will follow up...

However there are no correlations to where you are, you can be in Melbourne yet people in WA may get theirs first because when RDA receives the order if they know the WA branch has a stock close by it gets shipped directly from there instead from Melbourne warehouse.

Most likely you were not home when the courier tried to deliver, this had been 99.99% of the cases over the past 3 years

I work from home so I'm always here .. besides, even if I had just popped out for a minute (which is unlikely) wouldnt they leave a card ? If you could give them a ring and find out what's happening that'd be great.

.... Keep in mind that general OEM rotors normally have a lifespan of around 30,000 - 40,000km. My front stock V35 rotors were lipped and were already under the minimum thickness when the car landed with 49000km, so I would have estimated the previous owner in Japan didn't replace the rotor at 40000km service which was when it was suppose to be replace. I would expect RDA rotors also have a life expectancy around 30,000-40,000km just like OEM rotors.

I am not trying to be inflammatory, but when I got my R34 it had done 86,000km, and I am quite certain the rotors had never been replaced due to rust and lack of evidence of any mechanical work ever done to/around them. My car has now done 155,000km and they are on their way out but still going. So I have to disagree that OEM rotors are good for 30,000-40,000km.

Either way I am changing to the dimpled/slotted gold passivated rotors, which arrived the other day, and they look bloody awesome in the box!

I haven't fitted them yet as I am waiting for my QFM brake pads and brake rebuild kit to arrive, to do it all at once, along with some braided brake lines and custom caliper paint. :ermm:

as it happens I'll be at a different address from monday for about 10 days .. any chance I can have you give them the new address for delivery? It's also in Sydney.. so if they haven't sent it out yet, it'd be much better if I can get it at the new address.

It is probably already on its way. What I'll do is I'll grab the consignment number and you can ring the courier with that consignment number.

It's a lot easier that way.

Yeah mate I am getting the A1RMS.

Delta what do you think of the HPXs? They recommend I go A1RMS for a mildly hard driven street car (no track time).

my understanding is A1RMS is for track mainly ... ie. they're efficient at high temps. Since I don't do track, I've gone with HPX as they work better at lower temps too ie. street.

only if Falcon's PCD is 5x114.3mm by factory standard, and if Falcon's centre hole diameter is the same or bigger than Skyline. if not then it will be up to the end user to modify their hub to fit.

Reason is they don't do custom made rotors unless you're willing to buy a minimum of 120 pieces (60 pairs) in one order

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
