Hey guys after a little bit of a play with the SAUQLD guys today @ Qld Raceway I have found a new love for me car but I found a few things I want to upgrade. What I want to know is what is a good rotor & pad combo for track work & light daily duties?

Also what would be better as far as swaybars goes? Front 27mm non adjustable or 24mm blade adjustable & what would be a good match for the rear?

My swaybars are 27mm front blade adjustable and 24mm rear blade adjustable.

Brakes are DBA 4000 and pads are QFM A1RM and work well.

For the brakes give GSL Rallysport a call :)

A1RMs are a good pad, but will probably be tougher on rotors when used for regular street driving, and they have less bite at street temps. I swap in A1RMs for track days then swap the steet pads back in after.

On the old Legnum (with Evo brembos) and on My Cossie I run DBA4000 slotted rotors with Project Mu pads (B-Spec front, Type-NS rear), love the combo and it seems to hold up well under both street and track conditions.

Where'd you get the 27mm blade adjustable swaybar from? & do you have any trouble with brake fade?

No brake fade..... Sydney kid helped me out with the swaybars, they are Selby Swaybars.....

Not sure how tough the pads are on rotors but should probably run 2 sets of pads if that's the case, be interesting to know more about the new pad mentioned?

I have front & rear sway bars arriving any day now for my GTT. I ordered thru Daleo, great bloke with lots of knowledge. I asked for selbys, but he informed me they were taken over by fulcrum suspension and have become really expensive, around $400 per bar!! So he steered me towards whiteline, which i jumped at and paid $460 for both!! Only thing is the 27mm front bar that i originally was after isnt adjustable, so i opted for 24 front and rear, both adjustable.

He also suggested changing the ball links to heavy duty, which i ordered with the bars.

If you need more info or wanna ask any questions, ask Daleo, cant go wrong.

DBA4000 Slotted with Project Mu B-Spec pads on my 34. Love the combo to bits. Fine for day to day driving, haven't experienced any serious fade on the track.

As for sway bars, most of the guys in the club swear by whiteline gear. Give Dan down at ERD a call, he tends to know what he's talking about :)

On my last R34 I ran DBA4000 slotted rotors on the front with Remsa pads all round. I tracked the car on a monthly basis & I had no brake fade.

They were still great for the street & didnt chew rotors. Greg from GSL recommended the pads to me. They are also less than $90 a set.

I'v put a set of Remsa's on the front of my new R34 & I am still running factory rotors. Iv done 2 happy laps so far & no fade.

My resmas were pretty much gone from a semi-hard day at winton one hard day at sandown.

In a gtt with about 180rwkw at the time

Yeah mine only saw 30 minutes of hard abuse at a time. A full day would chew through them for sure.

That's them. Remsa are what he recommends in place of A1RMs.

He says the Remsas are between the HPX and the A1RMs, so i'd assume the recommendation would/should be in place of HPXs.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
