Is the groove direction on the Grex brake upgrade rotors (6pot front, 4pot rears) the same front and rear? If so, which direction do the grooves run? I have had the brakes installed but the front grooves lay back and the rear grooves lay forwards. And this is how the brakes are stamped left and right.

Thanks.

(from memory the grex 6 pot set on the supra had l or r on the rotor or an arrow) and ours cut from out to in..... i will ring trust (and open the box of gtr ones i have in the warehouse) now maybe the pics above off the site are for demo only..... the pics in the GREDDY book face out to in... opposite from the website :P talk about confusing.

the best way to check as many brands are differrent is by looking at the internal cooling grooves in the rotor some are unidirectional some are not.

brembo sweep out to in.

OK this is the official G-O from the GREX dude at Trust;

Greddy swapped rotor designs not long ago so some kits include reverse rotation rotors and normal rotation (not side to side but differrent rotation set front to back). As i mentioned earlier all the rotors are marked L or R (some have a L or R as the last didgit in the part number on the rotor bell) The internal design designates L or R so best bet is to check the rotors and run them as marked.

ok put aside all the business of wich way the slot is facing.

you need to install them so the internal vanes are laying back. like <--------- rotor direction, vanes = /////////// so the inside of the disc sucks the air from the inside of the diisc. but you would know as your buying an alcon brake package and have some idea on brakes :thumbsup:

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
