Where Can I Get Brakes Done In Melbourne?

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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
