Should be able to get them a few dollars cheaper than that but that;s what I use. Forget about cross drilled.

There is a thread here somewhere about RDA rotors which are cheaper and appear to work just as well as the DBA ones but I haven't tried them myself.

abo bob.... y do you say forget about the cross drilled ???

They are prone to cracking.

For the street slotted are more than enough anyway.

Personally Id got slotted fronts, with RB74 pads, and a good brake fluid. Go the rears as well if and or when they need doing, dont get RB74 pads on the back tho, apparently they are too much for the rear.

Comp2 pads on the rear. And yes, cracking.

How much do you want to spend on the upgrade?

btw Racebrakes do the pads we are talking about. Bendix Ultimates are pretty good too and there is a forum sponsor (Kudos motorsport) selling them cheaply at the moment. Ultimates are quite dusty and sometimes squeally though. Don't know how dusty RB74's are but they are known to sometimes be a bit squeally too.

I've been using my DBA drilled and slotted fronts for about 2 years now. They have done 3 track days and proberly 30,000 street kays. No cracking on mine and I've used Bendix Ultimas, EBC's and RB74'2. I think the fact that I warm them up before murdering them helps.

Porsche rotors are cast with the holes in them... so minimising disturbance in metal grains and preventing stress concentrations in the metal which lead to cracking.

Quick question are R32GTR rotors drilled from factory...? The previous owner put new 'factory' brakes on and he said that they were drilled from factory

Comp2 pads on the rear.  And yes, cracking.

RB74s are shocking with dust. I have amost black wheels, and after a day, if you touch the wheels you can see hand prints. But hey, they work.

All the Nissan Aust imports and for that matter the Private Scuderia Veloce ones all had drilled discs but not slotted. The ones that were used for heavy track use suffered from cracking but maybe that was just the fact that it was almost un-heard of back then and things have improved since then.

Most high quality performance cars now use them as standard. E46 M3's use them and BMW will be offering them as an up-grade in the not to distant future.

As I said,,,warm them up properly and you shouldn't have a problem.

I gotta tell you though 007,,, Abo Bob's front & rear slotteds look fat.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
