[LastTemptation]

i went to a guy in north melbourne the other day and i ordered some, he called me back and told me he cant get them cos there out of stock. they wer DBA 4000 slotted for $180 ish.

does any one know where i can get rotors (DBA) or stock second hand with some meat on it cos i have been calling every nissan wreckers in the yellow pages and i only got one dude trying to sell them to me for 180,, second hand .

i only need them for road use. no track days. can anyone give me a idea on wer to go?

thanks, yusuf.

have you looked at other brands for the rotors GREX or CSC may be more expensive though!

Go to Lalor brake and clutch. About 560 for a brand new set with slotted front. I use them on the track and they are great. Screw the name brands.

skylinegeoff is that a whole set of four?

That's a whole set of four. Price may have gone up a little but there is nothing wrong with the quality or the braking feel or power. The disc s are wearing very evenly and no signs of cracking after 5 trackdays. Ask Duncan how well it was braking at Phillip Island last weekend, and on road tyres I have been outbraking HQ racecars at PI as well. I do use Racebrakes pads with no backing shims for better feel/less pedal travel and heel toe into the corners (with a different pedal pad setup) but the car is stable and well balanced under brakes.

That sounds like a great price. I'd be looking at something like that if the same shop was around my way.

Just out of interest what's no backing shim ? (or where does the backing shim sit?)

Thanks mate.

Most brake and clutch places can source them, the rears are apparently identical to a HSV model. I think they are RDA (rotors and drums).

The shims are a shiny thin plate that goes on the backs of the pads to reduce squealing but mine got warped at the back from the heat of running the rears to metal on metal at a trackday. The pads were half thickness but just disintegrated on the inside rears. Braking was still good on track but horrendous on the road with no heat. Braking feel is improved without them and they are about $200 new. Who cares about a bit of noise. They don't seem to squeal any more than before.

Pads and fluid are important as well. Racebrakes RD74 front and Comp2 rear and MOTUL DOT5.1 fluid.
