I need new rear rotors for the money pit any recommendations?

RDA. Project mu if you feel like being fancy. You will probably need to upgrade the whole lot at some stage. The stock at up ain't going to be big enough! Ýou will end up with slowers rather than stoppers.

Greg's brakes off the blue thing... #@Sick_R31

Is he selling them? and will they fit?

Really?! Despite already having new AP six pot calipers at the front with 343mm rotors?!

I'm thinking that Bunts and I were assuming you had stock brakes on there. He isn't selling them, but I could borrow them :P Heheheheheheh :devil:

6 pot and 343mm should sort you out 355mm is bigger ;)

No worries. 355 will not fit under my 17in BBS LM rims.

Yeah stock size on the back should be fine. RDA or project mu

Will have a look at RDA. Heard that DBAs are also good.

I need to sell a bunch of s chassis parts to pay for my ecu. Not looming forward to dealing with those guys!

Yes the crowd is tuff especially on SAU!

Just had my daughter spew everywhere on the floor. I'm astonished at the amount of crap she threw up. Spent the last half hour cleaning that up. My epic nite!!!!!!.............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.............GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!...........RAHHHRRRRR!!!!!!!

Evening whores.

New brakes on the bug are awesome.

Tax will be spent on the skyline and a video card :)

Bodo are you one of those guys that sit late at nite playing GT5 or WOWC? Because if that's the case I envy you ;)

I won't bother on sau. I will go to a few parts selling pages on facebook and see how I go.

Anna and I are both crook too. Must be going around.

They are missing more in their brains than their cars chassis rail is missing

I have found eBay rather sucessful (if you don't mine the fees). But I guess Bookface may do as well.

Yeah even I'm on antibiotics. Fkn shitty winter.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
