Just side tracking a little here Steve, I've got a question.

What brakes better, a 300mm disc with x surface area brake pad, or a disc with 333mm disc and same x surface area pad?

Also for better performance, would you make a bigger pad, or is bigger disc more effective?

A larger diameter disc = greater brake torque

Larger disc mass = better heat capacity

Larger surface area pad = longer pad life

It depends on what improvements you are looking for.

G'day all,

I had a similar problem with my 32 GTR. 4 hard laps

@ Wakefeild and my peddle went like a limp chicken!

:lol:

I'm was running Green Stuff up front and standards in

the rear (later I found that they were down to the steel)

I'm going up to wakefield again on Friday. so.....

I believe the brake fluid is what let me down?

I have put Kevlar's in the back and cleaned up my fronts!

Should I flush the brake system and go to DOT 5.1? or stick

with the DOT 4?

Steve, are these new rotors available to us humble aussies?

R,

Adrian

Yes they are!

There will be a two piece version available soon too. Prototypes are sitting on my desk.

I would look into better pads too. Ferodo DS 2500 or DS 3000.

Steve,,,I have your sloted and drilled discs on the front of my R33 GTS-T using Greens. The cars brakes are WAY better than standard. I'm as happy as a pig in shit!!!!.My problem is,,, I have been waiting for a set of sloted rears for ages now and I MEAN ages. Am I being stuffed around or are they actually available.

I'm not interested in trackwork by the way.

Neil.

294 and 330mm?  

will these suit for street driving and the odd motokhana when coupled with greenstuff or race gear pads?

We are still working on this one. We have found 3 different front rotors so far for this model.

1. 296mm x 32mm = DBA 926

2. 296mm x 30mm = ?

3. 310mm x 30mm = ?

We have samples but we have not alocated numbers to the last 2 yet. We need to confirm model specs for each part.

The rear is the DBA 908.

so what's the part number for it heheh :P

cheers

Joe

70 new part numbers this year my friend and another 50 being assessed. This takes time even at 15 hours a day. If you would like to order 100 to 1000 rotors I can move it forward otherwise its a Christmas job for me.

We missed our window of oportunity earlier this year, so this is the next one..:)

I'm very interested in new Skyline rotor developments. Kangaroo paw style rotors are what I'd mostly be interested in, but I can't decide if I'd want slotted or not (depends on the pads I upgrade to I guess).

Steve, is the DBA website updated often? The last time I went there a few weeks ago, I couldn't find anything other than standard rotors for Skylines. Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough, is there a direct link to new models of Skyline rotors?

I too are looking for a rotor upgrade in around 3mths time. Im sure what i currently have (standard rotors just recently machined) are fine for my driving (10km stints of start/stop) but in that 1 case that i do need to brake heavily i want to know that my gear can handle it.

No idea about any of this stuff, when i recently got new bendix pads on the back i was looking at those yellow dba slotted and cross-drilled fitted for about $1,400 or something ridiculous.

Anyway thats my story.

I get in trouble for this all the time.:P

Because I use these forums to get information on upcoming projects you guys know about new products before marketing. We are still working on the GTS series so additions will be made over the next few months. We did the GTR first because of overseas demand. I know a link has been set up for a Skyline specific page on the website but I don't believe the information has been compiled yet. If you go to the WRX page you'll see the format we will use.

whether or not to go with slotted rotors depends on the type of driving you do.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
