Ok so heres the story..

I bought the car a few months ago, and with it i got all these extra's which weren't put on the car yet.. and one of those things were 4 Brake rotors.. which aparently came off a R34 GTR.. 

Now i do have pics of them, but before you look at them this is what i thought..

These rotors came in DBA boxes.. so im guessing the guy who had these rotors, basically replaced them with the DBA ones and put the stock GTR ones into the DBA box.

Now all i want to do is confirm what rotors they are ? and if they would fit my R34 ( non turbo ). And would i need new brake calipers? And if so .. what type .. ?

When you do put new / bigger rotors on the R34, the stock ones are sort of sitting inside of something, and obviously a bigger rotor wont fit in it.. look at the pic of the rim down below, the rotor is sitting inside of something.. what is that and how do i cme about putting bigger ones on? 

Im not really keen on putting these on my R34 because i wanted to buy some slotted / dimpled rotors next year.. or will these do a better job with some good calipers ? Because i need some stopping power since i might be doing a turbo conversion.  

So can you guys gimme' an approx to how much these rotors would be worth? And how much i could offload the stock R34 non turbo Rotors and calipers for ? 

Cheers guys!

Measure the total diametre of them and also the thickness. Then we might know what they're off and if that are to skinny (worn) to be used again.

They don't look like anything special though mate.

Thats what i thought aswell, well i'll go and measure them out see how they are and i'll post it up.

Other then that i know that theyre just a lil bit bigger then the stock R34 non turbo ones. But i'll measure all of that tonight if i get the chance,

cheers

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
