Hi All,

I've just been looking on the DBA website for some new rotors but it looks like they are only making them for Brembo calipers. I've had a bit of a search and not really come up with much as far as options. I don't want to upgrade my brakes or add spacers/brakets ect ect just to accomodate for the larger DBAs.

So my question is what are my options for keeping the standard calipers, the car's not a daily and I'd like to start doing some light track work with it soon. So looking for something slotted.

Just look for R33 gts-t. Same thing.

Get RDA, better value if you are only doing the odd track trip in a stocker car.

Pretty sure gtst rotors 2mm thinner, ie 30mm while early gtr is 32mm.

+1 for RDAs.

Hi mate,

DBA definitely do your rotors in 4000 series slotted, and for track work would be the ideal option. Made in Australia, high carbon content (for better performance and longer life) and thermal marking paint to monitor track temps. To suit your car are $198 each for the front, and $148.50 each for the rear.

They fit, but they're not the same thing. The GTR rotors are 2mm thicker than the GTS-T. Doesn't sound like much but thermal mass when you're chasing performance is significant.

They're cheaper, but when being used hard won't last as long as the 4000 series, so some of that cost saving is offset by that. RDA slotted to suit are $349 for the front pair, and $185 for the rear pair.

Going up from that would be something from Project Mu, but the pricing gets fairly serious also.

Any questions at all just let us know!

Regards,

Greg

Ah ok, 2mm - fair point.

You can get the RDA under $300 a pair for fronts if you shop around. Could go through 1.5 sets of RDA for the price of one set of DBA. Comes down to what the end user wants/budget as there is nearly 40% price difference.

RE: Rotor wear. It is as much about pad choice in terms of how long a rotor will last. Get a pad that is hard on rotors, and rotor composition will be the least of your worries.

I've got the new club spec slot 4000series on my 32gtr.

Got the whole set for 600(4 rotors).

Keep looking, they are on the website.

From memory, not with the rest, have to go down the list a bit.

A couple of years back bunch of us had 4000's crack with track use (the thread should be easy to find). Are they any better now?

Yep, it was mainly down to the old slot design. Same reason the 5000 series in the old design never had that extra little slot on the outside that the 4000 did.

I'm in now way knocking RDA (well sell thousands of their rotors every year with never a problem) but when used with an aggressive race or street pad, the DBA will easily pull back the 40% price difference in terms of rotor life.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
