R34 GTT front brake disc recommendations

Hi guys,

I'm looking to pick up a set of front brake discs for my R34 GT-T this weekend but I'm unsure which ones to go for.

Budget is set to around $200 for the front brakes. I have 18" wheels with stock calipers. Would prefer something slotted.

Can anyone recommend me which ones to get from a store I can pickup on Saturday? (ie: Supercheap, Autobarn or Repco).

Thanks

Increase budget & abandon desire for slots.

Is it worth getting slotted over standard? I have some Intima SR Type D pads to install on them.

Slotted discs are intended to do one thing and one thing only.  That is to wear your pads away faster so that you need to buy them more often.  It's a cunning marketing/business development exercise perpetrated by the brake manufacturers.  They are of little to no use otherwise.

[viper2002]

Fair enough. What ones would you recommend for the GTT then? Need something from a store that I can pickup.

Stock or round here there are cheaper aftermarket rotors available. In other words get on your phone and find the cheapest price and buy those. Get some good pads and change your brake fluid.

I would have said DBA.  Which for the front of an R34 is DBA42304 (plus whatever letters go on the end to describe the product line).  But it appears that they don't bother doing a non-slotted front rotor for R34s.  On which basis I would therefore reverse my instruction to not buy slotted and say buy the 4000 series slotted ones.  They are also more than double your desired budget though.

There is probably only one other readily available option that is not chingchong brand cast from cardboard, which is RDA.

My RDA rotors have been track tested

So have mine and many others. They are good bang for buck and within your price range. Go for the plain unslotted version.

Thanks guys. As already mentioned I have a set of Intima Type D pads and also have some Dot 4 Super brake fluid.

Can someone link me the product I need exactly from a website like Supercheap auto?

[niZmO_Man]

I got mine from Pep's, just call them up and tell them what car you have (maybe look up the DBA part number as well).
Also Type D is a track pad, so you're going to be thrashing them I assume?

[viper2002]

Sorry that's meant to be SR not type D. Should be fine for street and occassional track use.

One other thing, no-one will have them in stock. You'll have to order them in...

Time for overnight parts from Japan.

If you have told me earlier I could have organised DBA rotors for tomorrow. 

If you want,  I'll check stock tomorrow and if they're in, I can arrange for you to pick up directly from their silverwater warehouse (if you're in Sydney, cant tell on mobile).

Flick me an email at Johnny  (at) trak-life.com

Also T2 isn't available for Skylines, only come in T3 lol

[viper2002]

Thanks for that. I'm in Melbourne, really looking to find somewhere to pickup on Saturday

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

If all else fails, I can get them to you next week. DBA freight is $30 for a pair.

Have a set of brand new project mu rotors for cheap. Same as these

The rda warehouse is in keysborough. You can't buy from them direct but if you buy through a dealer, you should be able to go and pick up. I usually buy through online performance Hallam. They usually do decent pricing on plain rotors. You will have to pick up tomorrow though as both places are closed on weekends.
