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.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
