Just a really quick/simple question for you all...

Slotted rotors - are they cast with the slots, or do they have the slots machined into a blank disc?

Reason i ask is i'm chasing some DBA4909 (DBA4000 Slotted rotors for R32 GTS-t) at the moment, and DBA have told the guy sourcing them for me that the only ones the have left in Stock in Australia is one pair of non-slotted DBA4000 rotors, and that they'll send them off to be slotted, and bobs your uncle... DBA 4000 Slotted Rotors?

does this sound right to you, or are they being dodgey?

Even better all up get slotted and dimpled from RDA!!!

DBA are a great brand and RDA aswell and i cannot tell the difference but RDA do slotted with dimpled rotors which are a one of a kind and if you get them off Ebay in the UK they will be here in a week and VERY! cheap. If you want them in australia be prepared to pay

I also think they are zinc plated to iliminate rust.

lol RDA = Rotors and Drums Australia. How crazy that they ship to the UK, sell it there and ship it back for less than you can buy locally. Having said that check the RDA group buy in the group buy section the prices are excellent

sorry im really new to everything with cars, I have spent time and money buying different Rotors for my 4door 34 ive had my rotors machined twice so im going to need to get new ones, ive tried 4 different sets, from RDA the ones they suggested i use and then ones off the actual measurements off the old ones, we got close on the last set, which im sure was 265 x 30 but i needed 265 x 25.

I was thinking of getting a blank set in the size and getting them drilled thats why i asked about drilling, but now im being told they dont do one off blanks. it was a year or so ago, just trying to remember the actual size, will get them measured in a few days once i get paid, all i know is RDA in the end couldn't help me, they went through their books and we tried what they had, i read another post a while back someone had posted up the measurements of a few different skyline rotor sizes but mine was not on them, so i left it for a while as the machining cleared up my shuddering again, all is still well at the moment but im sure within 6 months i will definitely be needing to change the rotors.

anyone ever heard of this problem, or know a solution?

whats an upgrade to GTT Brakes worth?

rda slotted rotors are sweet and great value for money. Only thing is that the zinc coating is crap n mine started to get that rusty colour pretty quick. Iv since removed them all again and paointed them all up with caliper paint on those sections (now also matches wheels n body colour)

so if you get the RDA ones make sure u do this unless you like the 'rugged rusty look'.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
