They are actually a new pad designed by DBA to enter into that market.


I got a set for free from Brakes Direct due to my Forza pads taking near forever (7 months!) to ship from Italy, which was an issue on the Forza end, not the Brakes Direct end.

However, I haven't tried them as my car is laid up right now. They SHOULD sit in that light track/A1RM/FP3 kind of segment. They should be well into the whole "Well I'm about to go to the track for the first time but want something semi-streetable..." kind of thing.

A1RM I wouldn't even consider as light track, they're a street pad.

I agree, after using them on the track I had this problem after half a session pulling back into the pits

But some people use them with little to no issues

Oh well I got them for free with my rotors so I my aswell try them out ....?

After I discussed the above photo with Brakes Direct, they sent me a set of DBA XP, but they also said they didnt have a great deal of info on them either, They should at least work for the street, but they are rated a bit tougher than the A1RM but fill the segment the A1RM is 'supposed' to be filling.

If you have them, and have nothing else its worth a go. Worst that can happen is you buy another set of pads for track days which is hardly the worst plan to have..

I actually have a set of these. They didn't do the trick for track use (but were more than appropriate on the road) for my previous 8 pot/R33GTST kit.

I have a 370z kit now and they actually seem damn fine on the street, like _really_ happy with them on the street, enough that I may have actually been confident enough with them for light track if you have a lighter car and don't overbrake like I do.

I'm on the fence and have Project Mu club racer pads, which feel much the same on the street - There may not be that much in them. So FWIW I didn't use them on track (and probably won't) but they are WAY more than anyone ever needs for any kind of road use or motorkhana or drag or drift or something like that.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
