Hello all,

I think its time my front brakes get freshened up, after some research ive decided to hunt down a pair of DBA 4000 series rotors, i have been quoted roughly 300 each though :P so thats 600 for the fronts only, arghh aint that rich just yet.

Where in perth can i find a better deal? If anyone knows, let me know, will save me alot of time looking around

im also stuck on what pads to run, if anyone wants to share their experiences with a decent set of pads id appreciate some advice on that also, basically dont want squeeling/excess noise but i want them to take a beating when duty calls

cheers.

PM Clint (Username: monga), his prices are really good on all his stuff :P

*EDIT* I also use EBC Greenstuff pads, I find them excellent! Really nice and quiet on the street, and still very very bitey! Haven't tried Yellowstuff but they eat into your rotors a bit more so I will just stick to Greenstuff seeing as my car is mainly a daily.

I dont know wtf pads i have on my car atm, but im sure as hell gonna try find another pair. I havent changed them in ages i.e. 1.5 years, they still have meat on them, no noise, not alot of dust, use the car every day and occassionally on the track.

I realise that doesnt help you at all, but i had to share.

i had some lucas pads on my r34, which had 32 gtr brakes up front, even though they were as dusty as hell, i was actually quite happy with the initial bite they had, however cutting down from high speed, wasnt all that amazing, or maybe i just want too much from my brakes haha.

excess dust is a bitch though, i thought id be able to put up with it, but it really does get annoying after a while

EBC are like $200+ for a pair of fronts, PASS. I suggest to the OP to actually read the braking/suspension so many topics on brake pads.

$300 each for slotted rotors for R33 gtr sounds about right, doubt you'll get much better than that.

I managed to source them for 180 each through my clutch supplier, it seems theres quite alot of mark up on these somewhere along the line :P. He told me he will have them in by 2 weeks though which is good timing for me anyway as my brakes at the moment are still fine. Getting my car tuned next week so I will have to just take it easy hehe

I have read the brake pad threads extensively quite some while ago but i just keep comming accross mixed reviews on the same product which confuse me, probably because everyone has different expectations from their brakes as their driving styles are different.

Thanks for the input though.

WOW thats good price , my 2 main suppliers are $229inc n $245inc . Might need to hook up with your guy , do 10k a yr in slotted stuff alone .. he must be paying about 140-150 ea inc :D

Haha i was scared of this, got people asking me who my supplier is now >.<

If your serious about it bart pm me and i can hook you guys up, im guessing you deal through Perth brake parts? i gave them a call and gave me the exact same price as what u wrote above.

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
