Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows the standard size for a R33 (1996) GTS-4 4-stud rear brake rotor/disc. I've looked around online (car is in the shop at the moment) and can only seem to be able to find front sizes or general R33 model size.

Is it a 297mm radius? that's the only number I've come across...

Also, anyone know where I can go about getting rear discs in the Melbourne area? I've been quoted $180 each and wanna see if I can find them anywhere for cheaper.

Thanks in advance for your help!

About rears - that's not as easy a question as it might look, there are two different p/n's for 4wd R33 rear rotors and it has something to do with production date - what is yours? Diameter and thickness may be different.

If you have pre-01.96 model, then they are same as S13, 266x9mm, and should be fairly easy to find.

If yours is post-01.96, then things get slightly more complicated, e.g. I couldn't find one for a sensible price, and diameter is also unclear, but they are cross-referenced as a replacement for A31 cefiro and C33 laurel rotors.

Are your rear rotors vented or solid?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
