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.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
