hey guys im after rotors for my gts25t (r33)

i went to a guy in north melbourne the other day and i ordered some, he called me back and told me he cant get them cos there out of stock. they wer DBA 4000 slotted for $180 ish.

does any one know where i can get rotors (DBA) or stock second hand with some meat on it cos i have been calling every nissan wreckers in the yellow pages and i only got one dude trying to sell them to me for 180,, second hand :(.

i only need them for road use. no track days. can anyone give me a idea on wer to go?

thanks, yusuf.

That's a whole set of four. Price may have gone up a little but there is nothing wrong with the quality or the braking feel or power. The disc s are wearing very evenly and no signs of cracking after 5 trackdays. Ask Duncan how well it was braking at Phillip Island last weekend, and on road tyres I have been outbraking HQ racecars at PI as well. I do use Racebrakes pads with no backing shims for better feel/less pedal travel and heel toe into the corners (with a different pedal pad setup) but the car is stable and well balanced under brakes.

Try this for an idea on price...

http://www.discpads.com.au

click on "Get Parts" on the left

That sounds like a great price. I'd be looking at something like that if the same shop was around my way.

Just out of interest what's no backing shim ? (or where does the backing shim sit?)

Thanks mate.

Most brake and clutch places can source them, the rears are apparently identical to a HSV model. I think they are RDA (rotors and drums).

The shims are a shiny thin plate that goes on the backs of the pads to reduce squealing but mine got warped at the back from the heat of running the rears to metal on metal at a trackday. The pads were half thickness but just disintegrated on the inside rears. Braking was still good on track but horrendous on the road with no heat. Braking feel is improved without them and they are about $200 new. Who cares about a bit of noise. They don't seem to squeal any more than before.

Pads and fluid are important as well. Racebrakes RD74 front and Comp2 rear and MOTUL DOT5.1 fluid.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
