  1. I'll check the part number list, if you can confirm that the diameter the same with 350Z front & rear then they should be ok. Remember that the 350Z has the track version with bigger rotors and brakes (I believe) so this may be the same with V35 Premium coupe with bigger brakes too... GB19 is going on now, got 1-2 orders so far...
  2. I didn't know the condition of pads you have right now... maybe the pad shim is worn out, or when an old pad shim is being reused it may caused all sort of noises, I was told so, as the shim is to ensure pads sits flatly against the rotor and absorb any noises or vibration. But give your rotors a machining and see how it goes... I had slight groove (not bad) on the rear one and that one was the one I had squeal on, so could be the rotors after all.
  3. Sounds like both rotors and pad problem. If your rotor is healthy, you can have it machined nicely and flat surface. I had a problem with the old std rotors (93 gtst) which caused steering vibration and squeal, which was fixed by machining the rotors and putting new pads in.
  4. they are all pre-drilled. blanks or custom are only strictly permitted for qty of 120 (1 crate)
  5. Hi, orders submitted so hopefully they will all arrive by mid next week the latest (if you all didn't miss a delivery due to not being home, etc). Break squeal can also be caused by pads, not only rotors, but things get worse when rotor or pads are badly worn, so see how you go...

  15. According to the brake guy who installed my rotors n pads long time ago, the squeaks normally is caused when the surface between rotor and pads are not even yet, so there's some gap that causes vibration which is heard as squeaks. Just make sure when the rotors were mounted the hub where they sit is cleaned properly as there maybe some rust from the old rotors, this way you can ensure the new rotor sits properly and rotates evenly. and best to use the new brake pads shim as my old shims were rusty and would not ensure the pads sits perfectly even. I still had some noise at the back but they go away slowly after longer use. problem is I didn't use my car often enough last year so by the time I sold it there was still some noise at the back, but less than the first day I had them on.
  16. Yep, make sure the pads are bedded in correctly. Update to Group Buy 18 orders: - Birth for R32 Gtst rear rotors (waiting payment to clear) - VSPEC-33 for R33 GTR rotors (waiting payment to clear) - 2630GTS for R32 Gtst rear (waiting payment to clear) - GTR32GUS for R32 GTR early model full set (waiting payment to clear)

  19. PMs replied... Next Group Buy # 18 will start tonight, closing 5th Sept with delivery around the 10-12th September. I will let those who are interested already sometime tonight or tomorrow.
  20. BAtch 17 will be shipped out today, expect delivery mid next week... Stasis, will send you quote asap.
  21. The Cooper S is probably not gonna be classified as naturally aspirated, as a supercharger is also a form of forced induction like the turbo, in fact I think I read somewhere that turbocharger is derived from supercharger. The 02-06 model is supercharged, but the new 07 Cooper S has gone down the turbocharger path. Reviews says they're laggier but the turbocharger deliver better fuel economy and 3kw more on the top, since its more efficient and not running/spooling up all the times like the supercharger did. Won't be long till petrol heads with cash start tinkering with the 07 Cooper S turbo! boost controller, exhaust, dump pipes, BOV, FMIC, etc... LOL
  22. Golf GTi is really tempting, but looks like these days every man and his dog owns one... hmm.. probably need to go for R32 Golf but yikes their prices are way too expensive... Was actually considering to go the Cooper S path, lightweight and chuckable chasis is a sure way of a fun car. JCI quote was around the $950 for comprehensive rating 1... so if you're still rating 6, insurance is probably gonna cost a bit... unless you're comfy with 3rd party only.
  23. glad to hear it all worked out :-)
  24. email notification of pm & replies in thread also did not work for me, used to work long time ago... can it be fixed too?
  25. Patrick, did you receive it just today? Your consigment note says it's been delivered in full this morning!
