Just replaced mine (32 gts-t)

DBA slotted were quoted around $200 a disc... I was thinking this was going to be costly exercise but needed it done as my rotors were warped from when the car was imported.

I ended up with ventilated Brembo's for $65 each! (new). I replaced the front rotors only and put new brake pads on. Works a treat.

thanks guys, this is what i was after, i bought a set of DBA slotted rotors for the hr30 about 18 months ago and they were 340 each, the first set they had made for a r30 skyline, i've now upgraded the fronts to r32 gts-t's 4 pots and rotors and was hoping that new rotors would be alot cheaper.

DBA will make a set of r32 rotors in the 4x114.3 for a bit more $$ wont they?

Is it hard to replace front rotors, and is there instructions online?

Thanks

I put DBA rotors on the front and some protec cheapy's on the rear as I was unable to soruce DBA rear rotors for the R32 anywhere in Adelaide. :)

From memory the front DBA rotors varied in price massively.

Cheapest place to buy DBA rotors from In Adelaide are Motor Mates.

Where did you source yours from Pablo?

ended up getting quotes, from autobarn for DBAs and glodal auto spares for RDA,

the fronts with DBA were 325 slotted and with RDA it was 283 for the slotted, the biggest difference was the rears for my hr30 were 269 for the DBAs' and 135 for the RDAs' both slotted

It seams the smaller houses will get these parts cheaper as they want you to ome back and use their services, so shop around. Perth Brakes Australia is one of the bigest suspension and brake places in WA and they wanted $2656 for each rotor. HA? So go see if there are garages that tune and race their cars as they will be more connected with manufacturers and sponsors at the same time.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
