Altima rotors for q45 upgrade

[Neejay]

Ive read somewhere that I can just use the 93-97 (but see 93-01 listed) altima rotors with the q45 stuff so I wont have to redrill the q45 rotors.

Is this true? I tried searching the rotor sizes but had no luck. I also read something about the offset of the rotors being different because of FWD.

Im very confused

The mix / match game is getting confusing...

Do the five lug you will be so glad you did! That will end this problem, and open the door for endless wheel fitment options.

i found 98 b16 rotor size is diameter 12.6/ 1.02 in. thick

q45 Outer Diameter 11.65 in(296 mm)Standard Thickness 1.10 in (28.0 mm)

The only one I dont know the size of is the altima rotors.

You happen to know the size of those?

97+ Q45 are 11.6"90-96 Q45 are 11" (just like Z32)

I dont know the Altima specs.

EDIT: 93-01 Altimas use 280mm (11" ) rotors. The minimum thickness is listed as 20mm, so I'm guessing theyre normally 22mm thick. (30mm Z32 rotors have a min thickness of 28mm)http://www.nolimitmotorsport.com/prod/BR25315

hmm....So I know that the diameters are the same (11"), but do the "minimum thickness" and "overall height" actually play a part in if I can use the altima rotors?

[hannibal]

The fact that the thickness is different makes it impossible to use with Q45 calipers. If the thickness was the same, then the height (actually a measurement of the offset of the rotor) would come into play.

I'd say Altima rotors are a no-go. You may just have to redrill some Q45 rotors.

hmm...thanks.

Im *planning* on going ca18det sometime in the near/far future. You think I would be alright for right now with just some power slot 240sx rotors, spl brake lines, and maybe some metalmaster pads?

Cause all I have right now is just a ka24e with intake, and exhaust.

[Onizuka]

disk offset is also important, even a rotor that has the right diamiter and thickness might not fit because the disk is at a different offset.

[hannibal]

Ive heard that pads, stainless lines, upgraded rotors, and good brake fluid can make all the difference in the world. I'd say its worth a try.
