280x30mm nissan rotor vs brembo slotted/dimpled

[badbiki]

whats the main difference, advantages and denifites from using slotted and dimpled Brembo rotors in comparison to the 280x30 nissan rotor?

rice factor or real difference noticable?

heat disipation? rotor design?

what exactly do slots do? clean the pad?

dimples? give the gas somewhere to go temporarily?

[davemw]

cross drilling is for looks, slotting allows cleaner contact with the pads

[dattoman1000]

dimples look cute.
and not being drilled all the way thru they are less likely to crack

Though I've never seen brembo dimples ones
Decnt brembos aren't drilled thru either. the holes are cast into them for strength.......on porsches and Ferarris anyway

[badbiki]

ye, i've sourced brembo slotted/dimpled rotors for $330/pair inc shipping to aus =) 280x30mm drilled for 5 stud or 4 stud..

thats all, i want to know performance difference

[PSIKO]

slots: both dispersing the built up heat and gases, as well as cleaning the brake pads

they're angled slots and are therefore rotation specific

Also, I'm pretty sure they're machined and not cast ... not sure actually

As for the dimples, they 'could' be there to allow gases to enter under heavy load, and maintain the full braking pressure, until you back off (should the slots not be good enough) ...

EBC do their discs in curved grooved with dimpled holes too.
Here's the spiel from their site.


ADVANTAGES

· "Blind" degassing holes reduce chance of stress cracks, common with "cross drilling".
· Full sweep wider scraper grooves help deglaze pads, reduce fade and promote parallel pad wear during use.
· Grooves extended to outer diameter allow exit of dust, grit etc. from the braking area (grooves that stop short only capture dust and grit and cause disc marking)
· Zinc plate and gold passive finish improves cosmetic appearance beneath alloys and prevents corrosion on areas not swept by the pad

Their part # GD695 @ $235 + gst

each or for a pair?

[dattoman1000]

each my friend
its always each with discs
axle sets for pads

[badbiki]

ahhh, can get brembo slotted/dimpled for $330/pair imported inc shipping.. mmm

[niscort]

badbiki,

can you PM me who your getting these brembos on order through as im chasing a set to suit a bmw but everyone keeps telling me "brembo ? is that a brand name or something?"

[badbiki]

Brembo, EBC, AP etc are all brand names

these are really for the z32, s14, r32, s15 brake setups.. *shrugs*

[davemw]

Greater pad bite increases brake torque.
Less surface area increases heat input.

They will pull up quicker but you need to be careful warming them up and cooling down if you push them hard.

Don't use a hard aggressive pad on them. Try a Pagid or Ferodo for best performance. Euro pads work best on Euro rotors.
Brembo are a good product.

Brembo Italy is the largest brake manufacturer in the world.

Yeah im fully aware of this...the problem is the that the "buddy" that works at beaure... and big bob j... repco and every where else has no frikin idea that brembo make these products let alone are able to supply them. Can you suggest a contact in Qld? My next option is to try and source them through BMW.

No-one locally will be able to source the rotors you speak of.
They don't import them because no-one has asked for them in quantity.
Your BMW dealer won't be able to get Nissan rotors.
You said you could source them offshore. Do it. Get 2 sets and sell a set to someone else to help offset your costs.

Good luck.

oh yeah try here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2401228545&category=33564

So i take it a BMW dealer will be my best bet then. As they are actually being used on an escort :rolleyes:

I doubt they will be anything but smooth faced.
But good luck in your quest

Brembo who...?

What vehicle does it suit and I'll check it out.

[dattoman1000]

are you still trying to find me some 375's Steve ?

hahahahha

No problem......Please send a check for $10,000 to DBA and I will tool up for them again.:p

Only ATE


Cossie's discs are a little easier to find than your 1862 BMW peddle cart.

[dattoman1000]

Do I just address the check to

Steve ?

Only $10 000 thats not much. Gee I sell probably 6 of these rotors a year.....how come you deleted the number.......

Ha freekin Ha
