*****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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
