i have just cracked a dba 4000 at the track and looked into new rotors.

RDA for the road and light track work (have a look in the group buy section, i had no problems with these)

DBA 4000 for the same purpose of as above, but cost more....will crack under prolonged heat (from experience)

DBA 5000 are two piece, better cooling, lighter, cheap end of the 2 piece rotors, double the price of the 4000 and well over 3 times the price of RDA

Project Mu 2 piece, almost double the price of 5000, more of a track rotor

brembo, harrop etc, didnt even look into

i bought the dba 5000, two track days later, they seem fine.

Cracking after track work in a very common problem for the 4000's. I know of too many who have cracked them after a track day and would not recommend them for track work.

You'll be surprised by the price of the Brembo Sport rotors. They were only $50 or so more than the 4000's.

I've used the Brembo Sport and RDA's for road and track work; both are good.

Hey all, Wanting to get some opinions on some good rotors to upgrade on my R. Looking at the DBA 4000/ 5000 series. Not too sure what else is out there and where to look.

Cheers

Import yourself some 2 piece project mu rotors - they are much better than the DBA 5000's (IMHO). They are lighter than the 1 piece rotors too.

I am fairly sure you cannot get 2 piece rear rotors for the smaller size on the GT-R's.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
