Hi guys,

I'm building a coffee table with a 20x12 Ferrari 458 wheel. I want to bolt a brake rotor to it for visual effect.

So hoping someone has an old disc laying around they don't need and would be happy to donate to the cause.

Doesn't matter if it's warped, lipped, rusted etc....I'm just going to paint it and bolt it to the wheel.

It's a 20" wheel so the larger the better, slotted, drilled, or two piece floating rotor would be ideal!

Preferably for pick up around Melbourne.

Cheers

Mat

I've got a DBA4000 Slotted 294mm rotor (R33 Turbo front rotor size) that's been scored up a bit by a crumbling brake pad. Replacing them, so it's no use to me anymore... I think it'd look pretty tiny inside a 20" wheel though.

Consider it a backup option if you need it...

Good idea! I guess on that note, I could probably ring Lance Dixon and see if they've got any old ceramic rotors laying about !

I guess I just though a Nissan forum would be easier as the 458 has a 5x114.3 PCD - which is pretty unusual for a fazza.

Must be so the Ferrari owners are able to run mid 90's japanese rims with sick offset and put stanceworks stickers all over it.

Edit: Kill me now...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/

      Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks

      All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
