I swear my RDA slotted rotors are getting, what I can only describe as "hot spots" on them

post-58049-1279600621_thumb.jpg

Cant really see them in the picture, but they are like a dark shadow.

bet you had some grease on your fingers when you installed them ????. pull the pads off , give them a (pads) quick file off and feather the corners to stop chatter and squeal , and spray on some brake cleaner while your there. light sand in a random fashion , reinstall , should reseat within a few blocks. remember you brakes will be low for the first go...lol

pm me if you want a more detailed version..lol

Gee, only 65,000km on the dash .. *cough*

R34 GTR MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY VSPEC II VER. (WORTH $2500)

weird, I didn't pay near that for the one in my car ... Given all the other items they've quoted costs for, they really seem to have an over-inflated opinion of what adds value to a car.

3.5INCH FRONT/DUMP PIPE (CONNECTED TO A SCREAMER PIPE FOR FASTER TURBO SPOOL)

Aren't screamers illegal?

TBH, the entire car seems like a big sign saying 'defect me' - but eh that's my view. Hope they don't live in SA or VIC or they like bending over ... Lots of threads saying it's impossible to get a RB30/25 conversion through EPA in Vic without spending $3k per test (which you could fail). Ah well ...

im going with the probably just dirt theory. unless youre a secret midnight uber street racer, theres no way youve been going hard enough on your brakes to hotspot the rotors abe.

actually, i should go take a pic of a my ats clutch so you can see what a proper hot spot looks like, lol.

lol, watching a doco on how they build the Corvette Z06:

"The Z06 has cross drilled rotors. These holes help the engine gases escape faster"

lol. i remember hearing that when i watched, i lol'd. other than that, its a good watch.

heslo! just so u know...

paul said my head was one of the cleanest and un scathed he has ever seen!!

oh and my engine is finished! WOOOP

Fantastic Adrian, like I said, that car and motor was well looked after.

What happend? Oil patch? to fast? someone needed there hair cut down the creek?

f**king LOL!!!!

And none to all of the above, car just understeered off the face of the cliff.

And Dave, yes, he knows

May have had grease, but after installing, I sprayed them with brake cleaner and then washed off with water, I'll have a look tomorrow. I have some copper grease to try and help the brakes from squealing, if the weather is good tomorrow I shall try and do it.

Just a question to the SAU sa execs..

A few weeks ago, Damo said for me to fill out the correct information for a registration form, and all would be sorted. So i emailed my information to sausa's hotmail address, paid the fee's, and have not heard back.

If somebody from the exec team could inform me as to what is going on..that would be awesome.

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
