No Listing Of Rotors For My Car, Any Help Apreciated


Recommended Posts

hey guys

i have a nissan cefiro and it runs r33na brakes (so i beleave, runs r33na pads all round)

anyways iv tried finding rotors for r33na and they dont exist !!!!!!!!

can anyone help me out or has an na r33 and what they did when they needed rotors..

iv gone to the bendix site and found few nissans that run the same pads as i do but apparently thats not enough info to get the right rotors for my car

i run DB1165 on the front, DB1144 on the rear if that helps, also it has drum handbrake

any info or help would be awesome cause there fu*ked !! and handbrake hardly works ect so really need to get them replaced

thanks guys

i remember i ordered in ma work place. i rang 2 repco and asked them whether they had r33 na rotors in stock which they couldnt find. so, they asked me to measure the size of the rotors which i cant remember now. try to measure it the thickest of the rotor and the size. also look back of the rotors there should be a mark of the lowest thickest.

Hope thats help u.

Good Luck

Mick

Take one front rotor and one rear rotor off the car and measure them;

A. The total diameter of the rotor (Front, my guess is 280 mm)

B. The height of the rotor and the hat, lay the rotor flat on the ground and measure how high it is. (Front, my guess is 54 mm)

C. Then measure the thickness of the rotor (Front, my guess is 28 mm)

E. Measure the diameter of the hole in the centre of the rotor (Front, my guess is 68 mm)

F. Count the number of wheel stud holes (4 or 5)

Armed with that information look up the online catalogue at www.dba.com.au, the Nissan pages and match the dimesnion you measured with theirs. (Front, my guess is part #4909). Thne posty it up in the Ceffie section for others.

:nyaanyaa: cheers :ninja:

awesome thanks for the info !!

il pull then off tomorrow and measure them, if the rotors are worn wouldnt the measurement be off?

also would a tape measure be enough or should i find something more accurate?

thanks for your help

Worn = 1 to 2 mm, so just add that.

Tape measure will be OK for diameter, close enough for thickness.

The comparison is with the DBA cattle dog, so 1 or 2 mm will be obvious anyway

:kiss: cheers :P

    • I’m sure this has been discussed many times. But anyone have any or know someone that is selling genuine N1 rear pods? I’m still shocked no one replicates these yet. Looking to buy some. Added a photo of the part. 👍🏻
    • Hello, The dog bone wont have much to do with this - the calliper applies a load about the disc - the outside of the calliper is more flexible than the inside by virtue of it not haveing the big torqued down bolts, additional metal structure on the caliper itself, and mostly not being cantilevered. So the outside of the calliper is pushing away as its more bendy and brining the inside with it as an equal pressure on both sides of the caliper looks to cause more flex on the outside - which makes sense. I have done this same thing with the calliper unbolted from the dog bone - same thing happens. Although id have to watch more carefully to see how much more the outside moves than the inside in this case. Im guessing there is a point in the pedals travel where the pressure is not actually increasing in the system - its just volumne displacemnt - and because the outside of the calliper is more flexy, it receives that volume. Have gone back to Alcon again - but beyond a resolution there I would stay clear of this calliper and possibly any of the lighweight type of callipers - especially if you have the smaller 15/16" master cylinder. Cheers.
    • Yes, you can very clearly see from more than one angle that it is the whole caliper moving left-right, not deformation of the caliper. The top moves, the bottom moves. Equally. It should be possible to see where the movement is occurring. Just need to look more closely.
    • Hi Folks, my 2009 Skyline 370GT “Crossover” wagon is losing water and has been diagnosed as needing a water pump replacement (it’s an internal timing-chain driven unit, not the usual electric type that seems to be used across many manufacturers). Am looking for any repairer recommendations in the Sydney /Wollongong region who can be trusted and are experienced in this sort of work on the VQ 36 engine. Many thanks….Bill
    • While all of the above makes sense, we're not talking about some Ling Long calipers of AliExpress; Alcon would have to be one of the top 5 caliper suppliers in the world and these are not their budget units. If there were manufacturing defects in the caliper causing this issue I'd be very disappointed. Having re-watched the video a few times I think it's dog bone/mount related. The caliper moves independently to the rest of the suspension and brake assembly which suggests to me that it's not mounted rigidly. I know this sounds stupid, but have you got enough thread on the retaining bolts or are they a poofteenth too long and it's not super tight? For axial movement to be occurring without deforming the caliper that can be the only answer.
