I'm looking at getting new disks for my car, rather than seeing if I can machine the standard ones.

Just wondering what other people are running?

GSL supply RDA and DBA rotors, and looking at DBA, probably in either slotted or cross drilled.

Obviously the more you spend the better performance you're going to get, but I think with most things you get to a point where spending more money isn't worthwhile on a road car.

I've always heard that cross drilled rotors are a bad idea for street use, but DBA say this is no longer the case, and they've found the same or increased pad life with their new cross drilled XS rotors.

Like to hear other peoples experiences, although I'm pretty sure any decent slotted rotor will be fine.

I have the slotted RDA rotors and QFM pads. The car stops so much better now.

Cost around $600 from GSL

Hopefully I make it to the next SA cruise if you want a look.

DBA are also cheaper.

Prices as follows:

RDA Front Std $79 each

RDA Rear Std $67 each

RDA Front Slotted $249 for the pair

RDA Rear Slotted $219 for the pair

OR

DBA Front Std $105 each

DBA Rear Std $77 each

DBA Front Slotted $159 each

DBA Rear Slotted $135 each

DBA are also cheaper.

U meant RDA's are cheaper right?

I was too tight to get the DBA's...:pirate: especially when everything costs more just because its "brembo"

sorry you are right...

I did not spot the each at the end...

I can confirm these 350z 324mm rotors (with dogbone caliper adapter) fits the S1 without many issues

http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=882&Car_Type=300&UID=20110706225202121.45.157.163

a bit 'dodgy brothers' in the sense the dogbone is bolted on and caliper bolted onto the dogbone, but Boy do they work well.

tested at the track and stood up well to the braking pressures applied..... cut a few seconds of my previous best time as well.

with which callipers?

with which callipers?

You need R32 GTS-T calipers; The ones for 280mm x 28mm rotors. If you use R33GTS-T or R32 GTR (non Brembo) you'll need a 342mm(ish)dia rotor.

I have a set of similar brackets and I'm investigating the possibility of using a reduced O.D. 370Z rotor, but I'm not convinced the rotor will sit satisfactorily inside the caliper to allow a full wipe of the brake pad without further mods (rebalancing rotors, modifying brake pads).

anyone know how much for some r34 rotors?

310mmx30?

tossing up weather to machine mine or get new ones

Are they on the min thickness? It'll be between 29mm & 28mm at a guess. Only around $40-$60 to machine a set of rotors if you remove them.

Link; http://www.dba.com.au/product-search

DBA 42304 4000 Series Standard 310x30mm; $244.21

DBA 42304SL 4000 Series 6x6 Slotted LH 310x30mm; $300.56

DBA 42304SR 4000 Series 6x6 Slotted RH 310x30mm; $300.56

DBA 42304XS 4000 Series XS (Premium Gold painted Slotted & Cross Drilled); $350.66

I'm sure you could do better than this dealing with GSL Rallysport or someone else.

cool beans, that last ebay listing is pretty cheap

i'll get the verniers out later

also, r32 and z32 rotors and callipers are the same but the z32 ones are alloy instead of cast iron and a fair bit lighter so probably worth getting some z32 ones

I swaped in a set of 34gtt calipers and rotors a couple of weeks ago. Front and rear rotors and calipers, machined up and installed with new pads for under 5 hunge... they go straight in, just make shure to get the 34gtt hard lines for the front calipers- that way you can use the stag soft lines. I used 32 rear lines.

Great upgrade for a heavy wagon. I wouldn't bother with anything smaller as an 'upgrade'.

Super easy swap.

Yes but will needed to have mods done ,

I did one for BUBBA ,& have same type on mine but modded different to his,

So everyone knows, I got a cheap one off ebay for an R33 GTST and it fitted straight up with no mods at all required:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370447688978&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

So it might just have been the type you had chuckie.

:cheers:

uniqueautosports have locally made BMC stoppers made here in Sydney by Bosnjaks. They are also an option. I ran a group buy on them a while ago.

If there is enough interest I can probably get some better pricing on the stoppers and the brake air deflectors.

http://www.300zx.com.au/ look under braking. They fit R33, R34, Stagea S1/S2.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
