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.

      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.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
