Hi Guys/Gals,

If your in need of serious stopping power, and can't afford a set of Brembo brakes, then look no further. Hawk racing pads will just about snap your neck with there braking power, and you don't even need to upgrade you calipers or rotors. Great for street use, motorkhana's, or even track racing.

I've been able to secure and offer from SRE (Serle Race Equipment) to provide these Race pads at a major discount if we buy 6 or more sets of front pads.

Normal reatail price on these pads is $400, but if we buy them as a group then we can get them for $275 for a set.

If you have the $$ and are interested then either respond here or PM me, once we have enough interest, then you'll need to transfer the money into the SAUWA account before we make the purchase.

If you have any questions then contact me.

Cheers

Paul

President of SAUWA

i hope thats checking and not stealing paul :)

They are the most effective when you get some heat into them like any track pads ... and very easy to lock up as you can see from my front ender. N they are good little rotor munchers :rant: But very nice brakes!

My standard brakes are starting to squeal a little bit now... yes I am still running standard pads... i should have upgraded a while ago but haven't gotten round to it....

When will this group buy be happening? I may be interested.. just to confirm its $275 for all 4... are they heaps better than the standard pads?

Niz can you please explain "rotor munchers" ie will this happen in everyday driving or just when stopping from 200 km/h to 0 in 1 sec.....

$275 for two :rant:

haha nah they are effective but i was told when i bought mine to be prepared to chomp thru rotors .... and my rotors were up for renewal before the pads .... now they just make an awful grinding sound when i brake. But thats cos of my rotors are rooted

rotors are rooted ... r ... r ... r skip to my lou my darling. :)

2 pair = 4 pads :)

If you dont want rotor munchers, i got some Ferrodo 2500's from perth brake parts for 225 on my 32 and fading is non existent, even on a good track day being out there for 45mins or so.

If you get too good a pad it isnt going to work effectively on the street as your not braking all the time to get the heat into them. I use to have some Pagid's in my car before the Feroddo's and this was the case most of the time.

Remember to keep your fluid fresh too. :rant:

$275 for 4 pads, which will do your front brakes. Niz's rotor's were already rooted, so I don't think they go through rotors any faster than other decent pads. They stop good cold, and brilliant with a bit of warm in them. I'd recommend a complete brake fluid flush at the same time, and replace with Dot 4 brake fluid.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
