Rda Slotted Rotors Group Buys

[rs73]

Oh, and I have no idea about gold passivated. Can you shed me some lights. I maybe organising the group buy but I'm no metallurgy expert.

They must make two variations on the slotted and dimpled rotors. The numbers you quoted had an "s" suffix but the gold passivated ones appear to have a "g" suffix

I am assuming that maybe the "s" variation is a standard finish (i.e naked) whereas the "g" model has a gold coating on top of silver. Can you possibly verify that with the rep and get prices on both please

Note : the 324mm rotors for the gtr32vspec & gtr33/34 are 30mm thick not 32

Grooved Sports Rotors

NEW! Gold Passivated, Directionally Grooved Disc Brake Rotors, For the Discerning Motorist.

These discs are ZINC PLATED and GOLD PASSIVATED to avoid corrosion, and have all the advantages of our standard slotted rotors as described below. They are packaged as a pair in a high quality gloss black box, and each rotor is marked as LEFT or RIGHT for easy identification and fitment.

Hi,

I'm interested in a set for the R34 GTT. But I can't seem to get the zip files open. Can you advise what is available plus price etc.

Thanks

shozbot,

Well I never asked RDA but I was assumeing 'S' for Slotted and 'G' for Grooved and Dimpled.

Well if 'G' is the gold passivated, then that should be the one for you.

7701G 324mm fronts are $429 incl GST, 908G rears 297mm $<<price removed pm to GB members only>> all prices discounted already.

Just for curiousity is your car R33 GTR? If so then your rear discs should be 7702G 300mm

not 908G 297mm for R33 GTS-t, unless you have a GTS-t with big brembo upgrade kit at the front.

In case you really need GTR rear grooved and dimpled, it's 7702G for $<<price removed pm to GB members only>> inc GST.

muz,

R34 GT-T what I have from DBA catalog cross check is using exactly the same as R33 GTSt

Front 296mm: 7693S (slot) $<<price removed pm to GB members only>> or 7693G (grooved dimpled) $<<price removed pm to GB members only>>

Rear 297mm: 908S (slot) $<<price removed pm to GB members only>> or 908G (grooved dimpled) $<<price removed pm to GB members only>>

Some guys here told me their R34 GT-T has 300mm instead at the front, now I'm still chasing that one up with RDA, because the guy wasn't at their computers yesterday so he can't give me any answer. I'll try again ASAP as tonight I'll be finishing work early for an annual company dinner out, and I've got appointments tomorrow morning so I won't be able to look into this Group Buy thing until Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Sorry guys,

I just rang RDA the guy who deals with me is not in today and will be back Monday, so unfortunately I won't be able to give out exact shipping prices or give info about that 300mm R34 GT-T rotors or any other cars.

He's the manager there, so I'll have to wait till Monday as no one else there is probably authorised to give special discount price to public. and I think he only worked Monday to Wednesday.

Some more info

I measured my R34 GTT front disc last night

It was 310mm diameter

R33 Gtst disc at 296mm would be too small, the pads would be hanging over the edge of the disk

[rs73]

Allright. i'll mention that to Scott.

If they don't have the 310mm available then all of you with 310mm R34 front rotors maybe will have to go with DBA. I've given him DBA's part no so he might be able to track the corresponding one available in RDA.

[rs73]

Guys, sorry I had to remove all posts and attachements that leads to pricing, as they have got problems from NSW branch managers dealing with customers as pricing was posted here and looks like general public been surfing this forum a lot and took it to RDA and use it as bargaining power.

I'm trying to maintain good relations and faith with RDA otherwise this whole group buy thing will have to be cancelled and forget the nice prices... so only for those interested, seriously interested to buy and make payments within next week, then I will provide pricing for them.

For any reasons please do not post pricing to general public on any other forums! Otherwise as I said, GB will be taken off.

[siksII]

ok so assuming the GB will take place, when can we pay, and how long after that will the rotors start to go out? Any idea of timeframes? Deadlines for payment?

thanks for all the effort, its a shame that some issues came up!

[RedLineGTR]

Pretty keen on pair for the front of my r33 gtst, how much would i be looking at inc postage to victoria?

Please let me know. Cheers Rob

[rs73]

pm sent, Rob.

And I've just spoken to them, they can't find any 310mm rotors to suit R34 GT-T so those with such rotors will need to find elsewhere.

Road shipping would be under $30 and can get it delivered anywhere in Australia within about 3 business days.

But before that happens I'll need a confirmed list on who decided to pickup from one of their branches and who prefers to enjoy sitting at home/work and wait for the deliveries. That way I can sort out NSW people on the list who needs to go to branch A or B, and NSW people who wants delivery, etc etc cos they're not gonna do the sorting through the list for us.

I will send a pm tonight to all of you who hasn't confirmed delivery or pickup to me.

[shif_tea]

I'll confirm pickup from blacktown branch

[Anquetil]

Yeh I'd like to pick up from the Qld, Ernest Branch.

Will these branches know of our 'special' prices.

Keep up the good work Rianto!

Probably not, the best way to ensure that you don't get any problems is to have it prepaid so you only have to pick it up on the day.

[heslo]

Awesome work buddy, you've done the hard yards in this group buy and done it well!!!

As for the delivery, $30 seems like a great price and that's the way I'm gonna have to go since there is no distributor in my state (SA)

[rs73]

no worries Luke, I've got your address detail, I'm sorting out the list tonight, and separate the deliveries and pickups and I'm gonna have to collect payments individually so I can transfer to RDA in:

a) delivery batches and

b) pickup batches -

Also to avoid confusion for pickups guys as the other branches in other states may not be aware of our special group buy, therefore IMHO it's better for you to prepay to avoid any issues during pickups.

And for those who delivers, yes of course you need to pre-pay first :-)

As of you who hasn't known / heard of me, I understand it can be scary handing your money over someone at SAU. Just a quick background I've organised 3-4 skidpan days with Driver Dynamics back in 2003 & 2004, those who has joined Kevin Flynn's "course" can ask him directly and he'll know me, as well as I've met in person most SAU VIC committee & members e.g. Al, Snowman, Scotsman, etc.

Hi..

What's the possibility of picking up the item this saturday? Otherwise I may need to pull out of this GB. Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience... but if Saturday is good, let me know when I need to make the payment.

Again, thanks heaps for organising the GB. Great work!

Dennis, I gave you their email address via pm, have you check with Bankstown branch if they're open on Saturday?

If I get all payments sorted out by Wednesday, it's still pretty tight schedule to get it delivered to Bankstown by Friday for you to pickup on Saturday, as that is depending on their inter-branch delivery schedule and whether the bankstown branch is open on Saturday.

[dd4321]

I checked with them and yes, they are open on saturday, half day. Would really appreciate if you could check with them if saturday is possible next time you are in contact with RDA.

Sorry to rush as I need to bring my car to my mechanic next week.

Thanks heaps with your help so far...

I've send RDA email about this time line, and I'll follow up tomorrow morning if I have not heard anything yet.
