PM sent regarding my order for some slotted rotors and redstuff pads...My current brake setup feels weak, Has anyone ever changed the ABS controller when doing a 4 stud to 5 stud conversion? My brakes just dont feel right.. i've had the rotors machines before putting them on, i've used Ferodo excels and Bendrix ultimates and still no difference..Master cyl is fine, i even went and bought the big R32 one with the backup reservoir.

Cant seem to work out what the problem is.. Maybe this will do the trick?

I wanna put a RB30DETT in eventually and wont dare until ive sorted out my braking woes.

I've never do any 4 to 5 stud conversion so I'm not sure. from the car at the bottom of your signature, looks like you're putting a Gtst rotor conversion onto your non-turbo GTS4 ? Have you tried bleeding off the brake fluid, or even flush it all out and put a fresh one in? brake fluids can attract water over a period of time, especialy DOT5.1 requires more often maintenanceto DOT4. This could make your braking system less effective.

Not sure about the ABS controller though.

On the other hand, once you transferred the payment, send me a pm and I'll update the order list above.

got your pm....

Could i grab a pm with the group buy price for slotted rotors:

Rear: R32 GTR 297mm slotted rotors

Front: R33 GTS-t 296mm slotted rotors

i'm going to be running r32 gtr calipers on rear and r33 gtst calipers on the front... so this is what i'd need yeah?

the car is used for street and on the very rare occasion will be taken to track.. what pads would you recommend? and if i could get a group buy price on that... that would be great. :D

cheers.. and sorry i'd pm this but i can't yet.. :-S

*) All RRP prices above are per pair, GST inclusive however they DO NOT INCLUDE delivery costs.

In addition to rotors, I am now officially offering EBC Green/Red/Yellow pads to suit most Nissan cars above. Please pm me for quote.

Deliveries all around Aust in approximately 5-10 business days via road courier (organised by RDA). No pickups available as they'd rather send everything out to keep it simple rather than mocking around with orders and separating pickup and deliveries.

no worries. I think the forum had been bombarded by 'fake users' sending spam via its PM facility, that's probably the reason why PM are now limited to people who have posted at least 10 to eliminate those once-off fake user from the spam-bots.

The RDA gold passivated slotted rotors, do they have any other advantages than corrosion protection over the normal slotted rotors by RDA, and why is corrosion an issue (does it affect future machining?)?

the gold passivated material itself is only as important as a pretty girl gotta put up a makeup before leaving the house.

cosmetics

surface rust looks ugly if you don't have a lockup garage, car exposed to humidity outside, and you didn't use the car on daily basis.

extreme amount of surface rust may score the rotor surface, so you may need to machine it more often if it's too badly rusted.

However, other than cosmetics, the gold passivated rotors come in a different pattern called the grooved & dimpled.

The extra dimples acts similar to drilled rotors cooling system, especially under constant hard braking use. While drilled rotors

are prone to cracking due to materials remove and reducing the strength, the dimples (or blind drilled holes) maintain the rotor strength

to minimise chance of cracking under extreme use...

Again if you only drive your car on the street, going Gold Passivated should only be considered as cosmetic purposes.

Because on the street, even a lead foot driver in the start stop traffic would not be applying extreme enough demand on the rotors...

only track use would bring the demand up there.

hey bud,

Could i please get a price on a pair of front slotted rotors to suit r33 gts-t? And are the stock rear rotors adequate for a street driven car or should they get an upgrade too?

Thankyou

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
