nizmokid: On the street you'd probably won't notice much difference.

Swapping disc alone won't immediately give you better braking performance,

there's a lot other factors you need to consider: pads, fluids, is your std

rubber lines getting old, etc. For example even if you have brembos but your

fluid is sh1t and pads are worn, it's not gonna work well.

What it does with the slots are you can expect getting a lot more consistent

performance after going hard for 4-5 laps (on the racetrack - not street, please)

which is due to better cooling and reduce of buildup dirt/gas/water between the pad

and rotor surface. But even if you don't take it to the track, on the street you may

have a little bit better performance in stopping if your other brake components

are in good nick condition. Plus it looks better, and good value for money if you

need to replace your worn out rotors

r33fourdoor: there's R31 GTS in the xls list. So I'll put your mate in.

$302.50 without 20-25% discount. See 1st post in this thread. I haven't got exact $ on freight, but they're willing to organise to distribute to the closest RDA branch in your major city so even if you need it delivered, a local metro delivery in your city wouldn't cost much.

Yeah why not put me down for a pair of front slotted for r33 gtst series 1, providing they will fit with standard wheels on there

hey im after a full set front and rear for a R33 GTR V-SPEC ( brembo's ),

324mm front and 300mm rear can tou posta cost or a pm please im very keen just in process now of buying

cheers mike

trick: i've put you in. will let you know final price after discounted, if you're not happy with it u can pull out of the group buy, no worries.

r33skyliner & operationsideways, list updated on 1st post

dd4321, I'll start with the ordering next week, so as soon as I've sorted out the price and payment, then perhaps it's possible to get it in the next 1 or 2 weeks.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
