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.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
