I just got a quote back from a workshop, not including labour, for the following:

Slotted Rotors x2 - $500 (no idea what they are yet)(or I can wait 2 weeks and get 2xDBA slotted rotors for $300)

Pads x2 - $135

Master Cylinder - $195

Power Steering Boot x1 - $35

Power Steering Pump - $? no price

Centre Muffler leaking, replace with straight pipe - $90

I have done brake pads before and rotors don't sound that hard to replace either. The master cylinder was reported leaaking because there was a bit of paint stripped away beneath it, it looks fine otherwise. My guess is i could save a lot on labour cost if I do this myself, right?!

cheers B)

I hope you're not referring to the cat? Straight pipes are illegal...

Pretty much everything else you listed you should be able to do yourself.

yeah, GTR's have a second muffler, removing it adds a little bit of noise I was told (kinda obvious), but I don't know if its legal or a good idea!!

$300 total for 2 front rotors ($330 for 2 rear rotors). I don't know what the DBA rotors are, I guess your referring to the series! (ie 4000's etc..) I will try and find out today and let you know. BTW that was direct from DBA over east.

I'll also find out what the other rotors were for $500 a pair...

Well I can't say i've ever noticed a 2nd muffler on my system, then again it's not standard haha. I still have standard dumps at this stage. 3" s/steel to the cat, 3" hi flow cat (came over with the standard one lol), 3.5" s/steel cat to rear muffler....

And yeah that does sound fairly cheap for the DBA's! DBA's are fairly popular performance rotors. For a full set of replacements for r32 gtr (slotted) was going to cost me just under $700 from repco....

OK, well the $300 a pair DBA's were just the standard driving brakes, I don't even think they were an x000 series. But I just got word back from Perth Brake Parts in Welshpool and they do street and racing performance DBA4000 slotted rotors, front and rear for $195ea

They also recommended Formula Feroda brake pads for the front which were $130 a pair and just a cheap brand called Lucas for the rears which were $40 a pair (or $40 each, can't remember).

So yeah, if you are after the 4000 series, which are recommended for GTR's because they are a higher grade steel , give Perth Brake Parts a call. I also found out that it was the DBA4000's from Top Racing @ $500 a pair :)

Those bastards! I just bought a pair of ferodo formula's for the front and they charged me $150! (inc gst). The only reason I didn't quibble with it, was because I didn't have the part number to get a price from my contact that works at repco, and his system was showing 3 different part numbers all for the same year of gtr, for the same type of pads....*growls*

      WTB noltec r32 front upper (camber) arms

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.

      I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.

      @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
