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

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
