I am thinking I will go the RDA slotted rotors as mentioned above plus the QFM HPX pads.

Is anyone else running that combo? I would just go RDA pads green stuff), but a few people on here have said they aren't that good.

Then again, a mechanic I was going to get to do the install said the QFM pads are no good..... He said they need to get real warm to work ? ? ?

So I have no idea.

I won't be doing any track work or super heavy driving so I reckon the above combo should be good.

I got hpx on standard rotors. Work from cold. Not much heat needed. A1's need more heat but from what I've felt not much more.

I think the AR1M's are tough on rotors if not up to temp. I'll be going with the HPX pads when I do my upgrade.

They are, but they still work better than the EBC reds I had, even when stone cold. When they heat up (after one application) they are exceptional. My disks havent worn much at all in the short time I have had them on, I will let you know how they go but I wont be expecting 10 years out of them.

Im sure the A1RM's are much harder on disks when they are hot though, the noise they made on the disk sounded like an angle grinder when I stomped on them. lol.

Go the HPX's if you don't drive hard and run stock power though.

Sweet.

I will have stock power for a little while yet..

Still have to get:

boot mat (don't laugh, I know its not an upgrade but still a few $)

Brake upgrade (RDA slotted + QFM HPX pads)

BC Suspension

Rims and Tyres.

Then Intercooler/exhaust etc.

Of course, this is all pending approval from the Minister for Finance!

Huh? I am...I'm looking at aftermarket pads for them (the fronts) though...

Not sure how good the OEM Brembo pads are...probably nothing special?

oh. honestly after seeing scotts A1RM's in the GTR brakes, i was impressed!

seeing as they are locally sourced, and cheap as poo. I would be looking at them.

and they have em available on hand so you walk in and grab em and leave - but thats my opinion.

RDA Standard Rotors with custom slotting (curved slots which do not go to end of rotors) and dimples (as per RDA Gold Passivated Turbo Grooved Sports Rotors). Combined them with full set of Dixcel High Performance Street Pads ex Japan. What a difference to the standard brakes...Very happy :thumbsup:

Whats the theory with the custom slots? Whats the benefit from curved slots which dont go to the end of rotors?

I guess dimples are a good compromise over cross drilled? Dont crack?

Curved slots look cooler than straight ones. Ones that end before the edge are designed to reduce cracking (so they say). Cross drilled ones crack. No idea what the dimples are for if you have slots. Cross drilled are supposed to aid cooling and/or let gasses escape- dimples wouldn't do that. Slots themselves are useful in getting rid of gases, keep pads clean get rid of water.

I live in East Bentleigh, but can travel....

I need 350z brembo compatible front slotted rotors.

PM me if you need to...:thumbsup:

Scotty had a look at them and the front rotors were so rusted they are crumbling away :unsure:

What kind of price on 370Z rotors? I'm working on something at the moment...

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
