R34 GTR UK disks - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi
Just bought a UK R34 GTR and noticed the front disks are quite badly worn. Anyone know a rough price on a set and where's the best place to buy. While I am at it, is it worth upgrading.

Any advice for a novice welcome.

Dont know how much they are in the UK, but living here in Suzuka Japan I'm about 20 Min. from both the Esprit and Top Fuel shops. One piece disks(slotted or drilled) generally run about 40,000Yen/ set (180 pounds?). I'd personally go for 2 piece with the aluminum hats which run 70,000/set or so. I can send them over for you if its much cheaper over here. Ive sent tons of parts abroad before and can supply references if you like. Biot makes a nice kit which re-locates the caliper and uses a 345mm 2piece slotted disk for about 140,000Yen(600 pounds?)Here are some sites to check out:

ive got a 200sx s14a with gtr r32 discs and calipers and am wondering if there is an upgrade for pushing the calipers out and fitting larger discs?
im on 18" wheels so need to 'fill um up'

I've got an S14a with the R34 GTR brakes on...they go on with a bit of f'ing and blinding...got my replacement discs from Rising Sun Performance and a steal at £250
