lol yea well u get to help me push it into the workshop so its a pain in the arse for u as well

i know we like them, i want some more opinions though :rolleyes:

comon guys, dont need to be an expert to have an opinion

:thanks:

I've had some on my car for about 3 months now but my cars not done yet so its been getting rolled in and out of the garage lol.

I'm running qfm pads, how about you?

Sorry I can't give you any feedback yet though

Ive got them on my car mate with ebc red stuff pads and hel braided lines made a huge difference! My car is only a gtst though they looked the best outta everything else i looked at so was sold purely on aesthetics lol

Standard size mate,

Yea I pretty much got them based on looks,

Running braided lines with remsa pads should be a good improvement hopefully

Haha!

Yeah it will be.

It will tighten up the brake response.

I've been running the RDA's on my car for a while cause they are inexpesive and don't crack under track conditions. I run A1RM's for the Street and Hawk Blues for track. Because both of these pads are super abrasive and I do about 4 track days per year I only get about 2 years from a set of rotors (or two sets of rotors for one set of race pads).

As long as you stick to street pads you should get good wear from them.

I think it is more the fact that the RDA rotors are a little soft

Correct.

Something like Project Mu SCR, or 4000 or 5000 Series DBA will last ALOT longer on aggressive pads due to their higher carbon content.

RDA (and indeed street series DBA and Project Mu CRD) are just basic street trade servicing items that have just been slotted for extra performance.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
