The DBA ones are better, but unless your doing serious racing then they are an expensive upgrade. The factory brake rotors are very good, so I'd stick to another set of them, aslong as you can get a decent 2nd-hand set, don't get new ones from Nissan, it will cost an arm and a leg.

they arent really expensive.

I just got a set of slotted front R32 dba rotors for over $120 cheaper EACH than what repco TRIES to charge for them.

www.brakedistributors.com.au if you call them ask for Trevor. Very good DBA pricing.

He will recommend you get slotted only, not cross drilled, if you drive the car hard.

I agree.

Cross-Drilled rotors are for looks and for street driving. They dissapate gas well, and look cool, but the drilling process weakens the rotor and makes them prone to cracking if you put them under stress (hard driving or track work).

Slotted rotors are the way to go if you intend on driving your car hard, or taking it to the track.

Before someone points out that Porsche uses cross drilled rotors on their supercars, yes they do. But they are cast with the holes already there, and not drilled after the rotor has been made.

Also, DBA discs are quite good value for money, and I use them with my AP Racing calipers, as I didn't think the AP Racing rotors were worth the extra money. DBA discs are excellent products for the price.

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
