I have a set of 4 brake rotors for sale which came off a 1995 Nissan Skyline R33 RB25DET.

* My reason for selling is I have just upgraded to the new DBA Rotors.

* These are the original stock rotors which have done 72,000km.

* They were last machined about 5mths ago and are in good condition.

* Pics available at:

* I have no idea what they are worth and im not too technically minded (as far as what they will/won't fit) so go easy...

I bought the DBA's in the recent group buy and i think they cost me like $900ish fitted for front n back.

I haven't noticed any difference with them for a couple of reasons...

I only did 300km on the new DBA's before hitting them way -too- hard at a trackday resulting in glazing them and giving em a wash in brake fluid :P . So after that trackday I got new fluid put in and my brake pedal just doesnt even feel normal let alone better from the DBA's so i think i need to get them looked at again (in about 2wks before i hit the next trackday).

Really though i dont think in normal street driving you will feel a difference i bought them purely for that little bit extra at trackdays (which im yet to notice because of above and coz my tyres are bald).

You'd have to measure them with calipers to get any indication of how much they're worth. Near-new I would say they'd be worth maybe $200 the pair machined (machined because without doing that there's no way to determine their thickness with any accuracy), or if worn down below the halfway point maybe $100 the pair? New rotors are 30mm thick, and the run-out point is 28mm.

Unfortunately there's no way to tell how much they've been worn just by stating the odometer reading. The amount of wear they've had will be largely dependant on driving style and type of pads used, and for all you know they could be the 2nd or 3rd set of rotors used on the car (entirely possible if the car had done any trackwork in Japan).

If you've been running the Ultimates on them since they got machined 5 months ago, you might find they're up for machining again.

Measurements are:

Front Left: 28.20mm

Front Right: 28.98mm

Rear Left: 17.67mm

Rear Right: 16.50mm

I believe they are good for 1 more machining but do not need to be machined yet (surface is very smooth).

$200 for all 4 pickup

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
