Got mine and fitted em ( cheers Rianto ).

Just wondering if there's any logic for the following.

The factory front discs are thicker on the inside than the outside but the RDA's are the other way around. Can't think of why this would be....... :wave:

Cool upside is that the rear discs have jacking hose where factory ones don't :)

It doesn't make any difference. Centre holes are for ventilation. Brake Pads never made contact to the inner ventilation surfaces, as long as total thickness from outside to inside is the same as factory, it will be a perfect thickness fit for the caliper/pads. By the time your rotors are worn 2mm (only 1mm each side) it is already down to the minimum thickness and you will need to replace it.

lol, I know it should'nt make any difference, otherwise I would'nt have installed them but I just thought it was a bit strange.

Usually the inner disc surface is thicker as it cops more of a hiding than the outer surface. Was just making an observation and posing a question that you might pass on to RDA next time you happen to chat with them ?

All in all though, the slotted & dimpled rotors are :) With the QFM pads fitted and only 60km's clocked up they are already an improvement on the brakes I had.

can I get a price on the slotted F+R rotors for R34 GT-T please ? Also, which pads does everyone recommend for normal street driving (no track/race) ? I don't want whiney pads or ones that wear too quickly..

Thanks Rianto received the items today.

ill fit them this weekend or next see if its perfect for my V35Coupe.

Ill let you know if anything.

Thanks.

Oh... i dropped the friggin Box of pads on my Foot.... :P ...

painfully heavy....

cool, yeh the rotors on them looks pretty stocky just standard flat layer.. and gray callipers and blue pads. OEM pads for sure.

oh by the way should i do any braking excercise when i fit them on??

Cheers Rianto

make sure your existing pads are not scored or grooved, otherwise it will ruin the new rotors' surfaces.

if it is, either you may need new pads as well, or if it's still got a lot of life in it, you can ask a mechanic to lightly machine it so it will be smooth.

ADD: I just read instruction not to "sand" friction surface as it will make things too smooth and no grip. so check with a knowledgeable brake mechanic if you have a scored pad surface whether it is safe to do so. If it's not then don't do it, get new pads

then after putting on the rotors, do the normal break-in procedure. you can find lots of info here: http://www.rdabrakes.com.au/index.php/technical.html

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
