Friend of mine has just returned from a secondment in Geneva, he had these tyres fitted to his Datsun....sorry Nissan 370GT, this was rear wheel drive only and evidently using these tyres was like driving in the summer even when on deep snow. The last pic shows the 370 3000 metres at courcheval aiti...

So we've got all sorts of proposals for preventing vibration from turning the rear brakes off through to skimming a floating rotor..... A lathe will cut square to X/Y if it IS possible to skim the discs then its probably due to the fact that the mechanism on the rotors - thats to say the bobbins and...

There is a bit of lack of understanding here.... Doesnt matter whether you've skimmed them intact once/twice/three times. Fact is min thickness is 32.4 (says so on the side of the disc), another fact is your trying to machine square something that is moving! Semi Floating Discs dont exist its like b...

What I differed on was that you implied having to further take the rotor off the hat to skim with the disc was off the car which isn't the case. I've had fronts skimmed off the car with the rotor hat in place on 3 separate occassons with zero issues. Whether the disc is on the car or off the car th...

I still beg to differ. Quite how you can machine something that is designed to move 3/10ths of a mm and expect it to be straight is beyond me. Strip it down, do it properly, rebuild it using cleaned components and they'll be ok. If you skim them in situ, the first time you get them hot the datum cha...

You can't skim a floating disc unless you disassemble it completely and then mount the rotor to a mandrel in a lathe big enough to take a 365mm rotor, some lathes can handle the diameter but don't have the geometry to handle the back face. Be very suspicious about any Rs4 disc that has been skimmed ...

As the title, cash paid for those rotors you use to keep the side garage door open with, must be pairs and complete.

Not really looking for anything serviceable

Be interested to know what you have

Thanks in advance

Bump....still need these discs, the worse the condition the better were the ones i sent u ok? Yes thanks, they were a little skinny for development work once skimmed, but the bells came in handy for measuring purposes. Still need more dics, ideally fairly newish discs that are warped/wobbling we're...
