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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
