QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Aug 28 2013, 02:13 AM) Those looks like cheap cross-drilled discs to me. Just look at that cross-drill design, they don't even overlap! Striping or banding will definitely occur after using it for a long period. They aren't expansive, AU$300 only http://ebcbrakes.com/articles/dangerous-cr...drilled-rotors/ End of story, cross-drilled rotors are more prone to cracking than pure slotted or even stock blanks for that matter. Just google it up, people are complaining their stock standard GTR cross-drilled rotors are cracking after a hard day at the track. Therefore, my pad is only BOSCH standard. QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Aug 28 2013, 02:13 AM) Ah.... So the drill is up to a certain thickness ON the surface without drilling through the entire layer directly to the vent. Thanks for clearing that up. But again, does it really work? I know cross drill is already a myth:1) Basically having holes on the disc surface can simply means it looks nicer and hardcore for ricers like me, more for decoration. 2) Having cross drilled holes on vented disc to allow water/heat/asbestos channel out through the vents? Generally nowadays brake pads are asbestos free. Water can be easily vaporize as the heat start building up on the rotor itself. 3) Heat remover? According to WIKI QUOTE A brake disc is a heat sink, but the loss of heat sink mass may be balanced by increased surface area to radiate away heat So, how does dimple drill benefit QUOTE(yscsiew @ Aug 28 2013, 02:33 AM) nowadays where got pure copper? I tot ori ady 90amp?! 70% wants me few hundred/meter 8 gauge only. alternator XD engine noob can't figure out which is the bolt...ideal condition, ori alternator is insufficient. is not standard 60/70amps i guess |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Aug 28 2013, 01:15 AM) I was a lab technician, work in THEN Malaysia 3rd largest steel factory in 2001 ~ 2003 as British Standard/ American Standard/ Malaysia Sirim/ Japan International Standard product certification officer. Ayam the one and only person in the lab running all the sampling and testing for all the raw materials/finish product, including 25mm steel plate that use to cut as disc brake rotor. So, you may wanna consider my eversof***ing humble opinion For those who always go genting, change the rotor and pad to ceramic types. Last longer and no worry of overheating and brake pad fading or rotor warping. Although creamic discs are not cheap.Hairline crack happened on the drilled area got 2 facts: 1) The drilled hole pointed at the leaf between the vents. As and when the disc rotor being heated up and expanded, the leaf takes longer to contract when it start cooling down, hence the surface of drilled area will have hairline crack because the surface cool down much faster than the leaf(inner part between the rotor vent). 2) Wrong brake pad temperature will cause every single drilled hole to emit hairline crack. Simple logic, hot expand cold shrink. When you have sohai temperature pad that rated higher than the rotor, ofcourse the rotor gets heated up until fire red, as and when it contract quickly, crack is unavoidable. Try a ceramic rotor, before the disc crack, the heat generated could probably set your absorber on fire already Would like to understand more on the above highlighted from your previous statement. Which drilled rotor does not drilled through? I'd like to further understand if such technology exist. On the other hand, you can drive lika moron in your Iswaga, you will never create serious crack your disc even if you use ceramic pads. Vehicle weight is the 1 that creates more friction from the pad to the rotor. These are my eversof***ing humble opinion. Over and out. |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Aug 28 2013, 01:15 AM) yeap i do agree with your humble opinions however the fact that drilled rotors cracking has not much to do with the thickness of the surface nor positions it was drilled in relation to the vents. case in point for your 2 facts: - my rotors have no vents - my brake pad temperature is OFFICIALLY rated between 300-400 Celsius (EBC shows real lab testing/graphs and don't simply claim how hot their pads can go) and they strongly advise against motorsports/track events so yeah technically my pads shouldn't be "sohai temperature" to further emphasis, with a infrared thermometer, my rotors NEVER go above 400c, and they never glowed for non complete drilled through rotors: http://ebcbrakes.com/product/3gd-sport-rotors/ QUOTE The dimple drilled rotor was invented by EBC back in the 90′s and has been imitated by many because of its ability to offer pad degassing without “Through Drilling” disc or rotor holes which has been shown to promote rotor cracks. endless, a pretty known braking technology compmany, don't have drilled rotors at all, at most are below http://www.endless-sport.co.jp/brake_rotor/index.html project mu, also a damn famous company, also don't have drilled: http://www.project-mu.co.jp/en/products/in...ml#pindex_rotor and yea, i hope you're very much correct because replacing rotors aren't exactly cheap and they do take considerable amount of time for machine pressing (if you're going with the "might as well" path on doing your wheel bearings too) like you (and myself as well) said, the cracks at the moment ARE NOT SERIOUS. and i really hope they stay that way what i've posted is merely an advise/warning to those wishing to go for drilled rotors |

Hi, I am a noobie here.
Got a question. I'll be away for business trip for about 10days, is it OK to left my flx idle during that time? Any experience leaving your car idle for a long time? |

QUOTE(yscsiew @ Aug 28 2013, 02:17 AM) anyone know better choice of alternator to replace the ori one?(higher current but can fit without extreme modify, going ICE) unless you're gonna spend at least/over 10-20k ringgit on your ICE, you really don't have to bother with the alternator unless it is faulty, in which case you get it fixed/reconditioned |

According to WIKI So, how does dimple drill benefit personally, i'm not sure either. the links i googled seems to say it's a myth. however i do have butt dyno feeling that the drilled/slots does seem to help in braking. if anything they SHAVE the brake pads more aggressively and with that kinda friction, one might think you're getting better stopping power? gas/water channeling/repellent aside. so, perhaps the dimples are for ricers? or maybe they do something as per the original x drilled does, just perhaps a little less effect since it isn't complete drilled through, albeit trading off with less risk of cracking. |
