I might have already asked this, but I have some 355mm 2 piece rotors that need very light machining and need to find a brake shop that has experience with large rotors / big brakes and has a good quality set up. The brake kit supplier warned me not to go near the 'high st' places to get this work done. I guess there is Race Brakes but that's over on the west side. Any located in the SE that you guys have used and know to be recommended.

Thanks.

Only ever used Howard at Race Brakes :laugh:

Just courier it to him, will cost you $10.

I could recommend you some decent guys at an ABS, but not sure of their expertise when it comes to larger rotors.

They came to my mind too. There is some politics between them and the people who supplied my brake kit (NSW based so I can't 'go' to them), so for that reason (and without making any judgements) I probably don't want to go there.

Any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

where did you go?

Am going to Better Brakes in Cheltenham. I do not recommend them personally as I have yet to deal with them. 9585 0455. They do not have a workshop i.e. you need to pull the bits off and supply them to them. Same day rotor skimming service. Pick up and drop off.

I have used Better Brakes for a while now, never had an issue with them. They have great service and are very good at what they do, I think that you'll be happy with their work and service. Thats just my own opinion while dealing with them, let us know how you go.

my experience at Race Brakes was shitehouse so would be keen to know how you go at Better Brakes (they are miles closer too)

And i'm sure Traction Tyres would be more than up for the job as well.

You have a specific performance workshop you take your car too? i'm sure most the big tuners would have preferred places .... hmmm... think i'll ask Trent today when i'm down there :)

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
