Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these items for a good price?

RB74 pads - front and rear - R33 GTST

RDA slotted rotors - front and rear - R33 GTST

Motul RBF600 brake fluid.

Anyone know of a good caliper upgrade that doesnt cost a fortune.

Ive searched but results where limited.

cheers :)

Whereabouts?

Can you give me the individual prices?

thnx.

From Mercury Motorsport in Brisbane.

DBA 4963 SL & SR rotors $409.09

DBA 4908 SL & SR rotors $409.09

Ferodo DS 2500 DB1170 brake pads $227.27

Race Brakes Comp 2 DB1220 brake pads $122.73

The Ferodo's are very dusty, but they are an awesome set of brakes :). No fade at all even stopping constantly from high speeds (200+ lol).

I Highly reccomend them, also they make your wheels look heaps better being slotted :).

Thanks Shane. Gives me a rough idea on prices.

I sent mercury an email earlier today regarding there items.

I imagine they are closed over the weekend.

Also emailed racebrakes and discbrakes australia.

From the research I have done so far, I have discovered that RDA make a good quality rotor and are cheaper than the DBA's.

Havent found a negative response for em yet.

Id like to give them a go, anyone know some prices for the RDA's?

I can also get ferodas cheap from a supplier in the UK, but apparently they cant get rears for R33 GTST.

I'll kep them in mind though.

:)

Get your racebrakes pads from www.racebrakes.com.au

May as well get them from the people who make them.

Thats what I reckon - eliminates the middleman.

Im just waiting on a response from them.

Is there any other places that sell these items online or retail?

Cheers :)

I cant find the receipt but im pretty sure my rb74 for the front of my r32 gtst were about $150 delivered.

I got a quote for them via email, they were pretty quick. I think they replied in 1 or 2 days, a heap better than most companies out there who just bin all there email inquiries.

Thats a decent price. it'd be good to get away with upgrading my brakes and rotors for under 1K.

I know what you mean about most companies not responding.

Major potential loss of business in my opinion, probably got too much to deal with.

Thnx 4 da info.

No probs mate.

Never heard of RDA.

You'd be pushing to get the lot for under 1k (and then you gotta install them).

Will be interesting to see how u go.

RDA - Rotors and Drums Australia

There an Australian company and they are known on the forum.

Heres there site - www.rdabrakes.com.au

Im going to try and see if I can get a better price for a bulk deal (group buy maybe)

Should get the lot for under 1k and I'd install them myself to save $$$.

;)

Just watch out for RDA.. We have 4 cars here running RB74 2 cars with DBA and 2 with RDA..

The 2 with RDA are getting heat spots already..  one only done 2kkm and other only 3kkm..

Hmmm. Good to get some feedback.

Anyone else use RDA's and had the same problem?

Cheers ;)

I bought a set of rb74's for my front calipers (r33/r32 gtr) and they cost $160. Expect freight to cost just under $20.

Race brakes express posted them to me here in SA.

With my 2 way diff, and r33 rebuilt calipers up front, i find the rb74 pads on the front are a pretty good match for the rear when it locks up under braking....

Have you checked your calipers are working 100% to start with gR33dy? My tyres are now my braking weak point due to the brakes working as they should ;)

I havent had my calipers checked properly yet, although they feel ok.

I will probably get them rebuilt eventually or even some aftermarket ones?

And also upgrade the lines.

How much did the caliper rebuild set you back?

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
