Hey guys,

Im changing my brakes on Friday and I've got with cross slotted rotors. However, I'm after a pad that will work with these but are also low in dust and especially noise. My current brakes are shocking.

Anyone who knows of some then please let me know!

Hi Callum,

As I said on the phone, and just FYI for everyone else, HPX we've phased out in favor of a better performance street pad. It's a European performance pad called Remsa, which is rated to 650 degrees (versus 550 for the HPX), whilst still being low dust and rotor wear. Also the Remsa come with noise reducing features such as a relief groove and shamfers in the pad material, as well as a soft backing shim, all of which the HPX do not come with. We've been supplying Remsa to high performance street road cars like Porsche and Ferrari for many years, but the pricing has now become such that we're now able to expand it to most road cars. Remsa to suit the front of GTST is $89 for the set. Rear's we're still doing HPX for now, and they're $79 for the set.

Regards,

Greg

What pads are in there now?

You might want to get your discs machined while there of, depending on how worn/lipped they are.

You cant go wrong with bendix, you shouldn't have any dramas with noise, or qfm. There all much the same for street use, I've used both bendix and qfm and never had problems with noise.

Not to sure but there s**t. Screaming noises and rims covered in dust after 2 days

They do, but we're not ordering them in until the 6 or 7 remaining sets of HPX have sold. Pricing from memory on the rears is about the same.

Ok cool. Well I hope you have the rears for me on hold.

I will see you on Friday!

I'm using project mu b-spec on slotted rotors - I get very very low brake dust and no noise at all - also running project mu shims so might help a little also.

Highly recommend for street

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
