Anyone Using Dba Brake Rotor?


Recommended Posts

yes...Did u use on ur R35?

Yes I did. DBA 5000 was first replacement discs. Not bad, not good. Similar as standard Nissan discs. After 8 months I changed to Alcon. I used DBA with PF pads, and stopping power was poor ( pads fault ) and I felt little vibration.

I highly recommend new Alcon discs which are installed to OEM hats. They are not expensive and very durable. You can get them from JDL in Europe :

I'm running them on my R35 with Endless MX72 Pads. Been great, done over 6-8 track days with very little wear on them.

Doing 1.04 @ Wakefield Park with them and not getting any fade for a 4 lap supersprint

If you shop around on eBay you can buy front and rear DBA rotors for the same price of only buying Alcon front rotors, so I think they are worth it and would be buy them again if I had too.

There are new option from Alcon 396 mm rotors with hats, very light and durable. Very good feedback in US and Europe http://www.jdl-brakes.com/alcon-front-discs-and-bells-396-mm-nissan-gtr-gen-1.html

    • Followed ☺️ Assuming those are NEO rods, then at least 400kW all day.
    • Lets keep this going , Spotted this very stock V35 in Penrith and also saw a nice R32 FLY past me on Castlereagh rd , sounded really good.
    • Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
    • I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.
    • I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door
