Any pics? DBA have told me that the reason my DBA4000s cracked is beacuse i am running the GTSt caliper (intended for a 280mm rotor) on a 324mm rotor so the pad depth on the rotor causes thermal issues within the rotor. Result is a crack. Personally i think its their get out of jail argument...it has merit on paper but there is no way i think thats the contributer to why their rotors crack with track work Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203894-big-brake-kits-and-wheels/page/2/#findComment-3617754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result is a crack. Personally i think its their get out of jail argument...it has merit on paper but there is no way i think thats the contributer to why their rotors crack with track work Note 32 mm thick x 340 mm DBA 5000 series rotors, ie, not a Skyline rotor. The R32GTST M Spec calliper is the same as an R32GTR calliper, except the GTR legs are 8 mm longer ie; the pads are the same. So a more valid comparison is 296 mm versus 324 mm in your case. That's 14 mm radius, hardly a big deal as long as you stick to appropriate heat up and cool down procedures. Track days can be a bitch for that, the inexperienced people just don't understand why I complain when they try and make me sit there stationery on pit entry. For additional capacity, the 5000 series are the go and 32 mm is available in 324 mm.

I used this setup for years and never a worry. From some time 2002 to 2006, the rotors i took off where still not undersized, but thought i would change them to new DBA 4000 just to make sure that i didnt have any problems. The new DBA 4000 are RUBBISH compared to what i purchased in 2002. So certainly encourage ppl to go to 5000 as they dont seem to have the same problems...lol they also dont have the same slot design Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/203894-big-brake-kits-and-wheels/page/2/#findComment-3619921 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneykid Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I take it you are running a machine down 343mm rotor (HSV?) What hat do you use on the 5000 rotor ? Got it in one on the rotors, I am trying something new this year in hats, I'll post it up once I have tested it out sufficiently. I used this setup for years and never a worry. From some time 2002 to 2006, the rotors i took off where still not undersized, but thought i would change them to new DBA 4000 just to make sure that i didnt have any problems. The new DBA 4000 are RUBBISH compared to what i purchased in 2002. That's not unusual, old rotors have all the stresses heat cycled out of them. For the 1993 and 1994 12 Hour races we drove around the streets for a few weeks, cycling the rotors for that same reason. We had not one sign of the rotor cracking problems we had in 1992. Same rotor manufacturer, same pads. So certainly encourage ppl to go to 5000 as they dont seem to have the same problems...lol they also dont have the same slot design I agree, for decent track work, the 5000 series are the go.
