What do you mean by "after market brakes"? Rotors? Calipers? Rotors and calipers?

For DBA rotors, check the DBA website (obviously). RDA also make a slotted rotor - check the traders threads on the forum.

The rotors and brake pads are different front and rear. Brake Pads - Front = DB1170, Rear = DB1220

If i was to go the DBA 4000 series 6X6 WIPER-SLOT

with the DBA Brake Pads how much should i be looking at?

Ok, spoke to a few people and ive decided on this, please tell me what you think.

Fronts

Rear

Pads (the Ultimate ones)

http://www.bendix.com.au/catalogue/9520

I got a price for the above..300ea for the rotors

Is that for the 5000 or 4000 series? It's ridiculously cheap for the 5000, but a bit expensive for the 4000...

and 200 a pair for the pads not incl gst is that good?

Ultimates are rated to 550, alternatively we've got European made Remsa pads (what we supply to Porsche/Ferrari etc. as a trade servicing pad) which is rated to 650 degrees, and $119 for the front, and $110 for the rear. Or QFM HPX, which are equivalent to the Ultimate's performance wise, but low dust and rotor wear, $110 per set front or rear.

Ive been quoted 310 Ea for the 5000series fronts and $170 4000 series rear

Do you have those Remsa pads in stock? is that number in your sig. the best number to contact you on? would like to possibly talk more about the pads

What :O $310 each for the 5000 sereis, thats like 1/2 the list price on the dba website?

Why choose Dba anyways? I've had a few mates have there rotors crack on them and they seem like a pretty soft compound. I spoke to a guy at a brake place and he doesnt really rate them either, especially for double to price of rda's you'd expect something pretty damn good.

I've heard from a work mate that 5000's are the best value for money rotors around - and this guy is a trackday junkie. Yes, 4000 do crack, but not 5000's.

Personal expereince - I wouldn't bother with Bendix pads if you are into spirited driving, mountains etc - get some Ferodo DS2500's.

first of all what do you mean by 'aftermarket brakes'? do you just mean it has replacement rotors on it? or does it have aftermarket calipers with larger rotors or what? you need to first confirm that you are needing standard sized rotors and pads.

then take it from there.

    • 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?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
