Hey mate,

Nobody was home to recieve so i got a thing off tnt saying something was here. I'm pretty sure it will be the rotors, but i'll verify tomorrow when i get em re-delivered! :P cheers

Got mine today... delivered to my office. Damn they are heavy. Ended up carrying them from my office in the city, gone home by train and 15 mins walk from the station... nearly broke my arms in the process, but definitely worth it. Looks good.

Thanks heaps Rianto for organising this. You're a legend mate!

DD

Gee, DD You walked all the way carrying 2 rotors? I almost killed my arms when I carried my pair of fronts from office to car park which is only a 5 min walk. And some people gave me weird looks even though it's in a box, looks like I'm carrying a pair of land mines or something.

heslo's full set would even be heavier I suppose... but glad to hear they're all there safely.

Got them this morning and can't help starring at it for a whole day. :P Thx for the effort. Could we arrange a group buy for brake pads as well pls :(

i just got a set of bendix ultimate pads for my rotors when they come.

id like to get a set of EBC reds for the track thoe. ive been quoted arounf the $180 for them any idea on a price?

Morning Update 19/09/2006:

The following transfers has been confirmed & will be put through as order batch 2 today:

- lunaticR32

- Flash89

- 51OWW

- Beer Baron

- robbo33

- MintR33

- shozbot

- DJRIFT

- 180_mph

- justin911

Most likely this will come out in the afternoon and your rotors will be delivered by or even before Friday.

Cheers,

Got mine today and sweet jesus are they heavy!!!! Thanks Rianto, you are a bloody champ!!!

LOL! I catch the train to and from work. I ended up leaving mine in my office here yesterday, drove in last night to pick them up and had a bitch of a time carrying them down from the level i am in, in my building to the car parked on the road.

I'm just leaving mine in the boot till I get them fitted on Saturday.

I aint lifting them again! hehee

ahh plus my office reaked of the oil after locking them in here.

office manager was not happy. LOL

Missed my deliverytoday, unlucky timing we all went out for lunch :O (attempted delivery 12:00 noon)

They left me an authority to leave form for them but I'll have to be here because they will just get nicked from the front driveway otherwise. They are redelivering on Thursday.

Yes you can, but you realised by doing that no one can be held responsible if your item gets stolen... so its only safe to do so if your area is considerably safe or where they leave the goods is not easily visible or accessible from people passing by.

yeh definately brake pad group buy!

Yeah I want DS 2500 Feroddo pads - lets do a group buy!

I heard these are distributed in the ACT, anyone know their number or should we try importing them as a group buy?

i was looking at the same ones and would definitely be in on a GB for that...well i should say depending on the price

Alright, since there's not much interest after 2 batches of order submitted, I'm gonna close this group buy for now.

Once you've received your rotors, please pm me and let me know.

And I'll have a look at pads option and see if the savings they can offer is justifiable enough to start a GB on pads.

Anyone interested to go for the 3rd batch of RDA group buy (e.g. minimum of 10 people) please pm me and I'll start a new thread. In the mean time I can regain some good night sleeps >_<

I was told by my mechanic that the general rule is you should always replace pad when you replaced the rotors, rotors are too expensive to get scored by old pads that has poor surface, I didn't replaced mine but at that time of replacement on the front, the front pads were less than a few thousands km and there's hardly any grooves on the old rotors, so the pads were ok. I'm not sure if sanding or machining your old pad to obtain a flat surface will work just as good as new pad or not...

yes it said on the instructions to replace pads when fitting but i already had the wheel and old rotor off before i read that bit. :) wiped the oil off when i put them on. sqeal has stopped now anyway. bit of a hunt to find bendix advanced pads for skylines no one stocked them. luckily found some though. just need time to fit them now.

the guy at repco said that theres about four different sets of pads for skylines? said these might not be the right ones? the fronts are DB1165AD and the rears are DB1220AD. anyone using anything different? or does this guy just like to pretend he knows what hes on about?

Can you change do mine aswell? :angry::laugh:

Thanks received mine today,,....great group buy to the organisers :D:(

LOL. i'll help you if you want but im not doing it for you. smashed my thumb against the calipar when the bolt finally loosened :happy: dont wanna do that again if i can avoid it. but i'll watch you smash yours if you want some help changing them. :)

    • 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.
