Never heard of them?

Pricing?

They are from GSL as well... Similar to the A1rm in price i think but 11ty times better!

I was trying to stop my full weight 34 on A1rm and had no chance, burnt 2 sets of pads in 60 laps or so... Swapped to Winmax and have now run 60+ laps without much sign of wear AND they stopped amazing, over and over without fade!

Cheers, good to know.

Would also like to know who's used the TRW pads, they are much cheaper.

Cheaper... Brakes... Not likely to end well :P

In saying that i am pretty sure i used the TRW fluid and it worked well lol

Call Greg @ GSL and he will give you the answers you need! Pretty easy to deal with!

Track only.... Winmax.... A1rm are garbage in comparison!

What are the Winmax like from cold? I run A1RM's atm as the car is used on the street occasionally but if the Winmax were better wearing for a similar price I'd switch to them.

What about rotor wear?

Worked from the minute i left the pits... Have not used them on the street as yet!

Rotor wear will be an issue i would imagine as would any aggressive pad... You can get varying compounds depending on your needs!

I noticed that you went for the 6.5 so I'm guessing the 4 or 5 would be better for a bit of street use.

What's the pricing like as I think the qfms were only around $130 or so from memory.

More if you're running bigger calipers like I am.

TRW Pads...

They have been around and known around Rally and track circles from the early 80's, heat cycle them 3 times and they become a serious track pad.

We know of a few rally privateers still running them today, they refuse to run anything else.

On my sons S2000, he had them and loved them, last pad change i upped him to EBC Red Stuff ceramic, many more $ extra and his says the TRW were better and he wants them back on the next pad change.

Yep, thats my advert, they are the ones.

Made in Spain by Lucas.

QFM are now made in Asia after talking to their agent a few months ago. (and for a while now but kept quite in the industry), cannot rember if he said Malaysia or Indonisia or other, but it was not china.

Well you're going to be biased, but what should my expectations be versus the A1RMs on my car?

S13 with S14/15 front calipers and standard rears, R33 Booster.

Slotted rotors, BM50.

Brake duct vents (home made though, piping from front air intakes to hub so who knows how well they work lol)

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
