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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
