Someone mentioned a while back about a place that can slot your brake discs. Name, address, phone number and price please. I think they were in Green Fields.

And, should you get all 4 done, or is it ok to just do the fronts?

Black32 - but I am worried that might increase the front bias, whereas I would rather try to balance the car's braking, than make it worse.

Chapman - what is your next car? And how much cash adjustment are we talking?

I think from memory they charge $60 per rotor (or pair?) - not sure which - can anyone confirm?

Thanks Greg .... was there noticeable before and after difference in performance - or is it more for looks? Have you found your brake pad wear to have increased since you had it done? Cheers, Andrew

I'm keen to hear the answer on this also. :P

EDIT: Also Maxx, I've got another RB30E in the shed. :P

I did Booster brace and braided lines at the same time. Definetly works better however the test will be the next time I am on the track. Slotting for the road may not be real necessary however the slots allow the gases to escape better and keep the pads clean. The biggest improvement is oil and pads. I guess your pads wear more however I dont check these things just like I dont check fuel economy. Performance comes at a price.

yep you can do it from the little controller - it has a button to select high or low, and each of those settings has a little knob to set the boost. There are no increments on the actual dial, but you just turn it little by little to up the boost until you are happy. If you want to have a look at mine, PM and we can hook up for a look.

I had my fronts done at Race Oil Distribution  - 14 Watervale Drive  Greenfields.

that's PPG and K&A address :P

K&A just did mine stock rotors. Their CNC miller did a beautiful job.

You can order any slotting pattern you like. The more pattern the more noise and $$$. I had 6 slots.

I've not had them fully tested yet. I had some hot spots on the front rotor from some roads up the hill. After slotting and use on the road, these hot spots magically disappeared. There is no noise either.

Don't know mate, I am still waiting for a big bill :)

Just tell them I sent you. You might be lucky and get some discount :P

K&A uses Computer Assisted Machine and they will almost never stuff up your disc.

Slotting looks good and it's functional as well. Worth a try andy :)

atm it "should" be a r32 gts-t 4 dr

will be confirm in a week or so

if not something around 10-15 mark

a cheaper car i will driving around all the time and have maximum fun without worrying too much like the S15

Tin, would you be interested in a R33 4 doors with RB26DETT and 4 or 5 speed auto? Engine and gearbox fully rebuilt and should be good for high 11. Complete with engineering certificate and regency approval.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
