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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
