Na R32 Brake Rotors Help

[Habler]

I took my R32 NA in to get some new brake pads today and after having a lot of trouble finding some brake pads the guys decided R33 brake pads would fit....

So i left them with it and came back and they told me the brake rotors were legally too small and i couldnt drive it on them. Now the problem is they dont know much about imports and cant figure out what rotors i will need nor what size is meant to be under them. Im guessing maybe ceffys or s13 would run the same rotors as non turbos but truthfully....i dont know shit. Just wondering if some one can sum it up for me or suggest what rotors/ where i can get them. I tried searching but there was too much confusion.

Thanks

hmm it seems that DBA gold series might be the go....hopefully they will be what i want. Still unsure about it

The question is Rb20de or Rb25de?

The rb20de's have small brakes, and your car would have been complied this way, and came from Nissan this way, So the place your going to doesnt sound like they know what theyre on about. A r33 rb20e have small brakes too, but this is all the car needs.

Best bet is to just get new pads and not to worry about it, obviously Nissan thought the brakes were sufficient, so obviously they are.

oh right. Thanks, but couldnt have the rotors worn down a shitload?

They told me they were 8.4 and if i remember right have to be over 9 or some shit to be legal?

I wish they had just put the pads in, the brakes were working fine but just a little squeal

My R32 uses the R33 pads... My 32 came factory with RB25DE tho so thats probably why...

ah ok, ive got rb20de

Diameter: 280mm

thickness: 26mm

24.2mm is the min legal limit

if u are going to replace pad +rotor, i will try to look for a set of good condition used R32/s14 brake, they are only around $300, u never have too much brake i guess

[Habler]

thanks...much appreciated

yeah your discs can wear down if your pads are worn down too far or if they are quite harsh.

the reason why they have a minimum thickness is because if your break discs get too thin they have a higher chance of warping or even snapping.

yeah after you replace your discs and calipers you should notice a good improvement on braking.

on my r33 rb20e i had single pot calipers. so i upgraded to gts25 brakes so i have 2 pot calipers and bigger discs.

for new discs have you been in to your local car parts shop like repco and seen what they can do for you?

Oh right, nah i havnt been into any of those stores as the place i took it too should be ringing around town for me. Apprently they are just ordering straight from DBA which is where im guessing any local store near me would get them from.

Hopefully they can pick some up from them. I thought about upgrading brakes but i dont think the ATMO needs any better braking power. The stock ones do the job for the power it puts out.
