Mine (the ones I'm about to put in) are the Super Sports or some such. highly recomended by the workshop i bought them at in japan. they are only rated to 580degree from memory, but should work from cold. he said these are good street and short race pads. little dust, no squeal and will still work well on the track. the coefficient of friction is 0.43 which is pretty good for a road pad. I was going to try one of the mu's or maybe the endless CC-X but he advised against it saying they would be very noisy and dusty and be a bitch for a car that is mostly street driven.

It was my first time at wakefield on sunday managed a 1:15.595 with street tryes and sbs brake pads and dba rotors.

Which were able to be pushed really hard fo 10-15 minutes before I got some fade at the kink near the end of the main straight in last session and spun it through the dirt and ended up back on to the track.

They have also put the times up from the UAS day, you can check them out at

it seems that (street) GTRs struggle to put down good times at wakefield. seems like a GTST is a better car around this type of tight track with short straight. GTR maybe too heavy for good wakefield times??

be interesting to see what I can must in the GTR there. having done ok in the GTI-R i will be curious to see how the GTR likes it.

Both Abo + Reedy, 1.15 is a pretty respectable time around there.

I reckon Ultimates are great for a 33 gtst I used them for about a million track days and never had fade problems. I did get through 2 sets of rotors in 3 years tho.

For the race car we have used both SBS and Hawk pads and have been very happy with both....but they are no good for a street car coz they don't work from cold.

We really should have a big track/open practice day down there again some time :P

Reedy what street tyres where you using.. because when I put my foot down my rear end just broke loose!

I was using yokohama V102's but still had same problem when I put my foot down in second gear, by then end of the day I was finding it better to leave it in third gear and go through the corner at a higher speed and try to accelerate earlier and it wouldn't kick kick out.

We really should have a big track/open practice day down there again some time!

I've been thinking the same thing there a couple track days every week there for $80 should organise a group.

hey guys my car went round in 1:14.... with my cuz driving, it goes to show that an experienced race driver makes a diff i ran a 1:19....

also a good suspension set-up makes a huge diff, in the dry a good handling car is fun!!!!

Well im heading down on Monday 30th May (or Monday 23rd May, have to see with work)

Last time there with cat back exhaust, filter & IC and road rubber with Whiteline kit the best i could muster is a 1:13.4.

Im so hoping with the new turbo and semi slicks that i can get into the high 1:10s. If i crack a 1:09.99 you will hear me cheering in Perth:) (i highly doubt it, will need more susp work i think.;))

Anyone else interested in coming down?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
