Breaks Totaly Warped

[StOjA32]

Hey guys on my 32gtst the breaks are totally warped... they have been machined too many times and it looks like the discs will need to be changed...

firstly does anyone know how my discs got so warped to begin with?

and when it comes to changing discs, is it a big job. ive never changed discs b4.

would anyone know of some half decent disc i should get. something better than standard

[race_snooze]

search for the answer to decent brakes, its not a hard job to change discs. Decent pair, DBA4000 slotted!!

[Trav33]

Yeah rotors are very easy to replace yourself...

[Nick033]

do the have the be torqued to a certain amout or just make sure there tight????

[MrStabby]

Dont use DBA4000s if you intend to track it - they will probably crack, see HERE

Make sure the mating surfaces are completely clean when you install the new rotors (ie between the rotor and hub) otherwise they will feel warped.

You'd shouldnt ever need to machine rotors unless something really bad has happened. If you're replacing pads just sand the surface until its dull before installing the new pads.

Your disk get warped due to hard braking over many years.

Best change it and have 2 brand new ones + new brake pads.

My disk were warped so just got my mechanic to change them over for me.

yeah why are you machining skyline rotors?

they arent soft like euros...

also what do you mean torquing the rotors right?

arent they floating?

What makes you think they were warped?

whats all this crap about not machineing skyline rotors, thats the biggest load of crap ive ever heard, you should be machining your discs whenever you replace pads so they bed in properly, and they get warped by things like getting them hot then having to sit at traffic lights with your foot on the break, thats why when you finish your ;aps at the track you dont put your handbreak on you just let the car sit there so they can cool down with no uneven pressure, yes they are floating, not need for torque specs. and after time your rotors will get glazed, thats one reason for squeal and another reason to machine them when you get new pads, when they wear they dont wear flat they will get grooves in them, if you just scratch them up a bit you wont make them flat, then when you put your new pads in they wont be contacting the whole surface and will wear unevenly.

also your disc will warp easier the thinner they are.

oh and im pretty sure, not 100% but some euro cars dont machine their discs, they replace them.
