Hey guys,

A bit off an odd request, but not sure where to start my search so any help will be appreciated.

I am attempting to run a larger caliper with a slightly small disc and am having difficulty finding a suitable disc, I am searching for something in the range of 360-370mm with a thickness between 32-34mm and with a pad surface area (annulus) of 70mm, these measurements are rough and i can consider discs within a couple MM of the requirements.

I have looked through the entire DBA catalog and only found one disc within the requirements however it is for an Audi and would require a custom hat to be made. I believe my best option is to look at what the after market companies have to offer however finding all the details i need is not always easy, If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

VE HSV are 365mm X 32mm.

I just pulled one out to look at it and the flats are 62mm ...damn...

On a side note someone was showing me the DBA's 2 piece catalog the other day and im sure you will find what you need there, then match it up to the hat and offset you need.

Looked through the whole catalog only disc that was within those requirements was an Audi RS4, so looking for alternatives at the moment but that is an option depending on cost of custom hats.

And kiwi, i am after smaller discs because the regular size will not fit under my rim, and i want best of both worlds :), I understand it will be harder to dispense heat with a smaller disc but the benefits outweigh the downsides.

I just looked in the catalog, they have the outer to suit your requirements, you just need hats made up....

Go to their website, click on products, click on 5000 series road and race and download the catalog.

DBA52804.1 is 360X32X70 pad width, its about 3/4 of the way down the PDF file.

Further down there is a 370mm one but its 68mm for the pad, you could shave the bottom of your pads by 2mm if need be.....

    • 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
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
