I thought it was about normal for race pads; after all it costs less than a single semi slick :( racing aint cheap, even when you are trying to do it cheap.

I'd guess anyone that sells those kits could probably source the pads, but Just Jap might be the only ones who actually have them in stock.

I can afford the pads, but it seems a bit ridiculous that the ATTKD pads from China are MORE expensive then the big name brands like Ferodo etc.

Who else sells these kits?

Could always send gsl or motorsport brakes your pad shape and they will make you a pad that fits with whatever pad brand/material you like

I know project mu can do it

This is what I'd be doing. I've seen those chingchong calipers around a fair bit, so, getting some pads into market wouldn't be a bad thing.

umm the pads are the same as the AP 6 piston calipers so pads are readily available from most brands - they just aren't cheap!

^ exactly this.

It's not something custom to China... It's China copying everyone else (well, taiwan in this case) :D

Project Mu probably already have something on the shelf just like any other brand, no need to custom made this/that

The A1RM part number for the 330mm kit (which i believe uses the same pads as the 356 kit) is QDB 1933, which i guess is QFM using Bendix naming which would be DB 1933, and a bit of the googles gives;

HSV Aftermarket Up-grade, VE / VZ Series, AP 6 piston Caliper & Harrop 6 piston Caliper, Clubsport, Maloo, Senator, Grange, GTS & GTO - 06 on & 05-06 Front DB1933

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
