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.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
