Hi all,

Last weeek Ben was over plugging in datascan to my car to chase a cold start issue. While he was over he pointed out my front rotors are up for replacement... Whats the best way to tell? Their is a lip on them but ive seen larger on other cars. Whats the minimum wear thickness for the front and rear rotors on a series 1 rs4v? They dont pullsate at all when coming to a stop.

Ill be replacing the fronts with 32 gtst slotted's as i hear their a direct bolt on and then the rears im unsure of.

Cheers guys.

Not sure of what the min thickness is for the rotors but just give a brake shop a call they'll be able to look it up and tell you what the min thickness is. I used S14 DBA slotted rotors on the front of my series one and I imported a set of Dixcel rotors for the rear from Japan, I used Japanparts.com to bring them in for me. I didn't get slotted for the rear but Dixcel do a slotted for the rear of the stagea. Dixcel also do a front slotted rotor as well (and if they price of their rear rotors are anything to go by then I'd say the front slotted would be cheaper than the DBA part, but I'd already ordered mine :P ) Go to www.dixcel.co.jp (use google to translate) and get the part number (can be a bit tricky to navigate) or just go to importmonster.com and search for them on there, they are always there. I found japanparts.com to be very fast and they got a good price too.

Chris, most rotors have the minimum thickness stamped into the hats so you can clearly tell when to have them replaced... Have a look at your rotors and you should see it stamped on there somewhere.

Ive got a set of slotted front rotors here, near new

for sale $100

:(

Dibs on rotors if mine a shagged... what are they brendan? Still plenty of k's in them? Any ideas what fit the rears? Were in need of a catchup anyway!

yeah they arnt going anyway matey

got them a year ago to machine down OD for the rears and make fit, but havent worried about it

rears are stock discs with bendix pads and maltech braided lines

these slotted near new rotors were taken off from a R33 front cut - it may have been GTR, I cant recall, or GTS-t

havent used them, just sitting here collecting surface rust. look new to me. also look same size, or close to it, to my current dba slotted front rotors.

trial fitment I say.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
