Woo Monday morning I have a meeting to discuss the transfer to my new job!!!!!

Yayayayayay I got it :D!!!!

Congratz man,

Ok so once again i need some parts help lol, so its time for a set of slotted rotors and some new pads, im going with QFM street pads as they are awesome (used on my last car) but the rotors im stuck between the DBA T2 and T3 (club spec) the T3 are like $450 a set for fronts and $380 for rears, and the T2 are like $500 for all 4. Is it worth the coin to get the T3?

I went the T3 as i didnt want them cracking on the track, although my POS didnt let me go quick enough to worry anyway lol

But yeah go the T3, dont cheap out on brakes man!

Yeh i was looking at the T3 is anyone able to explain the difference for me? im guess its something to do with heat from what u said Matt?

Compare these mate -

also there is a T3 5000 and a T3 4000 whats the diff in thoes?

Lube or no lube haha

I went to go the 5000 until i realised they were about $500-600 per rotor, just still with the 4000 mate!

hmmm, well cheers for the help man, have some decisions to make now, i also need to replace the clutch and coilovers as clutch is slipping and coilovers are leaking, i think they are like 10 years old or more since they came with the car from Japan.

Yeah well just look at what you want to use the car for and purchase based on that! Shortcuts will get you breakdowns like my car lol, i spent so much in all the right places but skimped on the fuel system :P No more probs now!

And clutch, once again weigh up what you are using it for! Skids hopefully!

Yeh well my end goal atm is 300-320KW at the wheels, and a street setup on the brakes and suspension as i dont do track work, i will run it at the drags when Sushi wants to have a crack but its going to be a pavement pounder so handleing is at the top of my list, 300KW on the street i think is more then enough. I want to be able to get the power to the ground and keep it there, so suspension and brakes is high on my list but idk if i need the T3 as its not going to see much track maybe once a year if that. I have been looking for a 2nd hand OS clutch twin plate if i can find one, if not ill call JB and get a single plate customer built for the street. Coilovers im looking at another set of Zeal Function X or a high end set of BC.

Well maybe the T2 will suffice or the RDA etc..... Did you check with GSL Rallysport?

As for clutch there is NO need for a twin plate or triple plate etc..... Its up to you what you choose but a single can take 500kw+ of done right....

Thats good info Matt, i was thinking of getting the Twin plate because in a few years im planing to do a big single conversion and turn it into a track car when i buy a daily, but thats when its all paid off and shiz, so for now its 300KW on probs a power FC with some injectors and a fuel pump.

twin plate clutch puts a lot of stress on the driveline.

if you dont upgrade the necessary supporting components you can get cracking in the firewall as well.

The nismo twin for the 34r is very well regarded as one of the best out of the box all round performers.

Not cheap, but handles heaps of power, and drives similar to stock.

It's what I will be putting in when I do the next stage of engine mods...

You clown Benji!!! The only crack in the firewall will be when you don't torque the flywheel and the clutch goes through it and the bonnet lol...

My single plate has 4600lb clamp which is more than most twin plates and the pedal feel is lighter than a lot of cars...

Ant - yes they are a good all rounder but big $

Totally incorrect benji. No extra stress is put on the driveline at all - what your getting confused with is that a clutch is designed to fail before the driveline parts approach there operational limit...so to much power and a good clutch can cause issues for diffs etc.

The r34 Gtr drive line can take 1000hp with little modification, so Adam should be right no matter what he chooses.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
