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. :ermm:

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.

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).

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.

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

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties

      Fourth gear grind

      By FRGTN1 · Posted

      I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw

      Fourth gear grind

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
