Brake Discs - Servicing Info?

[JaseYpk]

Bonjour!

I've never had to change my brake discs, and i think the time is due.
I've been told they need changing when a lip starts to appear on the edge. this is now happening.

I've got R33 (non brembo) brakes at the moment, and just after any old disc that works. doesnt have to be anything flash. the OEM discs are good enough for me.

anyone got any recommendations, and or tips on the matter?

Hey jase. I use these guys for my brakes. I've used them for breaks on my old supra for 30k and now on my rears on the 15.

They are basically stock oem discs machined by them with grooves or drilled styles. And they are good prices too!

Skyline brembos are direct fit on 15 so discs sizes stay the same. 280mm! Same as 14 fronts.

are skyline brembo discs not wider than non brembo ones though? i mean, will they still fit in the caliper? lol

That's an interesting read. And yeah I was wrong about the sizes then! Lol.

haha i knew the widths varied from when i changed my rears over just wasn't sure which ones fitted which lol
that ebay shop does some good deals though!

Just avoid the drilled rotors, because they can crack between the holes. Slotted are the best option.

cheers meddler! i'l bear that in mind

If they have a lip that doesn't mean they are too worn by any means. You can have quite a big lip and they will still be well within limits. They normally have wear markers or a minimum thickness which you can measure with vernier calipers.

Have a look on AP Racing for different disc designs. I'd also avoid drilled though.

alright ta!
will AP not be horrendously expensive though... ?
i mean my current setup on stock r33 discs will stop me from 40mph to 0, in two car lengths. (i tried it) and thats good enough for me!

Just to be clear, The S14 front discs can fit the S15 SpecR ?

if the lip is only just starting to appear, you could just get your disks surfaced, and as long as the surfacing does not take heaps off then all good, i got my disks surfaced as while ago as they were warped and only 0.5mm was taken off
