Depends on what you are after Heath. I now use the DBA brakes and I really like them. They have a heap of different types depending on the level of performance you are after.

I got mine from Racebrakes in Nth Melbourne.

You can get info on the different rotors DBA make at their website:

FYI - I'm running the DBA5000 slotted fronts and the DBA4000 slotted rears.

yeah DBAs seem to be what everyone uses... especially when u see the prices of the Japanese performance brakes!

slotteds are like 170 or 180 each and the sports are about 220 depending on where u go

They are DBA Slotted. yeah i thought $193 each for rear rotors wasnt too bad. He seems to be very cheap compared to alot of other companies who I called. If you need any brake parts I highly recommend them.

I emailed Racebrakes about some prices a few weeks ago, and this is what i got back from them. All for R32 Gtst Type M:

DBA Long life Gold (slotted and drilled):

DBA909x $210.00 each (Front)

DBA908x $225.00 each (Rear)

DBA Standard:

DBA908sl $193.60 each (rear slotted)

DBA908 $185.00 each (rear normal)

DBA 4000 Series:

DBA4909 & DBA4908 $194 EACH (normal)

DBA4908SL/SR & DBA4909SL/SR $246 EACH (slotted)

DBA4908XS & DBA4909XS $300 EACH (slotted and drilled)

There you go, I think im going to go the longlife golds for the front, because i dont do any track work and dont have the money for the 4000's.

shxt....i just replace mine with DBA 4000 slotted rotors...and i boutght them for 250each....

For that price i think he must have just got the standard slotted rotors, not the 4000 series.

I have actualy purchase DentonR33's GTST.. I havent actualy picked it up yet. Hopefully this week or early next week. I wont be doing much track work because the car will be a daily driver and I dont want to write it off and also im planning on a big return back into the Formula 3 series again next year all going well. I will be most defently up for winton/phillip island track days but not sandown. I think Sandown and Calder park are the worst tracks I have driven on. But I will be heading out on some SAU cruises and really really looking forward to meeting everyone and going for a spin!

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
