My front rotors are warped and I have given myself 2 options.

Option 1

Bolt on a used brembo set from a BNR34

This is quite costly and I might have to deal with warped stock BNR34 rotors too.

Option 2

Aftermarket replacement rotors

For option 2, I have narrowed down my choices to the below:-

1) Dixcel HD

2) Dixcel HS

3) Project Mu Pure Plus 6 slit

4) Endless Straight 6

Are there any users/those in the know of the above here that can give comments/reviews?

Many thanks in advance. :)

SKY 34, considered it but not too sure if it will affect the FR and RR brake bias and also whether it will clear the rims.

BHDave, thanks for the input.

Howie, as below:-

1) Dixcel HD - around Y24000

2) Dixcel HS - around Y38000

3) Project Mu Pure Plus 6 slit - around Y20000

4) Endless Straight 6 - around Y42000

The above excludes shipping from Japan.

With option 2, you have missed local DBA and RDA rotors, both makes ones to suit and a fair bit cheaper than the jp import ones. Some of those prices above are more than I paid for the car

I just bot a set of Project Mu SCR's for my GTR. The front rotors were just under $700 delivered from Perfect Run. Shipping rotors from Japan is not cheap. Not on yet so I can't tell you much about how well they work.

A lot of people run DBA 4000's. UAS has them for a bit under $500 for a pair. I know several people who recommended them but have also run across a few who have had them crack after track use.

For starters it is risky and dangerous :( to machine the diameter of a disc down just to save a couple of dollars not to mention no warranty if they explode which i have seen happen.Has the rotor been cast for this to happen and to take the risk.

R34 GT rotors are 296mm front

R34GTT rotors are 310mm front

R34 GT-R rotors are 324mm front

DBA rotors are available for the Skyline range including the R34 GTT 310mm where as RDA do not do this particular disc.You can buy std 4000's rotors instead of there slotted if you want.

it was done by a very reputable brake buisness and they wouldn't have done it if they thought it was in any way dangerous. They did it so they carry any warranty issues, and it wasn't to save a couple of dollars it was to save a lot of money.

Each to there own but 6mm is alot to machine a rotor down by and yes i am in the industry.

If anyone wants the correct rotor DBA do the 310mm rotor in the DBA 4000 series.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
