Hey guys,

As the topic states, best brake places to get pads and machining done. I've called places like Midas and ABS and the minute they hear skyline $$$ in their eyes...

Where should I go to get my brake pads done at a reasonable cost? Who do you recommend?

Thanks,

Evan

I had my back brakes done about a week ago, Saturday morning, no booking required, good price.

Race Brakes Melbourne

2 Minnie St, Yarraville VIC 3013. Australia

Ph. (03) 9687-7222

I'd recommend them to anyone, plus they seem to like Skylines.

A place thats not bad... is brakes plus is Moorabin.. they stopped my squeaking... but if you need to get rotors.. id advise buying them off a group buy on here and then bringing it to them... they charge body parts for that stuff! but they use pads called qfms... no brake dust- very very minimal! really good

Cheers,

Adam

Yeah Traction are good, ive been there twice and (and will eventually get them on as a sponsor).

So 10/10 for me, i was very happy.

I just haven't had time but ive done initial ground work :D

hows the sponsor thingo going? last time i heard, kaz180 was unable to get in contact with them via email.

Would you want me to drop by there again with anything? I gave them a sau-vic card last time.

Race Brakes = :( verging on the ;) IMO, and other marque owners have commented the same to me as well

+1 for Traction Tyres, been there a few times. Prices are very reasonable for the work.

A good mate of mine is the manager of Midas on Nepean Hwy (gardenvale/brighton) He's done a lot of work on my car and def knows his way around Skylines. He's a kiwi and worked on a lot of jap imports when he was back home.

No bullshit, good work. Mention dan with the black 34 referred ya, oh and his name is Dan too

last time i was there they said they would be going to clayton, but i can't remember if there were going to be 2 premises?

nothing was mentioned about changing hands, although, i could def see the possibility of that happening.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
