Not bad, much better than A1RM on the track but still gave up after 3 hard laps. Project Mu I would do about 5 laps before shit got hairy lol

Recently just bought Type D Intima pads, I'll tell you how they go after 30th May.

Wow 700C temp rating, higher than the A1RM. How do the SR go on the track?

My Intima SS's died on the hills, need some convincing to go back to Intima after that..

I have SRs. Great street pad. But I never use the brakes so I suppose I don't really test them!

How do the pads "give up" after track laps??

Sorry wasn't too clear, so what I mean say after 5 or so laps, the pads become ineffective at stopping the car also known as brake fade. Once everything cools down again by either doing a cool down lap or waiting for the next session then the brakes will be back to normal again until you've given them a pounding and they "give up" after x laps.

Brake fade is not the pads, that will be your brake fluid not able to handle the temp.

Fluid boiling is not brake fade. That's when the pedal goes to the floor and your lunch ends up in your pants.. Fade is where the pads exceed their working temperature and stop having a decent coefficient of friction.

That's pretty lucky then, because everyone else I personally know and race with all have used A1RM, all hate them, all have had brake fade, and half of them crumbled their pads.

I personally hate them, but I hate Bendix pads even more.

I agree, my A1RM's were shot after 3 laps or so of Phillip Island in the Stagea, but that is an 1800kg wagon with R34 Brembo's and 350kw.

Great pad for spirited road driving though, mine don't make any noise, and I have never had an issue on the road.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
