My front rotors are warped and I have given myself 2 options.

Option 1

Bolt on a used brembo set from a BNR34

This is quite costly and I might have to deal with warped stock BNR34 rotors too.

Option 2

Aftermarket replacement rotors

For option 2, I have narrowed down my choices to the below:-

1) Dixcel HD

2) Dixcel HS

3) Project Mu Pure Plus 6 slit

4) Endless Straight 6

Are there any users/those in the know of the above here that can give comments/reviews?

Many thanks in advance. :)

SKY 34, considered it but not too sure if it will affect the FR and RR brake bias and also whether it will clear the rims.

BHDave, thanks for the input.

Howie, as below:-

1) Dixcel HD - around Y24000

2) Dixcel HS - around Y38000

3) Project Mu Pure Plus 6 slit - around Y20000

4) Endless Straight 6 - around Y42000

The above excludes shipping from Japan.

With option 2, you have missed local DBA and RDA rotors, both makes ones to suit and a fair bit cheaper than the jp import ones. Some of those prices above are more than I paid for the car

I just bot a set of Project Mu SCR's for my GTR. The front rotors were just under $700 delivered from Perfect Run. Shipping rotors from Japan is not cheap. Not on yet so I can't tell you much about how well they work.

A lot of people run DBA 4000's. UAS has them for a bit under $500 for a pair. I know several people who recommended them but have also run across a few who have had them crack after track use.

For starters it is risky and dangerous :( to machine the diameter of a disc down just to save a couple of dollars not to mention no warranty if they explode which i have seen happen.Has the rotor been cast for this to happen and to take the risk.

R34 GT rotors are 296mm front

R34GTT rotors are 310mm front

R34 GT-R rotors are 324mm front

DBA rotors are available for the Skyline range including the R34 GTT 310mm where as RDA do not do this particular disc.You can buy std 4000's rotors instead of there slotted if you want.

it was done by a very reputable brake buisness and they wouldn't have done it if they thought it was in any way dangerous. They did it so they carry any warranty issues, and it wasn't to save a couple of dollars it was to save a lot of money.

Each to there own but 6mm is alot to machine a rotor down by and yes i am in the industry.

If anyone wants the correct rotor DBA do the 310mm rotor in the DBA 4000 series.

    • I have copied the images in the original post from photobucket to the SAU servers to make sure they stay available.
    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
