Dba 4000 Wiper Slot Pattern Rotors - Old Design Availability?

[iwanta34gtr]

Hi All,

Shopping for slotted rotors for my R34 GTR.

Was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a supplier that still has the DBA 4000 old wiper slot pattern if possible.

Maybe someone still has old stock etc remaining on the shelf?

Just a personal preference, however if necessary will settle for the new style design.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link mate, just gave them a call however they do not have the old style design.

Will keep them in mind though when it comes to purchasing.

Cheers.

Try a Super Cheap Auto / Auto Barn / Bursons.

I bought my set from Super Cheap Autos, through a friend.

But are the new T3 design, but see how you go.

The new design is "balls deep", and by that I think I mean awesome, or some such.

Quality input, I know.

When new models come out, like most things, the old stock is returned to the manufacturer or sold on 'special' to clear and rebates given.

You'll have a hard time finding them in most instances. What business wants to carry old stock when customers want new stuff?

The old design was prone to cracking when pushed. It makes no sense to try to get the flawed design now that its been superceeded with a better design.

^^^ this

Adam recalls how these were prone to cracking.

Any slots that go to the edge, and at right angles to the edge, are prone to cracking.

It's the same principle where...

* a glass cutter needs to go right to the edge for glass to crack - if it doesn't it's hard to snap

* a tablet that is scored across the middle to enable a 1/2 dose needs the scoring to go to the edge to facilitate cracking

So you wouldn't want to have your rotor slots anywhere near the edge; or worse still, perpendicular to the edge.

Thanks again for the info guys.

Was unaware of the design flaws with the previous pattern - makes sense.

The "NEW OLD" model fixed this problem, the slots stop before the edge by around 5mm, on the front anyway, and I never heard of anyone having problems with the rears.

[R31Nismoid]

Skylines are far too front heavy for the rears to get the same level of heat/cracking going on.

Most people will replace the fronts twice before even touching the rears once in most cases.
