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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
