Im looking at the non Akebonos, so I assume they are the touring?

From the pic the calliper mount bolts look a long way apart. Is this what Spoolin needed the adaptors for?

If they r off a z33 then they should bolt up. I didnt know z34 came in anything but 4 pot akebonos...

These are from a Z34. So then maybe they won't fit then without an adaptor, its not worth the trouble of an adaptor for these brakes IMO.

I think the later Z33 came with a 2 piston single sided calliper but I can't seem to find them anywhere pinch.gif

These seem to be the only option I now have apart from slotted rotors and GSR pads for the stock M35 brakes.

Who has done slotted rotors and GSR pads for stock M35 and found the results?

Both Aaron and bigkev are running slotted rotors with hpx pad I think...

There are a lot of people on here, which is why I figured I'd start with that and see how I go.

I haven't fitted mine, still waiting for everything to turn up, but my setup will be:

DBA4000 Clubspec T3 rotors

QFM HPX pads

StopTech braided lines

Motul RBF600 brake fluid

The above kit is a nice bit of gear

Ive been looking at getting a set for my stagea.

If anyone is keen they are pretty damn cheap from the states.

They can be bought for under 1k delivered

Akebono Kit

With such massive brakes on the front end, surely your bias would be a bit off.

Well I got the 33GTST fronts today to fit to the 25G. They are 295 X 30, 2 pot. So they should pull up the Stag when the turbo is fitted.Still sourceing rear sway bar, its RWD, and front strut brace.

Actually they are 4 pot, so they are going on the RS4. Will see how the stock RS4 fit on the 25G.

I'm looking at upgrading my brake rotors on my Series 2 RS4-S. I want to put front & rear slotted rotors in with some decent pads. I'm keeping the stock calipers as I only use my car as a daily.

What brands/part numbers etc do you recommend oh gurus?

And if anyone could tell me the diameter I need too that would be a bonus.

Cheers!!

Pads are dead simple, I'd go Remsa in the front, which is what we supply as a trade servicing pad for high end Euro sports cars like Porsche, Ferrari etc and are rated to 650 degrees (versus 550 for something like Bendix Ultimate or QFM HPX), and QFM Super X in the rear. Remsa to suit front are $105 for the set, and Super X rears are $49.

Dixcel have direct replacement rotors for our cars (either standard or slotted)...but there are no distributors in Australia. This is according to Dixcel in Japan when I emailed them and ask about who is the distributor in Australia

As previously mentioned in here that you can get DBA rotors and machine the OD to match and fit the standard rotors (unless you've upgraded to R33/R34 rotors and callipers or you own a M35)

I'm looking for a set of Dixcel's locally but it's hard to find them and importing them in is expensive (due to the weight for shipping).

Whilst people in the know have ensured me that machining the OD of the disc is perfectly safe...IMO I don't want to chance it

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
