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.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
