R34 GTT front brake disc recommendations

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pick up a set of front brake discs for my R34 GT-T this weekend but I'm unsure which ones to go for.

Budget is set to around $200 for the front brakes. I have 18" wheels with stock calipers. Would prefer something slotted.

Can anyone recommend me which ones to get from a store I can pickup on Saturday? (ie: Supercheap, Autobarn or Repco).

Thanks

Slotted discs are intended to do one thing and one thing only.  That is to wear your pads away faster so that you need to buy them more often.  It's a cunning marketing/business development exercise perpetrated by the brake manufacturers.  They are of little to no use otherwise.

Stock or round here there are cheaper aftermarket rotors available. In other words get on your phone and find the cheapest price and buy those. Get some good pads and change your brake fluid.

I would have said DBA.  Which for the front of an R34 is DBA42304 (plus whatever letters go on the end to describe the product line).  But it appears that they don't bother doing a non-slotted front rotor for R34s.  On which basis I would therefore reverse my instruction to not buy slotted and say buy the 4000 series slotted ones.  They are also more than double your desired budget though.

There is probably only one other readily available option that is not chingchong brand cast from cardboard, which is RDA.

Thanks guys. As already mentioned I have a set of Intima Type D pads and also have some Dot 4 Super brake fluid.

Can someone link me the product I need exactly from a website like Supercheap auto?

If you have told me earlier I could have organised DBA rotors for tomorrow. 

If you want,  I'll check stock tomorrow and if they're in, I can arrange for you to pick up directly from their silverwater warehouse (if you're in Sydney, cant tell on mobile).

Flick me an email at Johnny  (at) trak-life.com

The rda warehouse is in keysborough. You can't buy from them direct but if you buy through a dealer, you should be able to go and pick up. I usually buy through online performance Hallam. They usually do decent pricing on plain rotors. You will have to pick up tomorrow though as both places are closed on weekends.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
