RDA and DBA are punched out from the same factory...

When i was looking up part numbers they were in the same book and under the same number :P

My brother runs ABS down here in Tassie and its interesting what i've found out while looking into brake/clutch upgrades/problems.

Then use the RDA. The DBA 4000's crack from the return slots. I have lost two rotors to this - one from & one rear & both with minimal wear.

What pads? I've cracked a few DBA4000's. I've heard but not looked up myself that RDA don't do 310mm replacement rotors for my car but considering trying to space out to 324mm to use R33GTR rotors.

Are there any standard sizes a little bigger than that I could maybe space out to? What do R34 GTR's run?

Pads, rears were Bendix Ultimates & fronts were Ferodo DS2500's. I will post up a pic when I get organised.

id prefer the rda over the dba slotted rotors. me and a friend went for a drive on the weekend down 2 nowra 4 the airshow same cars r34 gtts same brake fluid both have ebc redstuff pads only difference his car has dba and mine rda. i fitted and bled the brakes on both at the same time and when we were heading down there and we got stuck behind a horse float goin down the hill at kangaroo valley from moss vale and when we got 2 the bottom my brakes were fine but his had a bad vibration. we swaped cars and i drove his and the steering wheel was vibrating ab out 2 inches each way and it was hard 2 hold the wheel when braking but cleared up after a while of not braking 2 much. hope that helps.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
