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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
