Perth brake parts carry em as i recall, DBA i think, why not upgrade to slotted. Give em a call on 94519455.

MSTRYODA had them before its demise. I hear they are a pretty good rotor and cheap too. Get Racebrakes RB26... i think thats teh number, Pads to go with em for a good combo.

Hmm they seem to have gone up a little since i last checked, which was a couple of years ago.

Ahh well if u want something cheaper im sure they could do that too.

oh and the guy ud wanna speak to is Steve Baxter.

Sounds like a typo look how close that d is to that r.

Remember though, the thiner they get the more brake fade ure gonna get, and im sure weve all come across that after 2-3 hard brakes. Id prefer it was 4-5

Cam,

How worn are they,can they be machined? Are they under 29mm?

thanks

They are worn. I think they can be machined, though there was no problems with them while I was using them so they probably wouldn't need it. I'll give them a measure and let you know.

I bought some standard (not slotted) dba discs for around 110 each.

Slotted are great if you are going to push the car hard. Unless you already have upgraded pads and are starting to get fade, it probably wont be any advantage at all though.

Good pads make a huge difference to the stopping power.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
