my point of view, and not just trying to defend the A1RM here) the A1RM is cheap enough, that even if you went through rotors twice as quick, you're pretty much at the same level as having to buy a $300 race pad from one brand, and a $100 street pad from another, and you haven't had to worry about changing pads between street/track, or their compatibility between compounds...

From peoples comments it seems that the A1RM wears rotors nearly as bad as a dedicated track pad but with lower performance.

I have not personally tried to A1RM but it seems everyone agrees those pads are aggressive on rotors for daily driving. You often compare them to DS2500s which are more expensive. When comparing the two we should note that the DS2500s are very friendly on rotors, by this I mean there is no way you would wear out a set of rotors in 20,000kms from daily driving with a bit of track work.

So fair enough the A1RM is cheaper but if used as a crossover pad as you suggest but will probably end up costing you the same or more as using DS2500s due to rotor replacement costs. On the other hand they sound like a reasonable track only pad for their low price.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
