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.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
