I bought some DR30 gear sorta recently but I've discovered a problem with one of the rear discs now.

So now I'm looking at one of the rear discs and it appears that it has been dragged on one spot or something because it's a bit flat-spotted on one part of the edges. Will this matter much? I really can't have my brakes f**king up on me. The edge of the disc at this spot isn't flared out or anything by the way. I'm pretty fuelled on resolving this issue asap. How hard are DR30 rear-discs to attain anyway? Don't tell me I have to go directly through Nissan to get them?

Main good thing about these rear discs even though theres this issue is that I should be able to get my car complied/through regency allot easier with these brakes and a redtop-rb20. But what about the actual condition of the disc? What do I need to take into account/look for? I'll try and get some pics asap.

Just get them skimmed, to ensure they're parallel.

Z31 same size and slotted RDA will cost you about $120 each.

Just need to make a 5mm spacer as genuine DR have a hat size of 52mm and Z31 47mm.

Cheers, D

:P:huh::O:O:O

You're kidding me!?!?

My mate and I scrapped a z31 rear end bout 6 months ago!!!!?! :yes:

I knew that was a bad move. His gear but I really should've bought it off him.

So I basically have to look around for prices on Z31 rear discs right?

I might have to drive it how it is for a while, can you see that being a bad move if I kept it up for 6months or so? (hard braking) That can't wreck my caliper or anything else thats important can it?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
