Hey; After two years it's time to replace the brake pads;

I've been in contact with Queensland friction materials they just want to know what type of calipers i have; to which i replied I think they are standard Sumitomo's; to which they replied Yeah but what type?

No frackin idea.

Here's a picture.

Love the sarcasm/cynasism lol

Well the guy i've been talking to is quite knowledgeable about this sort of thing; i'm obviously not.

And there's actually a very good report on these very forums with these QFM Brake pads for street use

When you look at it from his point of view; I know there are many weird upgrades for certain models- Some of the skylines have Brembo brake calipers !!??

The numbers he gave me were showed he thinks they are either DB1170 or DB1220

I've checked my R34 manual; as usual it is completely useless except for showing how to top up the washer fluids.

You don't need to take te pads out it is common knowledge what pads they use, obviously old mate at Qfmdoesn't know skylines

If you tell Greg at Gsl you need pads for r34 gtt he will know what pads you need, I should know as I've bought pads off him for my r34 gtt last year and for my r32 before that

Thanks guys, and yep we can do both QFM and Remsa (and 12 other brands of pads), and carry heaps in stock ot sit GTT.

Your problem in dealding direct with QFM is that they're a manufacturer, not a distributor, so they don't have the real world experience of knowing what's what. They know part number and how to make them, and limited vehicle specific knowledge. For this reason most of their performance pad inquiries just get forwarded straight to us to answer.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
