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?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
