hey guys my gtr 32 is due for a brake service i have standard bakes all round on my r 32 gtr. pads are pretty worn down im unsure on what pads are in it. car is making close to 500 hp at 4.

are the standard drilled rotors ok to use again can you get them machined? and i am wanting to know what good pads i can put back in the car is a street car mainly might do a little track in the future.

I would ditch the drilled rotors and start off with a fresh set.

Cross Drilled rotors have less surface braking area and slight cracks will appear around the hole areas after many years.

Depends on how worn the rotors are, but if they are very worn, you can't machine them as they will get too thin.

DBA / Project Mu make good replacements for brake and rotor setups.

At the moment I run DBA 4000 rotors with Project Mu B Spec pads.

Quite good on price too.

Drilled rotors can crack, but if they're not cracked now and have plenty of meat left in them you may as well use them again. IIRC the rotors are 32mm wide new and 30mm is the wear limit. I never machine rotors at a pad change unless there's a problem with them.

whats the best pads to use if the discs have heaps of meat left and arnt cracked.

ps they have been working fine just getting low on pads but there is slight groves in discs etc

Depends on how you drive, and if you do any track days.

If you want a pad that can cope with a track day but not be too much for the street QFM A1RMs are great and cheap. If you're street only, then something milder than and A1RM should have better grip cold, and be kinder to the rotors. I've used EBC greens and they were great, but these days i'd probably try QFM HPX or the Remsas (See trader GSL Rallysport for both - also he can recommend a pad based on your usage).

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
