I just took a careful look at djr81's rotor photos - on my as yet uncracked DBA4000s, the slot is NOT machined all the way to the edge like it is in those photos. It stops a few mm short. Perhaps they updated the design?

djr...they don't make 5000's for the rears which is why I was considering 4000's :wave:

Also had a look at greenline and nengun and for the life of me I can't find mu or endless rotors for the rear of a 33....am I going blind?

No you are not.

Sorry for the bum steer. I thought they did. Dodgy memory.

I think the reason is that the handbrake works on the inner drum section (or hat if you like) So no one makes the hatted rotors for the rear.

They dont make any 5000 series at all for the povvo pack 32 R's either.

Except for a mob called Biot who appear to.

Hmmm so you can't get rear rotors from greenline/nengun and the RDA's and DBA's crack with track use....

Whats options am I left with to replace my worn stockies then?

You can get plenty of rotors, just not hatted ones. Check the usual imports mobs. Endless/Project Mu. With the way the dollar is going lately they will be practically giving them away....

The Biot stuff looks well bling if you can get your hands on them.

Maybe AP or Brembo do one also. Big $'s, but.

Actually looking at the difference between djrs and mine it looks like they may just machine the a 324 to bring it down 296 - look at the way the vanes go all the way to the edge on the 296's and are smoothly machined, where as the 324 still have the cast finish and stop well short of the edge. Perhaps they further machine poorly cast 324s to make them saleable as 296's....

Reckon you may be onto something there. :wave:

Notice also how much wasted rotor face there is on the inside of your rotor.

just because nengun says so doesn't make it true. I have bought from project mu scr pro rear rotors for BCNR33. yes they are 2 piece and have the drum built into the hat. :wave:

LOL...for the rears im thinking std Nissan with some home made slots machined into them :wave:

Im all for the fish hook or long curved slots like the G4 as there are less likely to be stress concentrators.

Im just going to sell my car and get a Mk 1 Escort. Single piston sold rotors are less complicated and up to the job when you have a 650kg 180hp car :(

Lol Baron....I wasn't suggesting that to be the case....I just need to find someone who will supply me the rotors here in Oz.....does anyone know who I could contact?

Sorry to bring this up again, but from where did you order them? I can't find anyone who either lists them or is willing to admit they can supply them...

And DBA are not talkign to me now, perhaps they dont want to lie as their investigations may have revealed that my installation was in no way at fault :P

Anyway, if they dont do something to stop the failures or at least properly educate those installing them then they are going to continue to lose lots of business, shame really. I woudll rather run used std Nissan rears then anything DBA, and its not because of money, just confidence in th :(e std product doing a better job then anything dba sell :P

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
