Track Day Brake Mod suggestions?

[Mazdarotaryparts]

Sorry forgot to tell you we sell Racing Brake Discs to fit the NSX in either 1 piece or 2 piece grooved,

Hope this helps

Dan,
I assume this was all a cheap plug as I see you\'re a sales engineer for a brake company..   just kidding.  
seriously: really appreciate what appears sound advice based on experience.  My Brother is flying out from the US. This is one stop on a whirlwind tour of thrills, so I\'ve got to do my best to ensure it\'s unflawed on the day.  

Can you source all this stuff from the company you work for?  If so, can we get it all going on Tuesday? or even today.

would this be a good thing to get also?

Looking good to have all this sorted within a week!

Haha, i actually quoted you a competitors pad over the company i used to work for! (i should update my details!):Laugh

I would have quoted my old companies all purpose compound, but they are not available for RX7 applications

Seriously, for everyday AND track use, the Ferodo DS2500 are a tried and tested "old faithfull" type compound, you\'ll be ok with those.

Deffo change the fluid for Castrol SRF, and if your budget can cope with the hose\'s and cooling, then this will put you in good stead for the day.

Hi Rob,
 I havn\'t been on here so much lately due to work so never realised you\'d joined up:bandit  The Rex is looking great.

 Everybody has there own opinions on what is best usually due to what they have or sell so I\'ll add my own! I always use Hawk pads on the Rex which I get from Gary at Rotaryart on here. I did have the hawk hp plus(i think) which are a road/track one and were very good. Last time I needed replacements Gary had run out of the hps so I went for the ht10 race ones. They are expensive but without doubt the best pads I\'ve ever used on any car. They are much the same as the hp plus when cold but once warmed up they are incredible. The RS-R has bigger brakes and I\'m not too heavy on brake use anyhow, but I\'ve never experienced brake fade on the Rex with this set up even after ragging the car silly all day at Silverstone for instance.

Hawk HT10 is a very good track compound.

Hey Dave,
Thanks for the heads up.  Think it\'s going to come down to what I can source quickly.. don\'t want to go hog-wild just yet so just pads and lines for now.

Was looking at the 300zx in the garage today. pretty dusty. should sell, but doubt anyone will pay over 7.5K; so will just keep.
She\'s a proper beast, eh.       Hope to get it on to a track this summer. see how it compares.

I should have gone into more detail above. Yes, i ran HT10 fronts and HP Plus rear. Now i have APs on the front i still run the HP Plus on the standard rear brakes. Very good.

Seriously considering some of this SRF if it\'s so good (currently have RBF600 but it needs changing after the last brake-melting trackday!), if it doesn\'t fade it\'s worth the cash (also have new HT10 pads and Racing Brake discs from Clive to go on).

It talks about flushing - I know a litre is enough for a change of fluid, but presumably you need to run some extra through first when changing to SRF - without wanting to spunk another £40+ just for that exercise, is it really necessary and if so, could the flush be done with something cheaper before filling up with SRF?
