rotors

[phanatikz32]

apparently my front rotors are warped on my z, im thinking about replacing both front and rear rotors with slotted and or drilled rotors, if anyone has any recomendations as far as companies, or whether i should get drilled or slotted or both, i would appreciate it.

thanx

Your best bet if you want to upgrade is to go with just slotted. You probably don't need any more than that. Definitely don't go with just drilled rotors, as they have a tendency to warp and crack faster. At least thats what I have come to understand. I hope I was of some help.

that sounds like a good deal, brembo's are usually expensive. thanx for the advice!

[phanatikz32]

what about drilled and slotted?

if your getting a lot of vibration in the steering wheel be sure to check the steering rack bushings while your at it

I redid my brake system when I bought my car, front calipers were frozen and rotors destroyed. I went with turbo grade calipers from Nissan along with drilled and slotted rotors. I got all four done and the response is very nice. If your rotors is all you need you can get OEM fitting packages from nissan specialty sites and even ebay pretty cheap. Make sure you know the size of your rotors since earlier models have different sizes as I found out on my 1990. Luckily I had to buy new calipers anway so I bought the late model calipers to fit the larger front rotors. Make sure...

Mine are 2 years old now and its probably the most noticible mod people comment on (rest of car is OEM body wise). I would go drilled and slotted or just slotted. Since the price difference between these are nearly non existant unless you are racing professionally go all out, buy drilled and slotted.

If you want pics, I have some just let me know. I plan to paint the calipers soon to really get the rotors some attention

I'd go with drilled and slotted brembo rotors. I'm sure one of our forum sponsors can hook you up

thanx for the insight, i would like to see those pictures, post em up when you get a chance! my z is a 91 so im pretty sure my rotors are the same size as yours seeing as its only one year difference, what size are yours?

i found some brembo front and rear drilled and slotted rotors on ebay for 220 shipped, it sounds good to me so i think im going to go ahead and purchase those, thanx for the offer tho

only early (89 production year) 1990 nonturbo's had the tinner rotors.

All other Z32's (both turbo, non-turbo, vert) had the same size brakes.

Doubt they're really Brembo ones for that price. I'd make sure first.

im actually kinda pissed at this i was supposed to be able to drop in my vg30dett 2 weeks from sunday but now i have to buy these rotors and an FMIC and i cant afford to make the downpayment on the engine untill mid december now...

[nsrZ32]

that's ok.....all good things take time

just be patient and it'll come together

look on the bright side....not driving it will keep the mileage down lol

[phanatikz32]
