theres two types that are common in Australia. Theres the NA series and the CC series.

NA are asbestos based (not sure.. check)... and I think the CC series are carbon metalic or something.

You can see some info at www.belperformance.com.au or thr Centrax Auto website which I can't remember.

Depending on what you want them for as in street/track theres a huge difference in the grades.

I have got NA-R on the front, on the street they feel and stop pretty much like Bendix, on the track they keep on stopping you.

heat range 300 - 800. Blurb says they need heat in them for max performance but they work fine when stone cold

NA....non asbestos

CC....ceramic/carbon

ma....semi metallic

Na-R was the one reccomended to me for heavy street + some drag and circuit work, $482/pair front from GSA Wholesale Suspension in Bris. www.gsad.com.au

Pva_glue,

Yeah Xspeed do sell them, but they recommended that I go for the "Project u" pads. The endless ones need to have alot of heat in them before they start to bite, and therefore aren't very good for regular street use.

Due to the high metal content they will squeal and are not good until heated. They will appear fine at low speed while cold, but trust me at 140km/hr on cold pads you had better have your brown jocks on.

See'ya:burnout:

The NA series is blue and the NA-R stopped me fine from 160kph on my first run at the strip at which time they would be cold

GTS-T V SPEC You speak from experience, so do I, how come our experience appears to be so different? I have Endless NA-R on front ,standard Bendix on back. They seem very soft in as much as they bite with very little pressure applied at low speed hot or cold and not much more comeing down from 160. generate a lot of light grey dust but are totally silent, I get the feeling they won't be long lasting though.

When I used them I got the smell of burning metal, almost no stopping power until they had some heat in them. Don't know why the difference, maybe different heat ratings? Either way, if you like the Endless then stick with them, I am still looking for a pad which I'm happy with, I can live with squealing and brake dust, but I won't lots of stopping power.

See'ya:burnout:

NA-R's are 300-800. Depending on how your drive on the street I would say thats a TRACK ONLY pad for most of us.

I would say the optimal street pad temp would be either the NA-Y to NA-M. I am gonna get a set of CC-X from Japan. These arren't generally sold here but its a track/street pad thats goes from 100-600.

Do the Endless squeal?

Yes I did read your post. I know you speak from experience and I don't. I also understand when the Endless website says "NA-R FOR TRACK USE ONLY"

Fair enuf I'm sure they can be used for the road under light load and I'm sure your a conservative driver on the steer so the following point wouldn't affect you but the point I was making was in the circumstance the brakes are cold and you brake hard you may have a problem.

Franks on this forum used to have a WRX with NA-M's. I remmber a time this happened to him when he had to brake hard and you can probably guess what happened.

I'm not disputing what you say.... I'm saying that for regular everyday driving theres street pads .... and then theres high temp track pads.

Pagid Blues ( rs-4 or 12 ) I think. Work great cold, brilliant hot, don't squeal tho do create a lot of dust and are similar price to Endless ( bout $400 an end ).

Most top rally cars in W Aust use em and I ran them at targa. The discs gave out before the pads. Were all black and crumbly when I pulled em out on the 2nd day but still worked.

Don't get Pagid blacks unless you are REALLY serious and have comp rotors.

Yep im with Ken RS4-2 im running these with std rotors they work really well in all conditions, dust minimal, they do squeel a bit though on light pedal applications.

speak to Barry Smith Motorsport in Sydney

they have to cut the rears to suit

price was about $800 for both ends including freight.

hope this helps

I have tried numerous pads...pagids, endless, ebc, other crappy brands...

The pads I have ended up taking a bit of a liking to are Ferodo DS2000's they are about 100-600 degrees or so and are quite predictable and progressive...The DS3000's are also fantastic for very hard driving or track days...

Cheers,

Russ

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
