JZA70 Vented brakes

[applesauce]

I was standing around yesterday and noticed that my front rotors are vented. Yes I know what drilled and slotted rotors are but mine aren't like that. They are vented right were the disc meets the hub part of the rotor.

Im just curious, never heard of or seen any supra's w/ these. Im assuming its a JZA70 thing or maybe UK or so. The car was imported into Canada so I know they use UK spec parts I think:1zhelp: Has anyone seen or know what im talking about?

Mine were the same way, no biggie.

Yeah, i've just never seen it before. When its time to get new rotors I know your local parts store isn't gonna have them. Im just curious to know what year cars came w/ them etc.

ya i got my rotors from Altorm(an import parts supplyer) , they were standered 92 supra turbo rotors had no issiues , and they are vented as well (the last of the brembo blanks they had in stock)

think you're speaking of delphi rotors which are hard to get in the US...

Pics? All MA70 front/rear rotors I've seen are vented....

All A70 rotors are vented. Only the MK1 and MK2 had non-vented rotors, and only in the rear. Most cars have at least vented rotors on the front, except for cars like Tercels, lol.

hrmm id like to see a pic

He isn't talking about the veins in the rotor. It is vented between the hub and the actual rotor, as well as between the two braking surfaces.

Heres some bad pics but you should get the idea...

I haven't noticed that either yet, but the only car I've paid attention to is the one I drive...which isn't even driving right now :icon_razz

On the other hand, my car isn an

87, probably one reason
non-sports pkg
no abs
non-turbo

All reasons why even if it was offered my year why I wouldn't have it anyways.

Yep, allows it to suck in air from the front instead of the back (though we have vents in the back of the dust sheilds to try and pump air to the rotor)

spiffy looking.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Sorry, I misunderstood the original post.

All JZA70's have the rotors being shown, IIRC.

Thanks guys exactly what I was trying to find out. Also might of taught a few folks some things.

So where would I find them at because I know NAPA doesn't have them.

 

[Jeff Lange]

They would need to be ordered from Toyota Japan, I'm not aware of any aftermarket sources that have the same style for the A70.

I could be wrong.
