Hey,

Has anyone purchased these brand rotors? If so what was the part number of the front slotted rotors (For the R32gtst) and how much did it set you back?

Any general comments about this brand? A lot of items are half the price of DBA's and I have only heard good things about it (Also its Aussie company).

RDA909 is the base part number. From memory, I think you might add an SL for slotted. Anyway the shop you order them from should know what you are talking about if you say you want RDA909 slotted.

Should be somewhere around $170-$200 for the pair.

I was talking to a mate who has a set of slotted rotors on the front of his R32. He mentioned he had a set of DBA's or something where the slots were straight, he said when jumping on the brakes really hard at the end of Mallala straight.you could feel the slots pulsate/vibrate a tad.

He ended up getting a set of std rotors and had them slotted with curved slots, now he has nice smooth braking.

For the price of RDA's.. straight slots.. I care less. :laugh:

Bit of a wank factor every time you feel the 'slots' lol. :)

I use RDA slotted on my gts25t racecar and prefer them over DBA as the slots go all the way through without the afterthought reverse slot DBA have.

Never had a problem with vibration or pulsations using RB74 pads and braided lines with a massive stopper so I expect it would be a rotor with an area of cementite transformation due to a hard braking moment and then not getting off the brakes while stopped. I feel the feedback from RE55S semis more than anything anyway.

RDA have a new option with curved slots and dimples (not drilled through) for GTR so may be available for GTSt

The current range of RDA/EBC Brakes is known as the "turbo groove" which uses curved slots and a dimple design rather than cross drilling. According to EBC using the dimple eliminates tiny hairline cracks that can form with cross drilled brakes.

I would like to buy some for my R33 GTST where's the best place and for how much? ;)

Andyn,

I got myself a complete set some months ago for my R32 GTR. I have had no problem with them although i am running Project U level 900 pads now so i know they will be harder on the disc than the Bendix ultima pads iwas running but they could just not stand up to 3 track days :thanks:

I got mine from ABS and i paid 710$ for the complete set for the GTR.

I used these on my 32 with EBC Greensuff pads and was VERY impressed. Makes for an awesome street setup and works great for the occasional weekend warrior ( but no good for the hard core track junkie ). I would have stuck with them if I knew where I could get more ( I now know ). Some people complain that they wear out too fast but IMO, it wasn't that bad and the stopping power and lack of brake dust was worth the wear rate.

:P

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
