Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these items for a good price?

RB74 pads - front and rear - R33 GTST

RDA slotted rotors - front and rear - R33 GTST

Motul RBF600 brake fluid.

Anyone know of a good caliper upgrade that doesnt cost a fortune.

Ive searched but results where limited.

cheers :)

Whereabouts?

Can you give me the individual prices?

thnx.

From Mercury Motorsport in Brisbane.

DBA 4963 SL & SR rotors $409.09

DBA 4908 SL & SR rotors $409.09

Ferodo DS 2500 DB1170 brake pads $227.27

Race Brakes Comp 2 DB1220 brake pads $122.73

The Ferodo's are very dusty, but they are an awesome set of brakes :). No fade at all even stopping constantly from high speeds (200+ lol).

I Highly reccomend them, also they make your wheels look heaps better being slotted :).

Thanks Shane. Gives me a rough idea on prices.

I sent mercury an email earlier today regarding there items.

I imagine they are closed over the weekend.

Also emailed racebrakes and discbrakes australia.

From the research I have done so far, I have discovered that RDA make a good quality rotor and are cheaper than the DBA's.

Havent found a negative response for em yet.

Id like to give them a go, anyone know some prices for the RDA's?

I can also get ferodas cheap from a supplier in the UK, but apparently they cant get rears for R33 GTST.

I'll kep them in mind though.

:)

Get your racebrakes pads from www.racebrakes.com.au

May as well get them from the people who make them.

Thats what I reckon - eliminates the middleman.

Im just waiting on a response from them.

Is there any other places that sell these items online or retail?

Cheers :)

I cant find the receipt but im pretty sure my rb74 for the front of my r32 gtst were about $150 delivered.

I got a quote for them via email, they were pretty quick. I think they replied in 1 or 2 days, a heap better than most companies out there who just bin all there email inquiries.

Thats a decent price. it'd be good to get away with upgrading my brakes and rotors for under 1K.

I know what you mean about most companies not responding.

Major potential loss of business in my opinion, probably got too much to deal with.

Thnx 4 da info.

No probs mate.

Never heard of RDA.

You'd be pushing to get the lot for under 1k (and then you gotta install them).

Will be interesting to see how u go.

RDA - Rotors and Drums Australia

There an Australian company and they are known on the forum.

Heres there site - www.rdabrakes.com.au

Im going to try and see if I can get a better price for a bulk deal (group buy maybe)

Should get the lot for under 1k and I'd install them myself to save $$$.

;)

Just watch out for RDA.. We have 4 cars here running RB74 2 cars with DBA and 2 with RDA..

The 2 with RDA are getting heat spots already..  one only done 2kkm and other only 3kkm..

Hmmm. Good to get some feedback.

Anyone else use RDA's and had the same problem?

Cheers ;)

I bought a set of rb74's for my front calipers (r33/r32 gtr) and they cost $160. Expect freight to cost just under $20.

Race brakes express posted them to me here in SA.

With my 2 way diff, and r33 rebuilt calipers up front, i find the rb74 pads on the front are a pretty good match for the rear when it locks up under braking....

Have you checked your calipers are working 100% to start with gR33dy? My tyres are now my braking weak point due to the brakes working as they should ;)

I havent had my calipers checked properly yet, although they feel ok.

I will probably get them rebuilt eventually or even some aftermarket ones?

And also upgrade the lines.

How much did the caliper rebuild set you back?

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
