Hey guys,

I checked the important links thread at the top but it only had "performance workshops".

Just wondering if any of you guys could please recommend me a trustworthy and cheap places for brake work. I will probably need them to find out what's wrong (hard pedal like the car isn't running and makes a metal scraping noise from the front calipers when brakes are applied) but mainly just need rotors to be machined, new pads installed, flush and bleed brake fluid, and to fix a snapped stud.

Thanks everyone. :D

maltech (in the white pages) are one of our sponsor companies and they do great service for all brakes and clutch related parts. they even come to your work or home and perform the work onsite for you. very good pricing too.

Race Brakes give SAU member discounts.

Howard is ace.

He had a Lancia Montecarlo, Fulvia race car and a Detomaso Mangusta in the shop last time I was there. Not to mention a Lotus Elise, Rarri 550 and a 1937 Cord speedster. That's cool.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
