My front rotors are pretty scored and rooted in my new car (good ol' japanese).. Don't think it would pass a roadworthy and compliance which I am still doing. Its a 1989 R32 GTS-T

So I may as well get some good DBA slotted ones for the track and other fun.

Now it looks as if I have the pov-pack 2pot brakes (no "nissan" printed on them) as I don't think mine is the "m spec". Will this mean I can use the same rotors as any other R32?

From the DBA part database, it lists DBA4909 for R32 fronts - also listed is DBA4963 for R33 which is thicker and larger diameter...

I read a few posts which tend to indicate that the rotor sizes are interchangeable, its just the calipers that can be changed. So why are there two part numbers in the catalogue for R32 + R33 ??

Eventually I will have to upgrade to the R32 4pot or R33 calipers, so I am wondering should I go for the R32 rotors now, or would I be best off going for the R33 rotors for the larger diameter / thickness for better heat distribution??

Yeah, i want the slotted which is the "4000" part of it.. $180 a piece I have found a place that can do them for.

4909 it is.. Just was wondering as because i have the 2 pot brakes whether there would be any difference in the actual rotors. The listing says 1989-1993 so I assume that includes the 2pot brakes as well.

Thanks guys..

No, nothing to do with it. If you look at the cattledog again, you'll see that the model is 909, available in "slotted", "x-drilled" and "4000".

I got some about 3 years ago, plain 909s, slotted.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
