Hey guys,

Just got my 120k major service (v35 coupe 03') and all is good except it needs new front and rear rotors. Main North Nissan in Adelaide gave me this quote to get it done:

Plus 250 labour

Is this reasonable? Seems kinda over priced but i could be wrong.

Also are there any other compatible options?

Also while i'm here i've been meaning to get this stuff fixed, any ideas?

Fark no! It's not reasonable.

Contact gsl rallysport in the business section. The price should be better. Also will give better advice as to what suits you. It's not a hard job, if your semi handy and have some tools you should be able to knock it off in a morning.

The plastic parts on the door handles; you can buy these from a G35 pretty cheap on ebay.

Not sure about the rest

The plastic arm wrest covers can be easily resprayed. Did mine and they came out really well, just lightly sand them down to the plastic and spray 1 coat of primer, 3-4 coats of a silver arcrylic or enamel paint and 3 coats of a clear coat.

Buy rotors from ebay and put them in yourself, shouldn't be too hard, plenty of diy's online.

Thanks! Yeh im getting a few quotes from other people for parts, 2500 is ridiculous!

I think i'm gonna respray the plastic arm wrest covers just not sure what the silver colour is, i might just respray both in the silver I find. Then i just have to search for a new wiper arm!

A quality set of DBA4000 series rotors will cost you about 1/3rd of what they're trying to charge and pads, hell, Ferodo 2500 series are great bang for buck and don't cost anywhere near $800 for a set of front and rear pads!

They don't call them "stealerships" for nothing, you know. :)

Besides which, while OEM is definitely the best option for engine and drivetrain components, when it comes to consumables such as brakes, aftermarket has always been the better option in performance, reliability and price.

Just to put it in perspectice, I am having the rear disc's on V35 sedan machined and new RDA pads put on right now, quote is for $235 (just for rears, but same for fronts) from my local mech,this includes labour.

Yeh that'd be great mate! I managed to take my door apart and change the window motor on it but i dunno if i trust myself to do the brakes without help!

So gsl responded with a much better price! Is it worth giving it a flush?

Will i need anything other than what he has quoted me below?

Hi Dom,

I not entirely sure what two of those parts are on the Nissan quote, but I can quote you on the pads and rotors. The pads I would recommend would be the QFM HPX pads, these are like an equivalent to a Bendix Ultimate in terms of performance as they are both rated to 550 degrees, but the QFM's don’t come with any of the downsides of the Bendix like high dust and rotor wear. I can supply these for $99 inc gst per set front or rear.

I can also supply the DBA 4000 series T3 slotted rotors for $207.90 inc gst per rotor front or rear.

The easiest way to order is credit card over the phone, 1300 884 836, or else swing me your delivery address (preferably a work or business address!!) and contact number and I can fire you through an quote with direct deposit details.

Also if you need brake fluid, the fluid that we use and recommend is the Penrite RBF600 Dot 4 Racing Brake Fluid, which is $24.95 for a 500ml bottle, and rated to 310 degrees dry. Two bottles are usually required for a full car flush.

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Yes you will definitely need to give it a flush, as God only knows how old and what type of fluid you currently have, and you cannot mix grades or types.

Nope, front and rear sets of pads, 4 x rotors and brake fluid are all you need.

Then you need a case (or 2 - one to drink on the job, one as payment for services rendered) of something good like Weihenstephan beer or Rekorderlig cider and a Saturday at my place to fit it all :)

There is of course the option of buying brake rebuild kits like below (which is also on my list of things to do) - but I have never done them before. Apparently they are quite easy to do.

Have fun at The Mount, we just came back from there on Thurs night, after 3 days there and 5 days at Warrnambool preceeding. If you are after an awesome meal head to "Pippies by the bay" at Flagstaff Hill, or "The Barn" - little way out, but WELL worth the drive.

We scuba dove Ewens Ponds again while we there there - amazing freshwater diving, but DAMN it is cold @ 11 degrees! 7mm wetsuits a necessity!

I thought my PCV valve had given up, so I went and ordered one from Main North Nissan - $68 and 3 weeks out of Japan. Told them to shove it.

Bought one on Ebay for $17 plus $11 express delivery from OC Infiniti in the USA and it was at my door in a week.

      R34 power steering

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
