Does anybody know where I could get some (rear) brake rotors made up to suit my application?

It won't be an item out of a catalogue, but something made to suit.

Preferably in Victoria.

just as another idea it might be advantagious to adapt a braking system of another car, say a commodore or a falcon as there cheep as chips

It does depend on pricing, but I need to know who can do it, and what price in order to determine if I should proceed.

Judging by the amount of bull**** Wookiee (or whoever it was who organised the Ralliart rear rotor group buy) went through to even convince DBA to make up a batch of Ralliart spec rear rotors, I think you've got sweet **** all chance of having rears made for you champ.

for the price of a company to machine you custom brake rotors you can buy a 2nd gen.

Hai how much would it be to get 22"s put on the rear of my car?

Gav's car literally has the ass end fall to bits.
gav instead of rocking up to meets on public transport cause your car is always falling to pieces spend the extra $1000 from the start and buy a working good car.

this sounds like my mate whos now up to his 3rd VN Engine this year. with all the money he blew on crap VN's making one good one he could of just got a calais.

serioulsy custom brake rotors, you've been hooked with the idea of having this 1st gen with awesome brakes for ages. just put on some slotteds and good pads and be done with it!!

Preferably in Victoria.

Hoppers Stoppers are in Victoria and have a reputation for putting together "custom brake packages". However, when I say "custom" - it usually means finding components from different manufacturers that fit together to suit the specific project. Never heard of anyone (outside of top level professional motorsport) having a one off set of brake calipers manufactured for a specific project.

That's the application. Slotted rears for a first gen just don't exist.

Thank you. A sensible answer. I'm only after rotors, will use existing calipers.

alright, heres what you do gav

pull your current rotors out, get an angle grinder to do the slots, as for cross drilling.. well thats a no brainer. Bunnings FTW!!

you know slots and holes in your rotors ready dont do much. If I was you I would get your rotors machined (like $20 a corner)and get some good pads. You will notice a massive braking difference. You add some slotted and drilled rotors after this... and you wont notice a thing.
