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.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
