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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
