I swear my RDA slotted rotors are getting, what I can only describe as "hot spots" on them

post-58049-1279600621_thumb.jpg

Cant really see them in the picture, but they are like a dark shadow.

bet you had some grease on your fingers when you installed them ????. pull the pads off , give them a (pads) quick file off and feather the corners to stop chatter and squeal , and spray on some brake cleaner while your there. light sand in a random fashion , reinstall , should reseat within a few blocks. remember you brakes will be low for the first go...lol

pm me if you want a more detailed version..lol

Gee, only 65,000km on the dash .. *cough*

R34 GTR MULTI FUNCTION DISPLAY VSPEC II VER. (WORTH $2500)

weird, I didn't pay near that for the one in my car ... Given all the other items they've quoted costs for, they really seem to have an over-inflated opinion of what adds value to a car.

3.5INCH FRONT/DUMP PIPE (CONNECTED TO A SCREAMER PIPE FOR FASTER TURBO SPOOL)

Aren't screamers illegal?

TBH, the entire car seems like a big sign saying 'defect me' - but eh that's my view. Hope they don't live in SA or VIC or they like bending over ... Lots of threads saying it's impossible to get a RB30/25 conversion through EPA in Vic without spending $3k per test (which you could fail). Ah well ...

im going with the probably just dirt theory. unless youre a secret midnight uber street racer, theres no way youve been going hard enough on your brakes to hotspot the rotors abe.

actually, i should go take a pic of a my ats clutch so you can see what a proper hot spot looks like, lol.

lol, watching a doco on how they build the Corvette Z06:

"The Z06 has cross drilled rotors. These holes help the engine gases escape faster"

lol. i remember hearing that when i watched, i lol'd. other than that, its a good watch.

heslo! just so u know...

paul said my head was one of the cleanest and un scathed he has ever seen!!

oh and my engine is finished! WOOOP

Fantastic Adrian, like I said, that car and motor was well looked after.

What happend? Oil patch? to fast? someone needed there hair cut down the creek?

f**king LOL!!!!

And none to all of the above, car just understeered off the face of the cliff.

And Dave, yes, he knows

May have had grease, but after installing, I sprayed them with brake cleaner and then washed off with water, I'll have a look tomorrow. I have some copper grease to try and help the brakes from squealing, if the weather is good tomorrow I shall try and do it.

Just a question to the SAU sa execs..

A few weeks ago, Damo said for me to fill out the correct information for a registration form, and all would be sorted. So i emailed my information to sausa's hotmail address, paid the fee's, and have not heard back.

If somebody from the exec team could inform me as to what is going on..that would be awesome.

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
