Just trying to understand how much am I losing, gaining, if I go with ATTKD instead of DBA 5000's - my original rotors are warped, and I might as well go the 2-piece route.

ATTKD 2-piece ones are $499

(+shipping) on justjap site, presume for a set, and DBA's are quite a few $ more.

Are DBA 5000's worth the extra money.

Is it hard to find replacement parts for ATTKD's? DBA replacement parts are fairly easy to find.

Any feedback would be great.

Cheers

I'd be grabbing the ATTKD over the 5000's. Something to think about is the new DBA4000 design, iirc they will be around the same price as the ATTKD and can't see them being any better.

So I'd get the ATTKD.

I'm using the ATTKD / KSPORT / G4 / D2 330mm rotor

What are you using the car for??

If it's predominately a street driven car go with an ordinary single piece rotor. Under your foot your not going to notice any difference from a base model RDA to a 5000 series DBA.

Well, I'm basically using it to fill the empty space in the garage, but I do a track day or two. Hoping to do all the SAU-Vic rounds next year, so could see some use for the 5000's, otherwise I'd go for the 4000's.

Thanks for the advice John, considering the pace you do guess those ATTKD's are not bad at all then!!!

I recently converted my front end brakes to ATTKD 8 spots & 356mm rotors & can't fault them what so ever . Great on the road , great on the track with no break fade what so ever . For the price i think they are great value for money :)

If you do end up deciding to just go the 4000 series, we've got 9 pairs of front slotted to suit in stock that we're doing on special at the moment, $184.80 per rotor.

need 18's for that setup - otherwise I could run them in the future.

I have 19's on mine , so i have no problems with clearance . Your right though 18 are the minimum with the 356mm rotors :) I have the Attkd 8 spots up front , with standard 2 spots at rear with Dba t slot rotors & project mu pads. Also got braided lines all way round , cusco master cylinder stopper & Motul Rbf 600 brake fluid . This setup is fantastic & have no brake issues what so ever !

Well, I ended up getting a set of ATTKD's 2 piece rotors, DBA mucked me around a bit, took more then 3 weeks since I put an order in and they still couldn't tell me if and when I'll receive them so I cancelled the order...................but funny thing happened with my original rotors - they don't feel warped any more, even when I brake really hard they feel smooth just like before. hmmm, funny that ey, so I decided to leave them on the car for a while and I'll swap to those ATTKD's later - its not bad having a spare set of rotors on the bench.

You guys reckon they'll just warp as soon as they get hot again or they may be ok for a while longer?

Damn, I didn't knew about these... let say, I start learning how to lap next year, would the DBA 4000 still be fine or should I go ATTK right away?

Anyone tried the AMS rotor?

I would keep the original rotors on, until they crack or warp, and just fit the car with good brake pads, and really good brake fluids. Your old discs are probably very good, they would have gone through the heat cycle many times and will be better then some brand single piece disc.

I used original rotors with DS2500 and RBF600.

was also looking at the comparison as i hae the DBA5000's on atm and considered the difference against the ATTKD branded ones. have spoken to Justjap and theyve told me its technically same as the D2/k-sport/taiwanese-made gear, just with a japanese company branding on it with the workshop's consent.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
