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.

    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
    • If there's oil in with the clutch, I hope it finds its way out even if that hole has a cover/grommet 😛 I don't want oil near my cars clutch! 😛 Interested to hear the answer about covering it, I'm assuming a bung for a gearbox from another car that has a grommet to suit.
