Hey thanks for letting me know!!!

Indeed - not enough Silvia's "representing" on the track...

I didn't bother advertising Labour Day because it sold out even before they could create a marketing flyer for it!

Looking forward to the day - looks like will be good weather for it!

I'm going to the labour day track day. Although I'm certain I will need new brake pads right away.

LOL was that before or after the track day?

Either way - you better have some pad left for Dec Wakefield

Woops! Yeah I meant after the labour day track day my front pads are definitely going to be dead. I just hope I don't use them up completely. Looks like there is about 40-45% meat left - which probably means only about 25%ish of useable pad material.

I think I used at least 1/4 of the life of the front pads at Oran Park GP circuit club day.

I need some new brake pads - anyone got any comments to make about Project Mu B-spec pads? Was thinking these would be nice to try out next.

40-45% particularly on the front pads I'd replace before the track day rather than afterwards... crazy to go to a track day with that little left!!! Maybe I'm just overcautious...

Strongly advocate Project Mu - I'm running the street spec NS one and they're fine - a lot more bitey than the shitty stockish ones my car came with.

NS is 0~400 degrees, BSpec is slightly higher 0~500 degrees. I'd try BSpec next time I replace the pads, and certainly if you intend on tracking your car more.

Do shop around though - particularly if you order from Japan you can get some ridiculously good deals.

45% is heaps if you know how much your car uses of that particular pad at wakefield. I was using a set of rears on the skyline every second track day but the fronts lasted forever. I think i got 7 or 8 days out of them.

for the minor difference in price go straight to the HC+. Other than being a bit unresponsive on the first decent stop they perform brilliantly. They need a little bit of heat to work properly

TMB has NR's (i think, 0-700 odd anyway) in his track car and the feel is pretty bad once they get hot i found. By the 6th lap they were very wooden. Still seemed to be working ok though.

I also tried the SBS carbon ceramic (0-650) on my last outing in the skyline. Same issue as the NR's. Wooden feel once hot with the addition of very high initial bite so i was locking wheels everywhere with very little pedal pressure.

High initial bite must have been scary especially braking after the kink at wakefield!

I've been to wakefield once before on these brake pads and I think there will be just enough meat left on them at the end of the day to get me home. My last track day was Oran Park GP and I think I used quite a fair bit there, more than I did at wakefield.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was looking at either the Project Mu HC+ or the B-spec although a friend suggested the HC+ might kill the RDA slotted rotors I have fairly quickly?? Hence the B-spec might not destroy the rotors as fast.

- I'll email Streeter and see what it will cost me for a set.

Anyhow enough whoring of this thread. Back on topic - I think I might not be able to attend the December Wakefield day, especially with the idea of a recession coming into the picture.

Yes back on topic:
