Hey guys, my rotors have had their better days and are due for a change, actually that worn that they can't be machined. I have a track day coming up and don't want to risk it with those brakes flying down a straight at 200. I've read mixed reviews on all rotors, just wanted to see what everyone thought. What rotors would be recommended for slight track use but mainly a daily. Note my budget isn't the greatest !

Car is a R33 gts-t

Thanks in advance

Over the years I've only used 3 types of rotors in my Riceline, OEM, RDA Slotted and Dimpled and DBA T3 Slotted. In my opinion there was very little difference in performance between the three as far as on the track went. I found that the main difference came to how glazed the rotors where at the end of the day (OEM glazed badly, RDA was better and DBA was even better than RDA) and NVH (OEM had little to no NVH, DBA had a little and RDA had the most)

If I had to do it all over again and price wasn't a consideration, I'd probably go the DBAs for no other reason than I like the look of the slot pattern. In reality I'd probably just go an OEM or OEM style because I'm tighter these days!

I think that you should move down this list depending on budget and application:

1. Two piece floating rotor (PFC, Project Mu, etc)

2. Two piece rotor (DBA5000, etc)

3. One piece rotor with uni directional vanes (DBA4000, RDA, etc)

All will be suitable for light track work.

Yeah if you want to waste even more money buy project mu.

Waste? Have had project mu on my car for years. They cope really well to track work and don't crack like I have experienced other rotors doing. The 2 piece I have on the front of my GTR have stood up really, really well. Something I cant say for their equivalent in a DBA or an RDA. So, yeah, if waste is fixing it once, properly, then waste away. You don't need to spend big dollars on Pommie stuff.

How much are you paying for your DBA rotors? And how many times do you multiply that by for replacement and/or machining?

Not all PMu rotors are two piece they have a number of different one piece options.

Anyway there is an option there. How cheap or how hard he uses them is up to him.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
