RDA and DBA are punched out from the same factory...

When i was looking up part numbers they were in the same book and under the same number :P

My brother runs ABS down here in Tassie and its interesting what i've found out while looking into brake/clutch upgrades/problems.

Then use the RDA. The DBA 4000's crack from the return slots. I have lost two rotors to this - one from & one rear & both with minimal wear.

What pads? I've cracked a few DBA4000's. I've heard but not looked up myself that RDA don't do 310mm replacement rotors for my car but considering trying to space out to 324mm to use R33GTR rotors.

Are there any standard sizes a little bigger than that I could maybe space out to? What do R34 GTR's run?

Pads, rears were Bendix Ultimates & fronts were Ferodo DS2500's. I will post up a pic when I get organised.

id prefer the rda over the dba slotted rotors. me and a friend went for a drive on the weekend down 2 nowra 4 the airshow same cars r34 gtts same brake fluid both have ebc redstuff pads only difference his car has dba and mine rda. i fitted and bled the brakes on both at the same time and when we were heading down there and we got stuck behind a horse float goin down the hill at kangaroo valley from moss vale and when we got 2 the bottom my brakes were fine but his had a bad vibration. we swaped cars and i drove his and the steering wheel was vibrating ab out 2 inches each way and it was hard 2 hold the wheel when braking but cleared up after a while of not braking 2 much. hope that helps.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
