DBA 4963. i think thats what i got for my fronts on my s2, and the offset is wrong and slightly smaller than standard

[DaveB]

Yeah anything R33 GTST won't fit the stock caliper/hub combination; they will machine down to the same circumference (remove 3mm off the radius, a reduction in diameter of 6mm) however offset is wrong. Too shallow; binds on the inside pretty badly. Same would go for all stock size R33 GTST front rotors which are the same type/size, I would assume, regardless of manufacturer/part number.

so r33 gtst style rotors won't fit a series 2 then?????? shouldn't these be the same offset tho?

what the hell do we use then>??????? 33 gtr rotors?

WELL GEN NISSAN if you have money to ,other wise wait till someone find`s a setup may be may be look & see what you can find like most of us have been doing for 2 year`s ,it`s hard work & when you do if something like brake pad`s it`s like WHY BOTHER ,cheer`s chuckie.

[BKC34]

yeh but i was more thinkin slotted rotors.....not replacement ones... i wanna upgrade... surely someone out there has upgraded their series 2 with slotted rotors!?!?!

[DaveB]

Yep, exactly my thoughts, and it sucks but I don't think there are any, except for places direct from Japland like Dixcel etc. If you replace calipers too, and solve the bolt problem then R33 GTST rotors can be used (do *not* machine down diameter) or you can *probably* use R34 calipers and rotors... but wait for the verdict on those from someone who has done it first or see if you can borrow a set and test fit.

[BKC34]

wouldn't the best solution then be to probably get some r33gtr calipers and get some slotted's to suit?

[DaveB]

The ultimate solution, yes. Unless R34GTR ones are bigger or are a direct fit?

Of course if you change calipers too, you don't have to go GTR - even GTST ones are 4-potters apparently.

[DaveB]

Yep, go figure

I think there might be something special about the GTR callipers... although this might just be that they're painted gold I'm unsure Think the pistons might be larger with a bigger pad.

[BKC34]

ah i see, so gtst 33 calipers are essentially gtr calipers aswell, both of which are lighter cars then th stags, yet we get 2 pot calipers?

[BKC34]

gold you say hrmmm ..... lol sounds good plus then i can call it more of a gtr then lol pfffft who cares about .1 of a Litre and one extra turbo anyways......

Ok done a bit more digging and found these guys

http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/par...tegoriesbrakes/

They are agents for dixcel rotors they have series 2 fronts in stock non slotted for $295pr and he told me they can get slotted by order for around $400pr

Part #'s are

Front #321 2013

Rear #325 2016

Ive included the part #pdf for anyone who is interested

f**ken OUCH

i use s14 RDA slotted fronts from the group buy on my 8/97 S1, but due for rears if anyone knows what fits?

[BKC34]

for 400 a pr i think i would rather source some 33gtr calipers and sit them on some slotted rotors... idunno wat do you's reckon?

Good find! An Aussie Dixcel distributor

Although I would want at least slotted rotors, but at $400 even the *retail* price of a group buy on slotted rotors on these forums for R34 GT-T is nearly $50 less than that... personally I would upgrade but the Dixcels are still an option for those wanting to save the extra few hundred to buy calipers and get brakes fitted & bled (and probably to get the calipers rebuilt).

I notice the site you posted has a set of R34 front brakes (calipers and discs) for $600. So hopefully it is possible to pick up a set of calipers only for say $300 and get them rebuilt for ...??$ Then get some slotted (or slotted, grooved & dimpled) R34 GT-T RDA rotors through these forums, a set of R34 braided hoses through another group buy on these forums and you're all set. I would guess that with pads though it's around an $800 exercise if you fit it all yourself... with a workshop for fitting maybe $1,000 all up? Getting expensive. And that's just fronts... rears add another $600-700 for the same exercise? *guestimates*

R32 GTR and R33 GTSt are the same calipers front and rear, i.e 4-spot front and 2-spot rears manufactured by Sumitomo.

Yup - nothing sold here in Aus...

I posted the part number earlier in this thread (43206-4P000).

The only car that comes close in an R34GT, but I don't think you'll find any of those around.

[chuckie]

Well Hope that we can have some new`s to day As iam going to BRAKEBOND`S to see if they CAN MATCH GEN NISSAN rotor & see what they can do with price on Front pad`s will try to get better deal ???,
