Up and running again. Ended up having to rebuild my master cylinder as that dumped its seals at the same time... bloody thing is relentless. Bedded new brakes in and all seems good. Thanks again for providing this.

nope, sorry. RDA won't do it, unless you're willing to order 1 (forklift) crate consisting of 120 pieces of rotors as a minimum order, they will do it.

maybe you gather 60 owners of those who need blank rotors and share the cost?

Tom, Dav - quotes sent.

Dav0, if your post not enough to send me pm, email me: rsoputro at hotmail dot com

(replace at & dot - you know the drill).

Rianto, would it be safe to sand the midle section of the rotors (not where pads have contact) to get rid off the surface rust and then apply a very thin layer of fish oil to stop it from rusting ?

hm, even a thin layer of oil might splash and leek around - what if it slowly seeps on towards the friction area while the wheel is spinning @ 100km/h?

unless you're preparing for an auto salon or show and shine competition, I wouldn't bother doing it mate...

or if you want you can try finding any hub cover off the internet which is made of coloured anodised aluminium, which could be used to conceal the surface rust on hubs... just be careful that they're not too thick that they reduce the contact amount of your bolt thread.

would you be able to pm me with a quote for slotted rotors front and rear (if you could keep these separate that would be great, cause im not sure if ill replace my rears or just machine them.. all depends on cost) for a R33 GTS T ? Could you also include quotes for the green and red ebc brake pads, again for a R33 GTS T.

Thanks!

Are the rotors on it came off R32 GTR or are you just using the R32 GTR calipers?

If the rotors are off a R32 GTR, you can measure the front one's diameter across. If it's 297mm (around 30cm) then it's the early models 89-93

If the rotors are 324mm (around 32 1/2 cm) then it's off a 93-94 late V-Spec II model.

Hope that helps...

Hey mate, I am interested in a full set (front and rear) of standard slotted rotors to suit the R33 GTS-t.

Let me know how and when you want payment to be made and I'll make the arrangements.

Thanx champ. :bunny:

roland, quote sent..

Malz34, order added to the list...

RDA group buy 48 order list:

- aleks (payment cleared)

- Malz34 (waiting for payment to clear)

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
