Dr30 Rear Discs

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?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
