you tried these guys for DS2500s DJR? http://www.zeckhausen.com/Brembo/GT1_Pads.htm

pad choice for F40/F50s is probably second to none. all the euro stuff is available, so is the US stuff and even the japanese stuff is all made in F40/F50 pad shapes.

as far as the cool kids go, they most often mistake my F50s with 355mm rotors for stock R33 brembos... lol definitely no cred, especially since they fit under my 17inch LMGT4s...

From zeckhausen

The 16mm FDSR3028 w/o sensor slot is no longer available in the USA and possibly Europe, but the 16mm thick version with the sensor slot is available. I'm checking to see if it's sitting in the USA or if it has to be ordered from Italy.

Meanwhile, I've added the 16mm thick pads to our part numbering system with a "-1" extension to differentiate from the 18mm thick pads. See: http://store.zeckhausen.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=82_85

Will let you know about availability shortly.

For some reason, the thinner 16mm DS2500 is more expensive than the 18mm version, however the pricing is reversed with the DS3000, with the 16mm version being cheaper. Odd.

Then:

I just heard back from Essex - the importer of Ferodo into the USA. They state the FDSR3028H is not available and they do not stock the FRP3028H. It would have to be special ordered from Italy with a lead time of about 8 weeks.

I think I'm going to buy a set of the project MU titan HC for my F50s. yes they are 18mm but they list them as suitable for front calipers. maybe F40 to F40 is slightly different width? for $179USD I think they are pretty keenly priced.

Well let us know how you get on. Are they a new pad because I cant remember Project Mu doing something with that working temperature range. Local price is $444. Ow.

I think I will order the 16mm pads (and wait a bit) then check them with a 2mm spacer.

fk me dead. $444 is harsh. I thought $178 was cheap but was thinking more like $300-$350 retail. :( will let you know. if it comes to it I'll need to spend some time grinding the bastards down... :(

yes. 400 for little 16mm pads is horific. just think, 2 pad changes and youve almost bought a set of forged monoblock race calipers with titanium pistons.. fyi using evo pads in the f40/50 caliper lowers/widends the contact area buy about 10mm. but they are thinner.

Have you tried PFC06? They are a nice bitey pad, but in my car I struggle with locking brakes with them. I am abotu to bin them for some RS4-2. Much lower bite nad friction coefficient. I think some of the high u pads are for non boosted brakes etc

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
