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!!

Search or read what many have put here :whistling:

as this has been covered many a time :thumbsup:

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

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
