Car Model: R32GTST

Year: 1990

Rim size: 17 X 8

Rim name/type: Speedy Hollow Type R

Rim offset: +35

Rim internal diameter: 410 mm

Front Brake brand: R32GTST M Spec

Caliper size: 4 spot

Disc size: 340 mm x 32 mm DBA 5000 Series

Pads: Hawk

Any problems with pad wear or coverage with this setup? Any pics? DBA have told me that the reason my DBA4000s cracked is beacuse i am running the GTSt caliper (intended for a 280mm rotor) on a 324mm rotor so the pad depth on the rotor causes thermal issues within the rotor. Result is a crack. Personally i think its their get out of jail argument...it has merit on paper but there is no way i think thats the contributer to why their rotors crack with track work

Note 32 mm thick x 340 mm DBA 5000 series rotors, ie, not a Skyline rotor. The R32GTST M Spec calliper is the same as an R32GTR calliper, except the GTR legs are 8 mm longer ie; the pads are the same. So a more valid comparison is 296 mm versus 324 mm in your case. That's 14 mm radius, hardly a big deal as long as you stick to appropriate heat up and cool down procedures. Track days can be a bitch for that, the inexperienced people just don't understand why I complain when they try and make me sit there stationery on pit entry. For additional capacity, the 5000 series are the go and 32 mm is available in 324 mm.

I take it you are running a machine down 343mm rotor (HSV?) What hat do you use on the 5000 rotor ?

I used this setup for years and never a worry. From some time 2002 to 2006, the rotors i took off where still not undersized, but thought i would change them to new DBA 4000 just to make sure that i didnt have any problems. The new DBA 4000 are RUBBISH compared to what i purchased in 2002. So certainly encourage ppl to go to 5000 as they dont seem to have the same problems...lol they also dont have the same slot design :)

You can stuff a 355 rotor inside a 17" rim. Nice work.

Any chance of a photo and or the rim internal diameter?

Got it in one on the rotors, I am trying something new this year in hats, I'll post it up once I have tested it out sufficiently.

I used this setup for years and never a worry. From some time 2002 to 2006, the rotors i took off where still not undersized, but thought i would change them to new DBA 4000 just to make sure that i didnt have any problems. The new DBA 4000 are RUBBISH compared to what i purchased in 2002.

That's not unusual, old rotors have all the stresses heat cycled out of them. For the 1993 and 1994 12 Hour races we drove around the streets for a few weeks, cycling the rotors for that same reason. We had not one sign of the rotor cracking problems we had in 1992. Same rotor manufacturer, same pads.

So certainly encourage ppl to go to 5000 as they dont seem to have the same problems...lol they also dont have the same slot design :banana:

I agree, for decent track work, the 5000 series are the go.

Cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      Japan Scrapbook

      By Rezz · Posted

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Rezz · Posted

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
