You can buy direct replacement rotors ... bit over $200 for a front set, direct bolt on no mods required.

www.dba.com.au (Disc Brakes Australia)

or

www.rda.com.au (Rotors & Drums Australia)

I just got a set of RDA front slotted rotors for my Supra for $240.

Thanks I know and will do when mine are worn out. Howerver maybe a hundred dollars as against nearly $500 is just too much of a step up atmo.

Thanks Kym

Getting them slotted at K&A for $60+GST. They didnt need a machine however would cost an extra $40. So happy with that price.

By the way when is the motor going in. Want to sell the short motor.

is the above price include labour of taking the rotor off the car?

cheers

Nah pulled them myself. It is dead easy. DIY on here I think may help. Pull off your wheels, two smaller bolts hold the bracket to your lines, two larger bolts hold on the calipers, slide off the calipers and fold behind as lines can now move, then pull off the rotor. To do it right there are two bolt holes to release the rotor however a rubber mallett taping the back will do it, they may even pull off by hand. If there are two white plastic locators on there they pop off with the rotor

nice .... how long did it take them to do them?

I took them in on Wednesday and got them back today at lunch. However I rang them to find out if they were ready. I also said no rush. It depends how much work is tooled up at the time of dropping them off. If you work it out with them it should be able to get done in a day.

I thought it also stops a layer of gas forming between the pad and the disk (during hard braking) which reduces the coefficient of friction. The slots allow this gas to vent and thus improves the efficiency of the system.

Secondary benifits include a cleaning system which aids in removal of impurities from the disk, pad or local environment.

The disadvantage is slightly quicker pad wear.

That as well

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
