Hey guys on my 32gtst the breaks are totally warped... they have been machined too many times and it looks like the discs will need to be changed...

firstly does anyone know how my discs got so warped to begin with?

and when it comes to changing discs, is it a big job. ive never changed discs b4.

would anyone know of some half decent disc i should get. something better than standard

Dont use DBA4000s if you intend to track it - they will probably crack, see HERE

Make sure the mating surfaces are completely clean when you install the new rotors (ie between the rotor and hub) otherwise they will feel warped.

You'd shouldnt ever need to machine rotors unless something really bad has happened. If you're replacing pads just sand the surface until its dull before installing the new pads.

whats all this crap about not machineing skyline rotors, thats the biggest load of crap ive ever heard, you should be machining your discs whenever you replace pads so they bed in properly, and they get warped by things like getting them hot then having to sit at traffic lights with your foot on the break, thats why when you finish your ;aps at the track you dont put your handbreak on you just let the car sit there so they can cool down with no uneven pressure, yes they are floating, not need for torque specs. and after time your rotors will get glazed, thats one reason for squeal and another reason to machine them when you get new pads, when they wear they dont wear flat they will get grooves in them, if you just scratch them up a bit you wont make them flat, then when you put your new pads in they wont be contacting the whole surface and will wear unevenly.

also your disc will warp easier the thinner they are.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
