Get a set of pmu clubracers and you cant go wrong. They have heaps of bite when cold so you can use them on the street with no problems

LOL, i bet you have ABS :)

I cant drive with bitey pads like some Hawks and Endless CCR. I just forever lock up and flat spot tyres :(

= SQUARE TYRES and reverting back to RB74 sporty street pads :)

I'm just about to do Phillip Island this weekend in my 32 GT-R with standard brakes and A1RM pads. Anyone have any idea of how they'll hold up at the island.

They were pretty average at Winton as they started to fade trying to pull up after the straights.

Do you have ducting for the front brakes? If not, throw some on there, will help.

You must be trail braking alot to carry a locked tyre that far into a corner or is it that you had to stay on the brakes late due to an earlier lock up?

I used to use RB74's. But I found that once they went away due to heat they never would come back. Not sure why.

The DS2500 feel as though they have changed in the last set I bought. Alot more bitey when you first bed them in. After a few kms they reverted to how they used to feel.

His set are for R34 calipers so no good for me.

I'll check out OTR though, cheers for that.

Ah yes, you must have the Nissan brake setup.

Then the part number you need for PMU is F236.

Cause I upgraded to Brembo Calipers, I just see it as all interchangeable :laugh:

As the part numbers are all the same for R32 / R33 / R34 GTR (Brembo Caliper Only)

Which is PMU F206.

Ive used the a1rm on about 4 track days and there not really confidence inspiring. They tend to let go after one or two decent laps and they wear out really fast. Waste of money in my opinion. Get a set of pmu clubracers and you cant go wrong. They have heaps of bite when cold so you can use them on the street with no problems

I have already haha. I bought a set of pmu clubsports of them which they recommended but i never fitted them coz i bought a set of alcons soon after with the clubracers which are a step up to the clubsports. There brand new in box if anyone wants them pm me

So you went from stock hardware with a1rms, to alcons with PMu.... Fair test? :/

Yes It is because my opinion is directed to the topic of a1rm pads on stock gtr calipers which is what people were talking about. The a1rm pads in my opinion, and im sure gsl will tell you the same thing is, a1rm is a very good street pad that you can take to the track and the clubraces are a track pad you can also drive on the street. It has plenty of bite when cold and when used on the gtr brembos will still be a big step up on the a1rm.

RB74s in my pad shape are dirt cheap. Something like $140. I have plenty of rotor and cooling so luckily able to get away with cheap pads. Am going to give RS4-2s a go next.

And yes,..I carry a fair whack of brake up to the Apex. I set my car up so its a bit dosey in turning as it is easier to wrestle the car to the apex and have good power down then a nice front end that the read doesnt want to follow and blases tyres on exit. Maybe a more switched on person could set the car up better but meh...it is what it is

I find my a1rms were fine on the track. But I have a much lighter car. How much are clubracers worth? I just looked it up at $350 for some fronts, so I think I'll be ok with the QFM product.

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
