Yeah I gotta get mine replaced so I'll be lashing out for a set of RDA front slotted rotors too. Theyre not as expensive as I thought they'd be either.

rda are awesome value get a full set of rotors for the same price of 2 dba

Seriously?! Yeah!! Slotted are a shit load better than just standard.

Improved stopping distance, improved feel, etc. I even went from a cross-drilled set to a slotted set and noticed a huge difference.

They improve braking power, basically. That and a good set of pads!

Most properly modded street cars, you'll find with slotted rotors. As well as all the HSV's and FPV's that came out the factory, and a few BMW's.

everyone going slotted?

curious, do slotted rotors go through pads faster than standard flat rotors?

Well for me Damo the slotted rotors feel a whole lot better

i havent noticed much brake pad wear but only had them in for like 4 -5 months now

plus i had to go slotted as you can as luke (enr_034) how stuffed my stock rotors were mate

if anything they make the pad last longer. they do have more bite which increases wear but the groove also assists in cleaning the brake dust off the pad and venting it out so its not actually trapped between the rotor and the pad, and that itself helps the pad to stay alive a bit longer...

You'll still have benefits with cross drilled however many cross drilled rotors are prone to stress fractures due to the fact that they are drilled after the rotor is forged, whereas the slots are actually shaped within the forging/casting process. You'll notice RDA also have the gold passivated rotors with slots and 'dimples'. The dimples are done during casting and dont go the entire way thru the disc, so theyre much hardier. cross drilling isnt so useful for street work (lets face it, its there for cooling so its mainly for racers)... slotted is more than enough for any street car.. if your slotted rotors aren't doing the job on the street, then thats the time you consider caliper and disc diameter upgrades... or switch to a prius

I've already added a cusco brake cylinder brace and braided brake lines and those two improve the feeling/response of the brakes quite a bit. The new rotors should really seal the deal, I can't see myself needing bigger calipers or disc diameter...

    • Yeah that is true. I haven't seen any Australian auction prices for 34s. Did see a r33 gtst series 2 go for 21k at Lloyd's the other week. Definitely seems like people selling their Skylines that have sat in the front yard for the last 10 years are a little delusional.  
    • The exact direct fit seat belts are R33-specific. Should be able to get it from any Nissan dealer.
    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
