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

Lap 1

Lap 2

Lap 3

Lap 4

= 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.

[gtr jet]

I Don't have any but I'll hopefully sort some out asap.

Looks like you are doing better than old mate in the red car out the back? Reverse entry? lolz

Fwd oversteer ..... never a fun feeling lol

Hmm for some reason it didn't reply with the previous reply. I ment the price difference to pmu club racers and a1rm. The price is double

What size brake ducts are people using and how flexible do they have to me? I found some 75mm yellow hose at work but it's pretty stiff.

I'm using an RDA slotted/DS2500 combo with RBF600 fluid.

Worked well at Winton two weeks ago and had no problems with fade.

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.

Thanks for the heads up. Where's the best place to grab a set of PMU's?

Buy dkbcleaners's set or go to On The Run Motorsport.

I got a set of PMU B-Specs for $269.

[gtr jet]

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

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

[Plattsy]

anyone used yellow stuff on the track?

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

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

Which is PMU F206.

Yep - I couldn't notice any difference to A1RMs (that is, they both worked fine with my setup) just a lot more expensive than A1RMs.

haha yes i do. But it has a nice progressive feel so you can reach the limit of the abs without it kicking in

Nice pics btw!

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?

[dkbcleaner]

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

[PN-Mad]

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.
