Powerbrake, and I hope by "Skim" you mean "I are gonna thow them away and get new ones"

You drive a performance car, dont go playing with your life!

Apparently almera discs can be used, but they need to be machined thinner (LOLz an almera 1.6 has bigger brakes than a stock S13 tehe)

Recently bought new discs from nissan for the front. Cost me a small fortune. And now they vibrate quite badly!!

Thought a skim can't hurt as they are still very thick.

Rear is very thin on the other hand but also not in good nick.

Else who makes those big brake discs with the ali centres? Like the ones on that red sx with the gold rims?

And off course a bracket to relocate the std caliper a bit further out.

Got the front skimmed (since they are practically brand new!!) and it cost me R40each from Astro Brake in Boksburg.

Didn't wanna spend R2500 on new discs + pads since I suspect a big brake upgrade is on the shopping list in the not too distant future.
