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.....

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

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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
