they are not a good pad for street.... also they chew rotors too much for street

better to go something like EBC red if want street pads

Yup qfm spokesperson validated why my rotors disappeared in 15,000km of street driving with a1rm.

They chew a lot when cold.

He said the qfm hpx are the best street pad from their range.

Been using them ever since and no issues.

I killed a set of A1RM's at calder in one day...never again.

(and remember I'm traveling slower than most here and with a lighter car.)

were great at deca tho.

I'm trying a few new ones now the ones I were using no longer in AU.

so I want to drain the fuel on the 200 as it will have been sitting for 6+ months b4 next track day.

I'm thinking easiest way is to pull the outlet hose off the fuel filter, put some fuel line on that into a jerry can and just turn on the ignition.

need to change fuel filter as well so seems like a good time for it.

any-one have a better way.

Really good article... Note for once it concentrated on actual issues and solutions instead of "Speed kills", "More Cameras are needed to save lives!", "HOON!"

I think I've got a night there too, will post results. All I've heard is it's expensive but very clean

if going to salzberg

and you drink beer

hit this place up

I just use the return line off the rail and idle till done.

done it heaps of times

The CP5070D54 sized pads fit. Most manufactures make these.

You can get them in DS2500/3000, HC800/Club Racer, Blue (DP5006)/Orange (DP9006) Stuff.

I really liked the project-mu, but it was costing too much. So used the Blue, then went to the Orange when I stopped driving it on the road.

Yep, I was told the "pads for k-sport/d2" should fit but you may need to modify/grind the pad a bit to fit, which meant it didn't fit. Either that or buy the actual pads from the JJ site.

So will these fit without modifications?

Also Simon, the green pads that come with them are baaaaad. I mean they're good for street, and by 'good for street' I actually mean I had a fair amount of brake fade in the hills with a 356mm set vs the standard brakes which had none.

hence the research into pads

:/ We'll see how it goes I guess. due to the fact I won't be able to just pop down to repco/sca to pick up pads anymore, I'll always have a spare set on hand... so will have time to experiment and see what fits and what doesn't...

Won't be tracking it for a bit, getting these brakes killed my car budget for a while... But when I do I'll be running great pads on the track, and swapping them out for street pads when I get home and take off my track tyres.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
