Hey folks ! I am looking into a break service on my Ecr33 and I ran into a dilemma concerning my front rotors options. Id like to have the same brand on all 4 corners  but since I am in Canada I have a hard time finding the 296x30 front rotors . My local speed shop can get me either DBA / Dixcel or BREMAXX . Now for the price of the 2 fronts on either DBA or Dixcel he can source me all 4 rotors and pads from Bremaxx. I try to search them online and only thing that seems to come up are Ebay AU auctions and I cant find a webpage or any other information on this brand. Any of you guys have had experience with this or any other suggestions ?

I think it is very simple.  DBA are not expensive brake parts.  They are not at the bottom of the price lists, but they certainly are not expensive.  (For proof, look at how many kidneys you have to sell to buy equivalent Brembo or Project Mu rotors!).  And DBA are known to be very good quality.

Bremaxx.  Never heard of them.  But given the choice of spending a small amount of money on unknown mystery quality brake parts, or double the money on known good quality stuff, I don't even ask the question.

Yea , DBA was my first pick also. They must be cheap for you guys since the company is local but with the import and currency exchange they are about same thing here in Canada as the other brands. I do know that some products are not available here and since I only seen the Bremaxx for sale in Australia I was wondering if you guys heard of them. I'm used to seeing overpriced stuff here in Canada so I cant really make a judgement based on the price and that's why I asked.

 

Thanks for your input !

Bremaxx sounds like some Chinese rotor, probably fine for easy street driving but would expect them to start warping with decent heat pumped into them.

Considering you're in Canada (big temperature swings), I'd spend a bit more and get DBA.

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
