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'.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
