Grex Brake Rotor Direction

Is the groove direction on the Grex brake upgrade rotors (6pot front, 4pot rears) the same front and rear? If so, which direction do the grooves run? I have had the brakes installed but the front grooves lay back and the rear grooves lay forwards. And this is how the brakes are stamped left and right.

Thanks.

(from memory the grex 6 pot set on the supra had l or r on the rotor or an arrow) and ours cut from out to in..... i will ring trust (and open the box of gtr ones i have in the warehouse) now maybe the pics above off the site are for demo only..... the pics in the GREDDY book face out to in... opposite from the website :P talk about confusing.

the best way to check as many brands are differrent is by looking at the internal cooling grooves in the rotor some are unidirectional some are not.

brembo sweep out to in.

OK this is the official G-O from the GREX dude at Trust;

Greddy swapped rotor designs not long ago so some kits include reverse rotation rotors and normal rotation (not side to side but differrent rotation set front to back). As i mentioned earlier all the rotors are marked L or R (some have a L or R as the last didgit in the part number on the rotor bell) The internal design designates L or R so best bet is to check the rotors and run them as marked.

ok put aside all the business of wich way the slot is facing.

you need to install them so the internal vanes are laying back. like <--------- rotor direction, vanes = /////////// so the inside of the disc sucks the air from the inside of the diisc. but you would know as your buying an alcon brake package and have some idea on brakes :thumbsup:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      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.
