My pleasure... I'm starting the next one immediately as there's a few people with urgent brake needs... so if anyone is interested please pm me.

anybody know if it's possible/easy/cheap to get a bracket to allow fitment of a GTR sized rotor (324mm) in place of a GTST rotor (296mm).

its for an R33 if that matters.

d'ya reckon a bracket from a GTR would be a simple bolt on? cos i'm thinking it would be a good upgrade to just buy the GTR rotors from here?

edit:

don't worry, i'm an idiot, obviously the calliper is not going to provide the correct contact surface for a bigger rotor :blink:

anyhoo, can you put me down just for a set of regular slotted's for the front of a R33 (bills suck!)

Hi mate,

This is an illustration of what Grooved rotors look like.

The dimples are not drilled through as to maintain the rotor strength, as too much cross-drilled section in a rotor may reduce it's strength and developing cracks starting from around the drill holes, the dimples also acts as an extra cooling in addition to the grooves - just like a cross drilled rotor.

Hope that helps. I have never put one on my car, but with the Gold Passivated material on the grooved rotors, I would believe that will reduce oxidation that mostly cause those ugly surface rust-look on standard OEM rotors.

Could you please PM costing for front and rear slotted (only slotted) discs for S1 R33 GTST?

If possible please also include costs for all four corners of Greenstuff pads?

Thanks a bunch!

Chasing prices on rotors for front & rear of my S1 R33 GTS-T, frieght is to 4214

FRONTS = Slotted/Grooved & Dimpled

REARS = Slotted/Grooved

Cheers bloke. :)

Also, quick curiosity question.. Are the rotors a simple slip off & slip on job, with just the wheel bearings to freshen up & nip in ?? I had someone tell me that they needed a press to get the bearings on & off - sounds a bit much to me just to fit a pair of rotors. I've changed them on a SII RX-7 and a Gemini, and had no dramas or needed any special tools...

    • I like they don't raise their hands into the air when they shift their sequential boxes, seems to be a thing here in Australia lol...
    • I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.   
    • New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.
    • 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
