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

http://www.beerdrinkersguide.com/BDGWebsite/Gardens/AugustinerSalzburg.htm

full of locals , and they have a little "street" of food places where you can buy want what your want from each, everything from salad to most of an animal

plus cheap

the cheese Kransky's we had were spectacular

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 might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
