Hello guys,

For some reason, here in Canada, we can't get the new T3 slot rotor but you guys do. I'm wondering if it's worth the times to just wait for the new design or it's just a gimmick !?

Please give me your input . I'm really not a brake guru and don't know much about rotors.

I understand but what's so different with the new T3 beside the design of the slot? the material hasnt changed?

Nothing. Material is exactly the same. The old design doesn't crack provided it's had sufficient heat cycles put through it, which is exactly the same with the new T3 design, and indeed most rotors that you intend on using on the track.

They've changed the design to reduce stock level requirements and prevent people being sent the wrong part (left and right are the same) and just freshen the product up...

My traditional 4000's cracked after a dozen or so track days. We had two GTR's crack 4000's on the same PI weekend mid way through the season.

All cracked in exactly the same pot, the small slot on the outside of the disk.

Exactly the same process for 5000's and now ksport...no cracking...

So... if I might ask, without getting the traditionnal '' search Mate!'' , what do you guys use for brembo caliper beside EXPENSIVE 2pieces rotors?

I keep searching brembo r33 rotor and I can't find many of them.. Powerslot,DBA, Project-Mu,oem, Ksport, Japspeed ?

    • Aren't these run off of high voltage in OEM applications? Like 200+V. Or at least 48V in mild hybrids. At ~18,000 BTU ballpark nominal capacity the power draw is at what, 2.2 kW? ~185A is a pretty crazy amount of amps. At 200V it's only 11A. The 70A nominal kits with up to 100A peak draw I see for stuff like classic Porsches have pretty substantial compromises like shutting off at idle and not actually managing to keep the interior cool in hot conditions because they can only output like 6000 BTU. IMO if I had to pick what high amp draw component to retrofit to these cars I would start with the engine fan, not the AC compressor. You need an ~850-1000W brushless fan, something like this: I would love to see the data but I would bet that whatever you save by running the AC compressor in a more efficient regime with an electric motor you're probably losing to conversion losses anyways. It's not really like a clutch fan where you're losing power all the time even when it's nominally disengaged and it gets worse as it engages because the envelope tracking isn't that precise.

    • agreed, the price vs gains it鈥檚 there.   unless you go china supercharger. Temu racing anyone?馃槀https://www.facebook.com/share/15nkfpsg7Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr that was one of the ones that popped up on my feed 馃槀
    • Bit of a long shot but if anyone has 4 of these laying around in new or near new condition. I will happily buy them off you.     https://skylinespares.com.au/product/stabilizer-door-glass-inner-new-8032404u03/?srsltid=AfmBOop6L5EgUFaHPHiVXoAhv5k8aJYwc77nGmoApp-hY03OiOsNVaOv Thanks 
    • I'm wondering is the Toyota and Mazda "collaboration" could see that new Toyota ???G20 ??? turbo engine that they have been showing off recently into a future MX5, apparently it's good for 400hp out of the box That could easily, possibly, be much better than the last collaboration between Toyota and Subaru with the boxer engine in the twins
