HI

My rear rotors are crossed drilled and have a bit of a groove on the edge. Before putting new pads in i wanted to get them machined; but they are crossed drilled and wondered if they are still able to be machined to make em flat.................any ideas ?? if so who in sydney does em?? If not why NOT! :)

what did they look like before they were machined? if they looked like that before hand and the shop didn't also smooth the pads off then that explains why they look like that now.

also comes down to what the pads are like (quality and compound) as well, because if they are a lower quality then a track day is going to cause wear like that even if you had new rotors on there

Hey guys

thanks for all input. I got in contact with a brake place and said he could machine them as long as they are below the legal limit.

MOODLES" did the compliance dude machine them and then put your old pads back on?? looks like it!

I will be taking mine off and taking them in to machine shop; then fit my QFM 500's.

I have fitted QFM 500 to fronts (without maching disks cause they were ok); but my rear disks had a little lip around the edges......so i though to maching them a little before i put my new QFM's on rear.

But put it this way; with my new 18 by 9.5 LMGT4's (on R32) and new front brakes; Im suprised that its already pulling up better than what ever brakes were on there (bendix i think) and stock rims.

Only problem now is that with 265/35 tyres there rubbing on the rear gaurds :D ....

......I think i need to roll guards............???????????

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.

      Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
