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?

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
