What is your thought on the SCR porject mu rotor?

I wanted to go DBA 4000 but after reading all these bad review, I'm thinking about paying 120$ more and get the project mu SCR. I already have the 4000 in the rear, should I swap them too or the braking on the rear is not powerful enought to damage the rotor?

DBA are fine in everything including hard motorsport use, I run them on my race car. save the money and buy them

A few years back there was some sort of bad batch of DBA skyline rotors where heaps of them cracked, but there has never been any problems before or since

Both are fine.

After researching the DBA 4000 T3 design and feed back from other people using them, I just went for them.

Also I got them at a good price.

But if you can cash out the funds for Project Mu rotors, it would only do you good.

  • 3 years later...

Had SCR's on the front of my car and after 15,000 street kms and 2 trackdays I cracked both fronts. Was not impressed and would no buy again.

After about 10 days at RAC, Racewars and 3 stints at barbagallo my Project Mu’s are starting to crack, well developing cracks

Looking at the following:-

Another set of Mus

or

DBA 5000 2 piece

Any other brands I should be considering in the same price range?

After 5 years or so my SCR Pro front rotors on my GTR are fine. They have fine cracks in the surface of the rotors - not to be confused with massive cracks that run tot he whole depth of the rotor and which mean you have to bin them.

Also if you buy the Pro series you can keep the hat and replace the rotor and save a few hundred bucks.

Also DBA do not make 5000 series for R32's as afar as I can remember.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
