I've been reading the brake pad thread (ie http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Br...s-t169972.html) and really need new pads..

Does anyone know somewhere in Melbourne that is not going to stuff me around eg telling me the disks need machining even if they don't (but will if they really do!) etc? I'm a bit worried about going to a random Brakes Plus...

Race Brakes - they are in Yarraville - Google them.

I have only had great experiences with them - they have always been honest and upfront.

Also you dont always have to machine the rotors when you change pads, only if they require it.

My 2 cents.

-50 for Race Brakes :)

Can't be assed and didn't really seem to give 2 sh*ts about my car. Chipped my rim to when putting the centre caps back on.

Didn't even attempt to diagnose my brake issues and the guru's answer to was to put these 11ty billion $ Endless brake pads on ($400 or $600 a pair of pads, something ridiculous). Stay away

everyone has their bad days, i dunno. That was just my experience, it wasn't a nice one, it was a fairly sh*thouse one thinking this place was meant to be the bee's knee's...

oh, and to top it all off, Race Brakes had a deal going with SAU Vic, so here i am, paid member of the club of which Race Brakes has kindly offered to give discounts, and basically treated like a tyre kicker. I'm not expecting VIP treatment, but seriously, should at least look after club members if you've bothered to be a supporter anyway

he spent hrs sorting out things for me, trying to find a match, when he could of just said cant do it, i cant reccoomned Howard enough.

he told me SAU-Vic always promised to buy heaps but havent hehe

I've had good experiences with both Traction tyres and Race Brakes. I'd use them both again for sure.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
