z20 soarer brake upgrade qn (fitting jza80 disks)

[Looonie]

Yeah, I understand that 350Z track edition (or R32 GTR V-Spec) rotors are the "solution".

I'm just more wondering why nightpager do a kit for a rotor that doesn't fit. It seems a bit stupid, and yet the group buy had over 10 of these kits replicated/purchased, but as far as I can see only Guilty (and now one other person) had any problem fitting them...

no problems with dba 5000 rotors here - their design is substandially diff to the pics above so perhaps will work with any hub

Whats the price difference on the 5000 vs 4000 series?

I did initially sort of wonder if Guilty had gone some cheap aftermarket replacement rotor that was a different design... but the internal diameter of the rotor hat would have to be the same regardless of manufacturer of the rotor.

Oh well, my nightpager kit is probably going to be sold now anyway as it looks like I'll be running TRD 4 pot monoblock calipers with customer adapter and 324mm R32 GTR V-Spec rotors, hopefully in DBA4000 variety...

Big_Rob: From prices I obtained yesterday, $300+gst (NZD) for the DBA4000 and $570+gst (NZD) for the DBA5000, same price for 350Z track edition, R32 V-Spec and JZA80...

a shit load

[EldarO]

woooo i got the 5000 seriessssss

thumbs up for me!

thanks for pics detailing the issue anyway.

[Disturbed1]

u got a bargain and a half for them

wishign i had coin to buy myself - about 1300 bux worth u got for 400!!!

[Big rob]

I'm confused.

Loonie: Thats per disk correct?

Disturbed: $1300 for front pair or for a set, I am guessing just the front.

[EldarO]

yeah, fronts only.

and yeah, they're brand spankin.

[Disturbed1]

yeah just the front - cant get 5000 series rears cause we got internal drum brakes

[Big rob]

Ahh fair point about the rears.

Fuck thats alot of money, ever priced a replacement 5000 rotor i.e. no hat?

So EldarO, which little old lady are you sleeping with to get %70 off?

[Looonie]

Yup, price each.

I asked the guy what replacement rotors for the DBA5000 series were, but I can't for the life of me remember now... I think it was about $270+GST or something...

mates rates through me

mate was initially going to go this night pager path but decided to buy a grex kit.

so no need for these 5000 rotors.

pretty sure u will find rinds alone are still in the 500 region. not much savign its pretty disappointing really

[Esselte]

My mechanic thought it was weird the kit didn't fit too (or that I was just clueless or it was a bad copy of the nightpager kit), I remember checking the forums months ago to find out if anyone else had the same issue, but couldn't find anyone who reported it. Also couldn't find any reporting of the overhang of pad over rotor.

How much is a MA70 grex kit, around 5-6k?

[Disturbed1]

used to be 2800
