Rda Rotors & Ebc Pads Group Buy 2009

will follow up...

However there are no correlations to where you are, you can be in Melbourne yet people in WA may get theirs first because when RDA receives the order if they know the WA branch has a stock close by it gets shipped directly from there instead from Melbourne warehouse.

Most likely you were not home when the courier tried to deliver, this had been 99.99% of the cases over the past 3 years

I work from home so I'm always here .. besides, even if I had just popped out for a minute (which is unlikely) wouldnt they leave a card ? If you could give them a ring and find out what's happening that'd be great.

.... Keep in mind that general OEM rotors normally have a lifespan of around 30,000 - 40,000km. My front stock V35 rotors were lipped and were already under the minimum thickness when the car landed with 49000km, so I would have estimated the previous owner in Japan didn't replace the rotor at 40000km service which was when it was suppose to be replace. I would expect RDA rotors also have a life expectancy around 30,000-40,000km just like OEM rotors.

I am not trying to be inflammatory, but when I got my R34 it had done 86,000km, and I am quite certain the rotors had never been replaced due to rust and lack of evidence of any mechanical work ever done to/around them. My car has now done 155,000km and they are on their way out but still going. So I have to disagree that OEM rotors are good for 30,000-40,000km.

Either way I am changing to the dimpled/slotted gold passivated rotors, which arrived the other day, and they look bloody awesome in the box!

I haven't fitted them yet as I am waiting for my QFM brake pads and brake rebuild kit to arrive, to do it all at once, along with some braided brake lines and custom caliper paint.

[rs73]

Is QFM pads = A1RMS?

[Wacky Dee]

I got QFMs too .. but the HPX ones. Have you had a chance to speak to RDA before they closed today ??

[rs73]

No, got too much stuff on at work and I just got home. Will do it Monday.

[Wacky Dee]

as it happens I'll be at a different address from monday for about 10 days .. any chance I can have you give them the new address for delivery? It's also in Sydney.. so if they haven't sent it out yet, it'd be much better if I can get it at the new address.

It is probably already on its way. What I'll do is I'll grab the consignment number and you can ring the courier with that consignment number.

It's a lot easier that way.

[Nightcrawler]

Yeah mate I am getting the A1RMS.

Delta what do you think of the HPXs? They recommend I go A1RMS for a mildly hard driven street car (no track time).

[Wacky Dee]

my understanding is A1RMS is for track mainly ... ie. they're efficient at high temps. Since I don't do track, I've gone with HPX as they work better at lower temps too ie. street.

[rs73]

If anyone else here using A1RMS pads on daily basis I'd like to hear about it...

Rianto can you get hold of FPV Falcon 355mm discs with skyline pcd and centre hole dimensions?

[rs73]

only if Falcon's PCD is 5x114.3mm by factory standard, and if Falcon's centre hole diameter is the same or bigger than Skyline. if not then it will be up to the end user to modify their hub to fit.

Reason is they don't do custom made rotors unless you're willing to buy a minimum of 120 pieces (60 pairs) in one order

[pintaline]
