No.People will say you can use Altima/Sentra R rotors or whatever but those maximum thickness is well bellow the minimum thickness in the FSM for q45/300zx/j30 or whatever.
Just drill the rotors man.I drilled mine back in April or so and have driven over 4,000 miles since then with no problems.
I was a little nervous too, but keep in mind that the rotors are hub centric and that the bolts aren't putting side-to-side stress on the rotors. The bolt holes simply allow the bolts to go threw and the torque you place on the bolts clamps the wheel down to the rotor down to the hub. The friction between the hub/wheel/rotor is what keeps the rotor in place, not the bolts, they simply provide the clamping force..
In otherwords your rotors aren't going to be weaker,crack or anything else if you drill them. Use a good drill, hard bit, high rpm, and a bit of lubricating oil (metal oil, not ky.)
