*****WA ONLY SORRY******

Hi all,

One of the forum members here in WA, Dsturbd, has kindly offered to hook some members up with a great deal on brake components, in particular DBA 4000 slotted rotors and matching performance pads. I know i'm in need of some and a few people have also expressed a casual interest so I figure a group buy may be in order.

Pricing has not been confirmed yet and obviously depends on numbers but bank around $250 each rotor and $65 for a set of pads. (Purely guesses)

If you are interested, please note your interest within this thread. I'll post more info on products and pricing when available.

Products:

DBA 4000 series Slotted rotors (no cross drilled as they tend to crack)

Bendix Ultimate Pads

Greenstuff Pads

Feredos Pads - apparently better than greenstuff

Prices:

Rotors - $245 each (4000 Series)

Pads - $45 set (Bendix Ultimates)

Pads - $230 set (Greenstuff)

Pads - $180 set (Feredos)

Fluid - $65 litre (Elf Brake Fluid)

If you would like to place an order, please PM dsturbd directly.

:D

Dave

yeah, that's them, the big shiny metal discs. I'm particularly looking at the slotted rotors as these will dissapait heat quicker than standard rotors. Won't necessarily pull you up harder. Pads will do that. A combination of good pads and good rotors = better braking. Good pads + stock rotors = slightly better braking though also.

If you want more info on the actual product go to http://www.dba.com.au

:D

just be aware you have to get correct series

one of the DBA skylines series has a known warping issue with general road use on a skyline. They last on average 4 weeks then u need a new set.

the 4000 club spec series are teh goods though got them on my car very happy with them

One question: Slotted AND cross-drilled are prone to cracking? WTF ?

How the hell can all the rally cars/supercars use cross-drilled if they are prone to cracking?

If the stock rotors were drilled then I'd probably agree, but aftermarket (and specifically designed) drilled rotors should be better, and cracking shouldn't be an issue...

Anyone shed some light on the subject?

Plus the fact that slotted/drilled look WAY more horn!

Driver, yeah, you can use stock calipers.

Kym, from what i've been told, the cross drilled rotors work better when hot, and kept hot (like in circuit racing/rallying etc.) rather than constantly warming up and cooling down like they would on a street application. This apparently causes them to crack. However, i'm no brake expert but that's what i've been told. Of course it could be :bs!:

Judged, yeah, rears as well i'm sure. I'll confirm with Dstrubd, next time he's online.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
