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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
