Hi all, i have a 4 stud r33 gts which is going in for a roadworthy next week, and i was wondering what the minimum disc thicknesses are? I have called dba and they have no idea, and i work at a nissan dealership and nobody there has a clue either (probably because its an import) anyway i was just wondering how thick they need to be, to be in spec?

The minimum thickness "should" be stamped on the edge (that's where mine are on rda slotted)

Try calling some brake shops to check with them - they might be able to help

Prob won't help at the time but the road worthy will be able to tell if you've got enough meat left on your rotor

just took a measure from my stock rotors laying around (r33 gtst) which was 27.5mm - now last time i took them in to a brake shop (before swapping them over) they said they were past legal limits. so at a guess 28mm would be the lowest

The R33 GTS runs a 280x26mm rotor from stock, not a 28mm thick rotor. I'm guessing 24mm is minimum thickness, going off another rotors I've had around the same size.

You seem right if it's a rb25de r33 (numbers in brackets). Australian laws might be different though.

    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
