r these bigger then the stock rotors ????

and if not how do they help inrease stopping power ?

As per the DBA web site:

"Some of the secret ingredients of a DBA 4000 series disc rotor"

'Kangaroo Paw' is a patented hi-tech disc rotor ventilation system, designed and manufactured in Australia by Disc Brakes Australia. Not available on all part numbers, please check with your supplier for availability.

More info:

http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...s/paw_index.htm

TSP is a propriety process specifically developed by DBA for improving the performance of disc brake rotors.

More info:

http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...s/tsp_index.htm

Thermo-Graphic’ markings are placed on the outer edge of each DBA 4000 / 5000 series disc rotor and are used to monitor the core temperatures that are achieved during braking application. All DBA 4000 / 5000 series rotors include 'Thermo-Graphic' markings.

more info:

http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/H...Information.pdf

The directional slots allow for "deglazing" of the pad giving a better "bite" and most rotors are slightly oversize (only marginally so factory calipers still bolt on)

which acts as a better heat sink to reduce thermal stress of performance pads in sports driving.

In addition the rotors are made of a heavy duty material so perfmance pads wont quickly wear the rotor or warp them in hard driving.

Dont want Amosite to think im ripping him of buyers but just to let people know.

I recently pickup up a pair of r32 gtr dba 4000 rotors for $198 each. That was the retail price from my local Repco in sydney! I was shocked too when he told me how cheap it was.

As for prices for other rotors, i would have no idea.

Ok, I just got off the phone to a couple of repco outlets and tehy said that

4926 SL (R32 GTR 4000 Series slotted) are $268.

So they must have stuffed up on your order, or supplied you something different, lucky you! :P

But please, feel free to check prices with local distributors.

Hi,

Im interested in the R32 GTR 296mm x 32mm slotted rotors. But I want to fit these to a R33 GTS-4. Do they come pre drilled or will they drill them to suit my application? Will this be the same price?

I dobt they will fit as the GTS4 has 280x26 disc. The size increase seems on the high side.

Unless you had R32 GTR Calipers I dont think you could run a 296x 32 disc.

DBA make a direct replacement for your car, cost is about $175 each

Im planing on a brake upgrade. Ive got r32 gtr calipers and rotors here but the rotors arnt much chop.

I just dont want to have to get them re drilled to fit

I can get blanks but DBA wont do special orders.

Getting them drilled for 4x114.3 would be $50 each..

The other opotion you have is a 5 bolt hub kit

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
