okie time to do the brakes on me line, mine are FCKED!!

so i need something slotted like DBA 5000s or something but ghey autobarn rekon they dont make 5000s for GTSts, only GTRs, so i need somewhere that sells brake rotors/pads that will fit my line, but i want good ones that will last a while and brake hard and wont crack etc like drilled ones do

cheers :)

Banana... rule #1

dont go to autobhan.

second... you need a set of 4000 (not 5000) series rotors.

Racebrakes will be the best price.

Pads, again just get RB74's.

Just come down with me in a few weeks and hpe they dont remember you lol

DBA 5000s are only for GTRs unfortunately.

But you can get DBA 4000s for all skyline models, look on:

http://www.dba.com.au/catalogue/pdf/online...4000_online.pdf

For an r33 gtst, the part numbers are 4963 for front, and 4908 for rear. You can get them in plain, slotted , crossdrilled or slotted and cross drilled.

You can use the DBA 5000s for the GTR on your GTS, its just that they arent bolt on, you will need a bracket to relocate the caliper to allow for the additional diameter of the rotor...no biggie, thats how i am able to use 330mm rotors, (ok they may be 324 or 328mm, i cant remember exactly)

It was Race Brakes in Sydney that actually did my conversion, and they were going to use the DBA 5000 series on my R32, but 3 weeks before i was going to do the upgrage i ran out of pads at a track day and ruined the std rotors, so was a pay cheque short so just got one piece rotors instead. Same diameter though

i cant really be bothered with modifying stuff like that

are the 5000s *that* much better than 4000s ? or are 4000s awesome ? what pads should i use ? bendix ultimates ?

whats average cost for supplying 4000 series rotors front n abck in slotted (do i really need slotteds on back or is it waste of money ?) and prices on pads anyone know ? ill fit myself providing its all bolt up stuff :(

I got a quote last week from racebrakes for slotted 4000's - front and back were the same price and about $340 each from memory (have it written down at home)

5000's were about $560 - but replacement disks were only $300 or so.

The non slotted 4000's for rears were $265. I was going for these as a) slotted aint really needed for rears and B) will wear your rear pads out a lot less.

Also - if you aint going to get racebrakes to fit the rotors - maybe check out these guys if you know the part numbers. They seem to have a good deal on 4000's including motul brake fluid - free freight too.

As stated, you can actually get the 5000 series for a GTS-t.

I'm getting them put on my R31 :)

It's getting technical but when you use the 5000 series you can customise your offset.

It just costs a little more initially

There is no difference between DBA4000 & DBA5000 in terms of how they work.

The are identical.

The difference lies in how they are designed.

The 5000 are a two-piece rotor.

The 4000 are a one piece rotor.

Does that make sense? If not i'll explain to you tomorrow Nathan.

DJ save your money. About $500 - 600 for a full set of slot front and plain vented rear (you don't need slots there) and allow 300 for racebrakes pads full set. Call Lalor brake and clutch as I am real happy with my braking on the track (except when the old pads self destruct on the rear)

I will guarantee that with the same tyres and no ABS you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the wanky name brand stuff and the BDA (not DBA) discs. Just do the pads over the phone and racebrakes won't know you.

Im with Geoff, the std Nissan gear is great at the track, good fluid and pads is all you need, perhaps braided lines if you are a good enough driver to exploit the better feel through the pedal (im not...but i have them anyway in case one day i get a clue)

The std stuff only becomes an issue when you are running sticky tyres and have plenty more power then std, and driving on a circuit. You are a brave man to find the limits of the factory brakes on the street.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
