Ok so I'm looking at replacing my front discs sometime, and managed to find a contact who can supply Znoelli Discs for dirt cheap (compared to other options and OEM)

So here are the options he can get:


S6 Sports Disc Rotors - These are directionally slotted (grooved) to provide benefits such as reduced brake fade through pad de-gassing, increased wet performance through the dissipation of water, mud & dirt, improved pedal feel through increased pad bite, improved rotor life through pad deglazing and of course they look more purposeful behind alloy wheels.
Part Number = ZR42.032.02


DDS Sports Disc Rotors - These utilise a curved wide slot to provide all the advantages outlined above. The wide slot draws cool air across the face of the pad allowing cooler running and the dimple drilled areas further break down gases. They also provide a great look but without the risk of rotor cracking that can sometimes be associated with cross drilled discs.
Part Number = ZR42.032.DDS


S12 Sports Disc Rotors - These brake discs are designed with the track day enthusiast in mind. Utilising 12 curved slots and TTP technology, S12's offer excellent performance with good pad bite and provide you with the ability to monitor your disc temperatures.
Part Number = ZR42.032.S12

Prices:
S6 - $320 per pair (including gst)
DDS - $360 per pair (including gst)
S12 - $360 per pair (including gst)

Retail price for the S6 is $431.07 +gst ($485.95 per pair!!!)
(Look HERE if you dont belive me, same part number as our cars and look at that price!!!)

Total Bargin at this price

Will place order when I have 5 sets total (of any type).
They will take about 1 week to reach me once the order has been placed.
Pickups from my work or house, or can ship them around the country, shipping prices might vary though, will need to check when I get the discs in my hands

Only fronts are available for now!

Im up for a set depending on total postage cost at time the money is needed (waiting on next paycheck), what am i looking at postage-wise to sydney?

I've asked for a total weight, so once I hear back I can quote shipping better.

Aus members can pay via Paypal too!

i reckn it's gonna be a killer weight to send from nz to aus.

i just send items to nz and it costed over AU 20 bucks for 1.25kg.

this is like sending a dumb bell set.... lol

if only this group buy was at the end of last year when i changed mine! =(

DDS :D

Is that a confirmed set?

If so let me know and I shall email you payment details.

Yeah would be bloody expensive I think, but at this price, might even still work out cheaper!

Hey nick, yea thats confirmed...

I should be able to transfer this week but otherwise next wednesday the latest.

Thanks,
Henry

No worries, let me know if you no longer have my payment details, and as usual, just let me know when you have made payment.

Wow god damn those S12's look awesome would be functional, i love the colour and trust me guys going this option would be much better than getting your discs machined which if you are lucky is atleast 80 a disc. So really you are getting a set of discs for relatively 100 bucks, a must do if you are going to new pads (especially sintered ones i think?.

Ps i'd get a pair if i wasn't selling my lex.

Ditto!
Great deal on these discs team!!!

Got 2 sets down, 3 more lucky buyers and then I can make the order

OK just following an online postage rate finder to Australia, for the following dimensions (for 2 discs)
350x150x350 - 10KG (I think that should be safe for a pair of discs)
Shipping prices are as follows to Australia:

So using the Internal Air Post ($61) its still probably going to be cheaper then discs you can get there in Aus!!!
Thats under $425 for the DDS or S12 discs for a pair!!!

Now any more takers?

And that is 425 NZD right Nick so about 350 AUD according to xe.com ...that is a neat deal including postage !!

So why are the DDS not associated with rotor cracking since it is cross drilled:

"They also provide a great look but without the risk of rotor cracking that can sometimes be associated with cross drilled discs. "

So are they made in NZ - are they popular there just like DBA's are to Oz?

Will read a bit more and get back to you Nick but am keen :)

Yup all NZD, good bargin here guys I'm keen to get mine ASAP :D

They are actually dimple drilled, the holes dont go right through!

http://www.znoelli.co.nz/Links.htm
They associate themselves with a few good people.

Made to order right here in NZ, only made when they are ordered.

They are quiet well known to some of the circuit drivers here in NZ, talked to a few track day enthusiests and they all seemed to use it (especially one with a 600+kw R32 GTR!)

Damn good price!

I love the look of the 'track' S12 discs would they be really noisy on the street?

Yeah I'm now thinking about perhaps getting the S12s maybe instead, but the DDS just look so naturally good!

Went for a blat in the GTR around the dairy flats back roads a few weeks back, that had no braking noise whatsoever!
He had the S12s on the GTR, however he had to get custom Znoelli discs made up as he was running Evo 7 Brembos, and even still they fitted perfect.

Someone in Aus could probably get a few and sell it off on Ebay or something and make some $$$.

Hey nick, - transferred today and should be in your account.

- What difference is there in the DDS and the S12 when using it mainly for everyday driving? would be interesting to see considering they are going for the same price. The DDS does look nicer but thats just my opinion...

thanks
Henry

Can you contact the Supplier Nick and ask this Question I wouldn't mind knowing the answer also!

The aggressive slots may give you more bite and be harder on the pads and transmit more noise that's all I can think of.

What production standards are these rotors produce to? eg AS/NZ TUV etc?

Ok got off the phone, for road use, both are fine.

The S12 is more for track orientated cars as it has the TTP technology that indicates the disc temps etc, which are crutial for bedding in the discs for track cars.

The S12 will however "HUM" slightly more when braking really hard consistantly.

Performance wise the S12 is probably able to withstand more abuse, but the DDS are also not far off. The prices are the same because more labour is involved in producing the DDS Dimples on the discs

They are made to ISO and NZ standards, but ISO is international so will be ok for AU aswell.

They have lifetime warranty againsts manufacturing faults etc.
Never had a cracked or warped rotor on a normal road car yet!
(as with all disc manufacturers, warranty does not apply to cars used on the track, however many cars use them on the track with no problems)

Sweet put me down for a DDS thanks Nick :D

Done got you down.

Another 2 more and I can get this order underway everyone!

Ok only one more left!

Cashfree got your $360 cheers

ridin_dirty got your $360 now too!

So as fate has it, the first 3 pairs of discs have arrived today!

Will post pics of the discs too :D

Ok here is the exact shipping costs to Australia.

Options:
Economy Internation Air - $68.51 (10-15 days approx)
Standard International Air - $80.60 (3-6 days approx)
Internation Courier - $119.50 (2-3 days approx)

Pic of actual discs:


Cant wait to get them on this weekend :D

Cashfree - sent you email regarding discs
ridin_dirty - see you Saturday :)

Looking good :)

I'm in no hurry Nick so you can send it through Economy International Air and hopefully that should cover it ;)

Cheers mate

No problems Saahil, your discs should arrive mid week to me hopefully.

Wheels on:

Ok just for those who are thinking of getting these, just found out if you still want these, they are $400 to us per pair for single orders.
Thats still cheaper then retail by a bit but not as cheap as a GB price.

Shipping to Aus is roughly $70.

TNT200 - will let you know when the discs are ready and will do my best to get them sent the same day.

Thanks heap Nick

Is this still on?

Gone and dusted.

Can still get them though, but not at the GB price.

Last time I did it for Tony (TNT200) it was $400 for a one off order.

Shipping would also be about another $45 LOL

Do these fit on the AS200? and do you still use the std callipers and pads?

Depends if you have the single piston brakes or the twin pistons (Some AS have the twins, some have the single)

Take a picture of your caliper and send it to me at
nick@nst.co.nz
And I can tell you from there

Here is the disc rotor on the wheel. Thanks for your help Nick, look nice good product.

Looks good bud!

I got a set of these a couple of years ago and they've been great. My only recommendations are:

- Paint every part of them that doesn't come into contact with the pads with high temp black or silver paint - they rust up terribly every time it rains and look like crap if you don't. The rust even stands out in the dimples.

- They can make a purring sound as the aggressive cuts pass the pads, best solution, chamfer the pads and really angle the edge back.

- Enjoy, I have had a lot of people comment on them, they really do look good!

Any one else keen on a GB??

Good chance to get them at $360 (DDS and S12) if there are a total of atleast 3 orders!

Best bang for buck mod for my car yet!
(and looks cool too!)

Hmm I am tempted but if what Icarus said about the rusting is true that might just put me off. Nick, can you elaborate how it is the best bang for buck mod for you?
