Project Mu make factory pad sizes in several types of friction material compounds. their 2 piece rotors ARE exy, but well worth it

ive combined RDA slotted rotors with project mu pads (NR and NS) and they were effing awesome. so much so that ive done it again with my stagea. i hope they arrive next week!

+1 for RDA slotted rotors! They are awesome - was a bit tight on cash when I needed new pads so I opted for Ferrodo Thermoquiets (front) and Ferrodo DS3000 (rear) and was extremely surprised at how good they were. Would still like to put on Project Mu's but will have to wait till I need em changed ;)

I did a track day with the RDAs and found em to be pretty good. Don't think you need to go cross-drilled / bigger calipers - 4 pots are more than enough for the street.

Good luck!

when they were hot the NRs made some noises, and dust was a bit of an issue. but they bit hard every time. this was on my S15s. they didnt squeal if thats what youre worried about?

This time ive gone for a lower temp pad because i wont be pushing the stagea as hard. there is a local seller too which is handy. Prices are pretty good IMO.

www.project-mu.com.au

if youre sticking with stock rotors, the series two V35s have larger brakes.

no i dont work there lol

Cool. I will look into those as well. As long as they don't squeal, it should be ok.

Thanks for the information, mate. I will post up when I made my choice.

Thanks Tarun.

Looks like RDA's are a good choice for many import owners. :)

$59 brembo's, if u just want the look. I was thinking about getting white ones but the look on my mechanics face when he would see them at my next service put me off.

It's good for the looks.

But nah, I think I will pass this idea. :ermm:

Had some covers on my car were fine for daily driving

one trip to the track caused them to melt lol so I pulled them off

About RDA rotors I had them on my car but they cracked on me after one track day

Ferodo DS2500 pads FTW however be carefull with them if you have VDC on at the track as they can chew through a rotor if VDC keeps grabbing one of your discs

I am not tracking my V so won't be having those problems. So you use Ferodo DS2500 pads with RDA rotors and stock calipers?

+1 on the Ferodo or Benidix, i had both and they are really good on with the non brembo stock calipers. As for the red look just go buy a can of caliper paint from supercheap auto and paint them any color you want

I had RDA with stocko pads however after a trip to the track the pads were gone "were replaced by nissan only 15k before the track day" and the RDAs cracked

now using DBA4000 slotted/heat treated with Ferodo DS2500 on the front, DBA blanks on the rear with Hawk ceramic pads also had my fluid flushed with MOTUL RBF 600 FACTORY LINE, using stock calipers.

Iv had no issues with this set up on the street. They work great on the track "much better pedal feel/no fade" however make sure you turn VDC off otherwise you will end up chewing the front left disc if your doing lots of high speed right hand turns and the reverse if your doing high speed left hand turns at the track

The sprint sessions I do at Queensland raceway are only 5 or 6 laps so the stocko calipers do the job just fine with the better pads/discs. However if I was doing more than 10 laps there may be a need to upgrade as I think eventualy the heat would get too much for the non brembo sized discs/calipers

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
