I just got a quote back from a workshop, not including labour, for the following:

Slotted Rotors x2 - $500 (no idea what they are yet)(or I can wait 2 weeks and get 2xDBA slotted rotors for $300)

Pads x2 - $135

Master Cylinder - $195

Power Steering Boot x1 - $35

Power Steering Pump - $? no price

Centre Muffler leaking, replace with straight pipe - $90

I have done brake pads before and rotors don't sound that hard to replace either. The master cylinder was reported leaaking because there was a bit of paint stripped away beneath it, it looks fine otherwise. My guess is i could save a lot on labour cost if I do this myself, right?!

cheers B)

I hope you're not referring to the cat? Straight pipes are illegal...

Pretty much everything else you listed you should be able to do yourself.

yeah, GTR's have a second muffler, removing it adds a little bit of noise I was told (kinda obvious), but I don't know if its legal or a good idea!!

$300 total for 2 front rotors ($330 for 2 rear rotors). I don't know what the DBA rotors are, I guess your referring to the series! (ie 4000's etc..) I will try and find out today and let you know. BTW that was direct from DBA over east.

I'll also find out what the other rotors were for $500 a pair...

Well I can't say i've ever noticed a 2nd muffler on my system, then again it's not standard haha. I still have standard dumps at this stage. 3" s/steel to the cat, 3" hi flow cat (came over with the standard one lol), 3.5" s/steel cat to rear muffler....

And yeah that does sound fairly cheap for the DBA's! DBA's are fairly popular performance rotors. For a full set of replacements for r32 gtr (slotted) was going to cost me just under $700 from repco....

OK, well the $300 a pair DBA's were just the standard driving brakes, I don't even think they were an x000 series. But I just got word back from Perth Brake Parts in Welshpool and they do street and racing performance DBA4000 slotted rotors, front and rear for $195ea

They also recommended Formula Feroda brake pads for the front which were $130 a pair and just a cheap brand called Lucas for the rears which were $40 a pair (or $40 each, can't remember).

So yeah, if you are after the 4000 series, which are recommended for GTR's because they are a higher grade steel , give Perth Brake Parts a call. I also found out that it was the DBA4000's from Top Racing @ $500 a pair :)

Those bastards! I just bought a pair of ferodo formula's for the front and they charged me $150! (inc gst). The only reason I didn't quibble with it, was because I didn't have the part number to get a price from my contact that works at repco, and his system was showing 3 different part numbers all for the same year of gtr, for the same type of pads....*growls*
