Yeah I gotta get mine replaced so I'll be lashing out for a set of RDA front slotted rotors too. Theyre not as expensive as I thought they'd be either.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Seriously?! Yeah!! Slotted are a shit load better than just standard.

Improved stopping distance, improved feel, etc. I even went from a cross-drilled set to a slotted set and noticed a huge difference.

They improve braking power, basically. That and a good set of pads!

Most properly modded street cars, you'll find with slotted rotors. As well as all the HSV's and FPV's that came out the factory, and a few BMW's.

everyone going slotted?

curious, do slotted rotors go through pads faster than standard flat rotors?

Well for me Damo the slotted rotors feel a whole lot better

i havent noticed much brake pad wear but only had them in for like 4 -5 months now

plus i had to go slotted as you can as luke (enr_034) how stuffed my stock rotors were mate

if anything they make the pad last longer. they do have more bite which increases wear but the groove also assists in cleaning the brake dust off the pad and venting it out so its not actually trapped between the rotor and the pad, and that itself helps the pad to stay alive a bit longer...

You'll still have benefits with cross drilled however many cross drilled rotors are prone to stress fractures due to the fact that they are drilled after the rotor is forged, whereas the slots are actually shaped within the forging/casting process. You'll notice RDA also have the gold passivated rotors with slots and 'dimples'. The dimples are done during casting and dont go the entire way thru the disc, so theyre much hardier. cross drilling isnt so useful for street work (lets face it, its there for cooling so its mainly for racers)... slotted is more than enough for any street car.. if your slotted rotors aren't doing the job on the street, then thats the time you consider caliper and disc diameter upgrades... or switch to a prius

I've already added a cusco brake cylinder brace and braided brake lines and those two improve the feeling/response of the brakes quite a bit. The new rotors should really seal the deal, I can't see myself needing bigger calipers or disc diameter...

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
