"sounds a bit dodge but, wat do u mean by longer bolts ?? longer studs ??correct me if im wrong, but would that affect the track ??"

Go do the research yourself, why ask for advice if you think what you get is dodgy.

For my money you can fark orf.

mate u werent even sure about it. simple question only needed a simple answer. not some smart ass on his high horse.

I have the DBA rear Z31 slotted rotors in my garage. I also have a couple of sets of genuine DR30 rear rototrs.

If you look up the DBA web site and look at the catalogue, you will find the following:

300ZX All Z31 Models 1/84 - 9/85 F 608 3 V ented 274 35.5 22 20 81 4

R 605 3 Solid 290 47 10 9 68 4

R30 GTS FJ20DET 1982 - 85 F 608 3 V ented 274 35.5 22 20 81 4

R 600 3 Solid 258 47 10 9 68 4

IF your intelligent enough, you can see that DBA say the hat heights are both 47mm and therefore identical, but genuine Nissan OEM DR30 rear rotors have a hat height, physically of 52mm, making a difference of 5mm and therefore needs a spacer to move the position on the floating part of the rear caliper. Depending on the casting the spacer might be 5mm or maybe 6mm so that the caliper centres over the rotor correctly. To do this, you might also need caliper mounting bolts about 5mm longer as I don't think the standard bolts will have enough bite to hold the caliper.

There was NEVER any mention of longer studs, or offsets, or anything else your adolescent mind wanted to come up with.

Most people on this forum, at least in this CLASSICS SECTION have some mechanical ability and don't need to be quoted chapter and verse to get the job done RIGHT! the first time.

I am sure! and was when I answered but expected you to show some intelligence which obviously was my first mistake. My second was thinking you care, which you obviously don't from what you display in your other thread.

I have been doing this sort of thing a long time and unlike you, I research what I do before I do it and I have an L Series because my R30 is one of only 3 or 4 in OZ and 1 of just 2000 made by Nissan, making it the rarest of all R30 Skylines, but how could I ever think you could understand that.

When I started out, we were putting 289ci Ford V8's in 105E Anglia's and MGB motors in Morris Minors & Austin A30's, at one time we put the 2.5L Buick V8 (now the Rover V8) in a Morris Minor & 327ci Corvette V8 motor into a Rover 105, so go tell someone else to suck eggs, because I have done my time.

Have a nice day!

    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol. 
    • Sydney Tools have them for ~$3400. More than the Quick Lifts but these seem better. https://sydneytools.com.au/product/quickjack-7000tl208240v-5175642-7000lb-110220v-portable-light-duty-truck-and-passenger-car-lift-system
