Greenstuffs are great, and the slotted discs would be good too.

They wear the pads a bit quicker but apparently bite better and have less fade.

The cross drilled...........Mmmmmm, I 'heard' that DBA rotors that are cross drilled aren't reckomended for track work cause they have been know to crack between the drill holes.

Cool, so maybe EBC Greenstuff pads and DBA slotted rotors. Has anyone had any experience with the other types of EBC pad ? The car will be used mainly for everyday, however I can see in the near future that it will be visiting the track alot more often. Would any other color EBC pad suit this use better than Green ?

I would recommend RaceBrakes pads. I've currently got DBA cross-drilled brakes and RaceBrakes RB74 pads and could not be happier with them. The car has seen some track work with that set up too, even though it is a bit lighter than a skyline, I haven't had any problems with cracking. But for you, I'd probly say slotted discs, just to be safe

There's been some talk on PF and SDU ( I think) of the DBA cross drilled rotors cracking. They don't even do them for the GT-R anymore.

I was told by a guy that knows a fair bit about this stuff that slotted rotors are only really worth it for race cars when new pads are applied during a race.

The pads give off vapours when they are getting bedded in and the slots minimise the "hovercraft" effect of the gasses being trapped between the pad and disc. Not a prob for a street car, but a big thing during a race.

I will probably go with non-slotted when I get around to it. Even (shock, horror!) Nissan originals maybe! :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
