Hi All, It's been a while since I've organised previous 5 group buys here on the forum. Work has been busy and many things have happened (including a fire at work where I almost get toasted). But all is good now, and let's not get side track and let's get on with it. Following the success of previous 5 batches of RDA rotors group buys, RDA told me that the previous pricing will stand, with condition discretion is a must. That means no posting on the discounted prices on public forum as they also need to protect the interests of their authorised dealers. All discounted GB prices will be quoted to you via pm and is for your eyes only, not to be broadcasted to other public forums. Currently there are only two types of rotors to choose as below: Standard Slotted Rotors Grooved Dimpled (Dimpled & Slots) - Gold Passivated - more rust resistance More info can be found here: RDA Brakes Products The following are the parts which I can get access to for most Nissans: Sloted Rotors: 1. R32 GTS-t/Z32 300ZXTT: F=909S 280mm RRP $170, R=908S 297mm RRP $190 (Front can be used for S15 Silvias) 2. R32 GTR (early models): F=7926S 296mm RRP $305, R=908S 297mm RRP $190 3. R33 GTS-t: F=7693S 296mm RRP $305, R=908S 297mm RRP $190 4. R32 GTR (late model)/R33 GTR/R34 GTR: F=7701S 324mm RRP $355, R=7702S 300mm RRP $355 5. S15 Silvia: F=909S 280mm RRP $170, R=906S RRP $165 Grooved & Dimpled Rotors: 6. R32 GTS-t/Z32 300ZXTT: F=909G 280mm RRP $305, R=908G 297mm RRP $285 (Front can be used for S15 Silvias) 7. R32 GTR (early models): F=7926G 296mm RRP $440, R=908G 297mm RRP $285 8. R33 GTS-t: F=7693S 296mm RRP $465, R=908S 297mm RRP $285 9. R32 GTR (late model)/R33 GTR/R34 GTR: F=7701G 324mm RRP $575, R=7702G 300mm RRP $525 10. S15 Silvia: F=909G 280mm RRP $305, R=906G RRP $285 *) All RRP prices above are per pair, GST inclusive however they DO NOT INCLUDE delivery costs. At the moment I STILL could not get any parts of the 310mm front rotors for R34 GT-T, so R34 GT-T owners will have to find their rotors from DBA. Sorry about the inconveniences. Usually, once there are more than 10 people I will submit these orders as 1 batch. Deliveries all around Aust in 2-3 bus days via TNT courier or similar. No pickups as with the discounted prices that they gave us for at least 20% off retail, they'd rather concentrate on slotting/preparing/shipping out rotors than spending numerous request to pickup at this day, this time, this branch, etc. Delivery cost are a few bucks more than compared to 1st & 2nd batches where we had a few ppl having to wait out over a week, this was improved by using TNT or similar quality service which cost a few bucks extra but most people in 3rd & 4th got their rotors within 3 days, and worse case a week if no one at home and TNT could not contact the person. 6th batch is now open until Monday 4/12/2006. Pm me for quote and if you're ready to transfer payment, as soon as I have 10 people I start submitting the order to RDA, e.g. Wed/Thu, then you may get your rotors by Friday or early following week, so don't wait till last minute if you need it faster. For those who I have given some quotes in the past couple of weeks, I will pm you to let you know this group buy is going ahead. Those of you who already have a quote and ready to transfer will definitely get processed first. If I have around 10 transfers cleared by this Friday, I will submit those first. Regards, Rianto

Hi, maybe in a week or 2. Right now I'm too flat out at work. Office caught fire, with me the only one working on weekends and single handedly fight the fire till the brigade arrived, jobs were delayed, so lotsa sh1t happening this week...

As per my correpsondence with RDA all these times the only ones we have for R34 GT-T is rear rotors which is the same as R33's Do you have an exact Part No and rotor dimension, that might help a lot.

Hi Guys, Just for "quality control" check do any of you from the following batches have not received your rotors? 3RD BATCH - Paragon - turbo87 - pssht - GTshortie - Will20b 4TH BATCH - JSWR32 - Leech Can you pls confirm whenever it's convenient...

They did it on purpose as of not to disclose the special price only available on SAU forum. Otherwise they will have issues with their big customers ringing up unhappy because they can't beat our prices. Regarding how they balance their book, it's their internal thing to sort out.

Great to hear guys... anyone from 3rd batch who has not received their rotors by this friday let me know via this thread or pm and I will follow up with RDA. There were 3 people who misses out the 3rd batch as the transfer went in late but your orders has been submitted yesterday afternoon and RDA will ship them out today: - JSWR32 (R32 GTR front 7926G) - Leech (R33 GTSt rear 908S) - NRB (R32 GTR front 7926G)

I will try my best to attend quote requests but this week I'm quite overloaded in my daily job so I won't launch any next batch until sometime next week until work calms down a bit, as I'd rather not make small mistakes with part numbers and prices.

Glad to see they started to arrive (finally!) I hope they don't run out of stock for the 4th batch like they did in the 3rd batch.

AWDMAT, looks like it's gonna be shipped out from keysborough on Monday 9 Oct 2006. igota33 - sorry for the wait, they ran out of 908S and didn't tell me till Wednesday last week, and I thought Wednesday they had finished all the 908S, in fact they just received fresh stock and started slotting the rotors and didn't finish them all till Friday. And in the mean time they put the whole 3rd batch order on hold regardless if any individual person had a 908S in their order or not. I will call them again Monday to make sure that the 3rd batch does get shipped out Monday.

Apologies to all in 3rd batch. I misunderstood what Scott wrote me in the email on Wednesday, as I thought he has processed them all, but they had just received them, and they have just finished slotting the rotors now and missed out on delivering them tonight by TNT. All rotors should be sent out by Monday and hopefully shouldn't take TNT too long to deliver them to you.

RDA has finished slotting all the 908S rotors, and they will start processing the orders from tomorrow. Sorry about the delay. They didn't tell me until when I called them this morning wondering what's the delay was about. FYI I will start the 4th batch now, hopefully if everyone can get orders in by Friday, I can submit it ASAP for next week's 4th batch deliveries.

Just a quick morning update, the order has been submitted, and RDA is working hard now to get the new arriving stock of 908S rotors slotted. There are a lot of 908S orders in the current 3rd batch and they were running a bit low on stock, but new stocks have arrived. They promised they will get to finalise everything by end of today and start shipping by tonight or tomorrow... Sorry to anyone if this cause inconveniences due to a deadline to join a track day or any other events.

Yes, sure, I'll send the quote via pm.

Thank's for all the feedbacks. I tried to put a feedback for each one of you who left me one, but for some reason it gives me a database error when I tried to leave feedback for 2 or 3 of you, so if you don't receive my counter-feedback, means you're the one I'm having the database error.

Hmm, you have R32 GTS4 with GTR Brakes... is it the 296mm from early model R32 GTR or the 324mm from R32 GTR V-Spec (1994) ?

Evening update 29/08/2006 Batch #3 has been submitted (12 people), but since it's late RDA would probably process it first thing Monday morning. Sorry for the delay but I was waiting for the last 2 payments to clear through. - Silver gts-t (Front R32 Gts-t slotted pair 909S) - AWDMAT (Rear R32 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - woolls (Rear R33 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - igota33 (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - turbo87 (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - Paragon (Front S15 slotted 909S & Rear S15 slotted 906S) - GTshortie (Rear R33 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - Will20b (Front R32 Gts-t slotted pair 909S) - psshht (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - onedollarodent (Front R33 Gts-t grooved pair 7693G) - Wrr (Front & Rear R33 Gt-R slotted pairs 7701S & 7702S) - Sl!m (Front R32 Gts-t slotted pair 909S) Anyone else after these 12 will have to settle sometime next week...

pm me what u're after Rob32T, I can give you a quote and you can think about it whether you want to join the next one...

Evening update as of 28/9/2006 9:20pm: The following 10 people and orders are confirmed: - Silver gts-t (Front R32 Gts-t slotted pair 909S) - AWDMAT (Rear R32 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - woolls (Rear R33 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - igota33 (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - turbo87 (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - Paragon (Front S15 slotted 909S & Rear S15 slotted 906S) - GTshortie (Rear R33 Gts-t slotted pair 908S) - Will20b (Front R32 Gts-t slotted pair 909S) - psshht (Front R33 Gts-t slotted pair 7693S) - onedollarodent (Front R33 Gts-t grooved pair 7693G) I will submit the 3rd batch tomorrow morning.... And any of you above that may not be at the delivery address during weekday daytime, it's better to leave your daytime contact number ASAP... (Some I already have daytime numbers: turbo87, ondedollarodent, igota33, will20b you guys r fine) Anyone not listed in here I can organise a 4th batch by end of next week...

It's not as bad as it looks. Remember R33 GTS-t is a much heavier car (1360-1390kg) and 185kw from factory, thus require bigger brakes to stop compared to the much lighter S15 Silvia with only +/- 1240 kg and 165kw factory rated power. That's more than 120kg of mass on the R33 that the brakes need to work harder...

Paragon, I double checked. As well as do a DBA cross-reference part no check. Your S15 front rotors is 909S (280mm). The price I gave you was correct, I just mis-typed it last night when I put your name on the list in those post above. pshht, yep a branch deposit was noted on my account, should be fully cleared by tomorrow.

Fixed, S15 fronts part no is 909, R33 rear part no is 908. S15 fronts diameter is 280mm, R33 rear diameter is 297mm
