I bought slotted rotors and new brake pads for my R34 GTT. Trouble is, I cant remove the original rotors. No matter what I do, they seem like they are stuck there.

I thought the jacking bolts were 8mm, but when I tried with an 8mm its too small for it. Did anyone else have trouble removing the rotors? What can I use to make em come off ?

If the rotors are roo-ted chuck on some safety glasses (important) and use a hammer, beware of flying pieces :D If you cant fix it with a hammer then i'll be surprised.....

Hammer did work! A big one.. Used some anti-rusting agent before I put the new ones.

I had to take the bumper off so I can get the car on the drive way lol

Well done :) Hammer wins again!

Interested in knowing which DBA rotors you purchased and where from/how much etc...

Thinking of buying some myself as im pretty sure there isn't much left of my stock fronts and they might be a worthwhile replacement/improvement

Uh. They were fantastic. Very much better than the OEM disks.

Coupled with various types of better pads, they improved the braking performance out of sight.

I sold this car quite a while ago. Miss it still.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
