Hey,

I need some help trying to track down a set of front rotors for my ER34. Prefer DBA and hoping to get slotted...Def not drilled or cross drilled and slotted..

Please let me know if you can help out.

thanks

Whats wrong with your standard ones?

DBA's? lol try super cheap auto

Standard rotors are warped and cannot be machined due to the high risk of the rotors cracking when heating up.

I require new rotors and have decided to buy DBA rotors as they come within my price range. I dont see how DBA's can be LoL'd at....They are at least twice as reliable as the genuine rotors...So any upgrade above stock is well worth it...

Cruiser - Thanks for the help.

i have a few contacts for these as i use to have them on my car.I would reconmend the "kangaroo paw" style of rotor from dba.

They where the sport rotor which where slotted .These types of rotor have a different heat range so once they were in the range worked better,which is noticable.Let me know if you want prices and i'll see what i can do for you.Also im not sure if the R34 are the same but in the R33 they had two different sizes in thickness so you might have to check that on your existing rotors before you order otherwise they might not suit your caliper.

Hope this helps.

also i'll have to give the scanner a miss chris, my budget doesnt stretch that far this week.

Thanks for the help with the rotors...got some lined up with some mates from autobarn. :whistling:

I can hold on to the scanner for you if you want...will part with it for $140 at the lowest for ya.

oi cd. i reckon u could get away with ur standard brakes the way they are atm. just upgrade the pads, and add a few air ducts in there. also properly bedd the brakes in aka BEDDING. also a brake booster stopper is worth a gander.

found out the shudders u feel when braking aren't the disks (90%of the time unless theyre ancient), its from inpropper bedding in of the brake pads. residue is producing uneven patches on the disk.

keep in mind champ, slotted/drilled rotors, dont cool the brakes, only allow gass to escape.

if u take off the rear protector plate, and have a few guides it will be sweet.

unless ur rotors are seriously fkd..........................buy some R35 rotors BWAAAAAHAAAAAA

Rotors are ancient...10 + Years. Brakes didnt need to be bed in as they dont require them on the high end brake pads you buy.

Nah, just going to get slotted all round. Ordering them on Tues... Sweet. Improve breaking power by heaps.

Cheers.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
