Duncan, you don't get fade with ultimates on the track?

nope....the stock gtst brakes are excellent :D ultimates, good fluid, dba4000 series rotors.

I did run semi slicks a fair bit which definately reduces the stress on the brakes, but even when on road tyres they were OK

I use the same as Duncan with no dramas at all. My engine oil gets hot way before my brakes have a chance to fade.

I just used a set of NIZMOs on the front of my R33GTST for the Queensland raceway track day, Braking performance about same as Bendex Ultimates - but they last heaps longer and not as much dust. I've never had fade with either pad. I had a set of Ultimates as spares but I did not use them.

Bendix ultimates for 3 to 5 lap sprints. For 20 minutes races you need Hawk carbotics, I prefer the Blue (9012) compound for cars that go around corners as well as they go in a straight line. For cars that don't go around corners very well, in comparison to their straight line speed, then you may want to use HT15's. That compound has a higher intial bite and tolerates the high temperatures caused by the necessarily heavy braking.

The alternative is Performance Friction Carbon Metallic, in the 01 compound.

Hope that helps:cheers:

What are they like on the rotors SK?

Ultimates are very gentle, Blues are not too bad, PFCM leave a residue that needs to be removed regularly. But they do stop, the co efficient of friction is very high and it stays that way over high temperatures.:D

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
