D_Stirls, Nice find..

When I removed my bushes I did the same except used a drill bit popped the middle then used a hack saw to cut the outer shell. Once the shell was cut it popped out without drama.

I then used a piece of exhaust pipe and smacked the new Noltec bush in.

they sell r33 for like 280 each rotor there!

My brother (GROWLY Custom Machining) will do basic slotting (RDA/DBA straight slot design or curved slots) for around the $40 mark so remember this when you by new rotors, it might be cheaper to get plain rotors and get them slotted. He will do them cheaper again if you get a whole set done.

This is my rotors he did, something like this would be $55.

hmmmm, thats very handy! id say standard rotors would be cheaper than slotted right?

and 55 per corner? = 200 atleast for slotting.......i might work out dearer??? sorry, just thinking out loud here....

does this help :)

oohhh, where can i get a 33 gtr placard in case i get pulled over for my 19s?

as nos man pointed out R33 are dearer that price of $129 ea is for falcadoore

i see supercheap sells DBA slotted rotors, 129 ea.....would they stock them for a 33?

Matt the owner of Growly Custom Machining told me take all the prices too him and he will make sure it doesnt work out dearer how much farer can that be

Matt is a top bloke and is here for the community whislt earning a honest living doing what he loves

BTW Matt re drilled my GTSt rotors to suit 4 stud while i waited for my conversion :)

If you look at that picture those rotor have been drilled to 4 stud as they are fitted on my 180sx.

The $55 was for my design which involves more machine time that the standard sots and hence are more expensive. like i said before the basic slots are around $40 and cheaper when you do all 4.

He'll slot any rotor provided they are thicker than the minimum thickness.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
