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

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
