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...

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
