Stagea Brakes

[jidge]

I'm looking at getting new disks for my car, rather than seeing if I can machine the standard ones.

Just wondering what other people are running?

GSL supply RDA and DBA rotors, and looking at DBA, probably in either slotted or cross drilled.

Obviously the more you spend the better performance you're going to get, but I think with most things you get to a point where spending more money isn't worthwhile on a road car.

I've always heard that cross drilled rotors are a bad idea for street use, but DBA say this is no longer the case, and they've found the same or increased pad life with their new cross drilled XS rotors.

Like to hear other peoples experiences, although I'm pretty sure any decent slotted rotor will be fine.

I have the slotted RDA rotors and QFM pads. The car stops so much better now.

Cost around $600 from GSL

Hopefully I make it to the next SA cruise if you want a look.

[bigkevracer]

Might do that, thanks.

GSL talked me into the DBA instead, as they look better over time.

More interested in performance and wear.

[FHF]

DBA are also cheaper.

Prices as follows:

RDA Front Std $79 each

RDA Rear Std $67 each

RDA Front Slotted $249 for the pair

RDA Rear Slotted $219 for the pair

OR

DBA Front Std $105 each

DBA Rear Std $77 each

DBA Front Slotted $159 each

DBA Rear Slotted $135 each

U meant RDA's are cheaper right?

I was too tight to get the DBA's... especially when everything costs more just because its "brembo"

[scotty nm35]

Brembo original disks FTW! Hard as Fk!

($400 each)

[FHF]

sorry you are right...

I did not spot the each at the end...

Maybe I'll just get the pretty ones then...

Doesn't sound like anyone thinks there's a difference between any slotted or cross drilled disks.

I can confirm these 350z 324mm rotors (with dogbone caliper adapter) fits the S1 without many issues

http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=882&Car_Type=300&UID=20110706225202121.45.157.163

a bit 'dodgy brothers' in the sense the dogbone is bolted on and caliper bolted onto the dogbone, but Boy do they work well.

tested at the track and stood up well to the braking pressures applied..... cut a few seconds of my previous best time as well.

Yeah I thought so, I was tight too!

[pipster11]

anyone know how much for some r34 rotors?

310mmx30?

tossing up weather to machine mine or get new ones

[Daleo]

with which callipers?

You need R32 GTS-T calipers; The ones for 280mm x 28mm rotors. If you use R33GTS-T or R32 GTR (non Brembo) you'll need a 342mm(ish)dia rotor.

I have a set of similar brackets and I'm investigating the possibility of using a reduced O.D. 370Z rotor, but I'm not convinced the rotor will sit satisfactorily inside the caliper to allow a full wipe of the brake pad without further mods (rebalancing rotors, modifying brake pads).

Are they on the min thickness? It'll be between 29mm & 28mm at a guess. Only around $40-$60 to machine a set of rotors if you remove them.

DBA 42304 4000 Series Standard 310x30mm; $244.21

DBA 42304SL 4000 Series 6x6 Slotted LH 310x30mm; $300.56

DBA 42304SR 4000 Series 6x6 Slotted RH 310x30mm; $300.56

DBA 42304XS 4000 Series XS (Premium Gold painted Slotted & Cross Drilled); $350.66

I'm sure you could do better than this dealing with GSL Rallysport or someone else.

cool beans, that last ebay listing is pretty cheap

i'll get the verniers out later

also, r32 and z32 rotors and callipers are the same but the z32 ones are alloy instead of cast iron and a fair bit lighter so probably worth getting some z32 ones

I swaped in a set of 34gtt calipers and rotors a couple of weeks ago. Front and rear rotors and calipers, machined up and installed with new pads for under 5 hunge... they go straight in, just make shure to get the 34gtt hard lines for the front calipers- that way you can use the stag soft lines. I used 32 rear lines.

Great upgrade for a heavy wagon. I wouldn't bother with anything smaller as an 'upgrade'.

Super easy swap.

Yes but will needed to have mods done ,

I did one for BUBBA ,& have same type on mine but modded different to his,

So everyone knows, I got a cheap one off ebay for an R33 GTST and it fitted straight up with no mods at all required:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370447688978&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:AU:1123

So it might just have been the type you had chuckie.

Yes ,

i have a TOMEI,

[wolverine]

uniqueautosports have locally made BMC stoppers made here in Sydney by Bosnjaks. They are also an option. I ran a group buy on them a while ago.

If there is enough interest I can probably get some better pricing on the stoppers and the brake air deflectors.

http://www.300zx.com.au/ look under braking. They fit R33, R34, Stagea S1/S2.

[dirtyRS4]

i recommend cusco.
