Does anyone know the right way the holes should be facing on installed xdrilled rotors.

I installed the front ones with the Holes starting on top of the rotor and moving closer to the bottom left(top holes) to right(bottom)holes.

Or should it be top hole starting from right to left(bottom hole? )


Im confused the boxes the rotor came in didnt have a distinction..

 

 

First, you have a 95 which is a 4th gen so you should probably be posting there and not under 5th gen.
Second, this belongs in the tire/wheel section and you should probably check there for a walkthrough.

 

#1 I dont have a 95 I have a 2k2... I love how people think they are smarter than someone else right off the bat!

#2 The tire and wheels sections is exaclty what it says its for TIRES AND WHEELS>>> NOT BRAKES

exact quote from the .org "Tires and Wheels (1 Viewing)
Rubber, and lots of rubber in all kinds of sizes. What do you use when it's freezing? What do you use when it's hot? You want sticky rubbers? How about rubbers that will last a long time? Find your perfect rubber in here."

Let me see does this section sound like its for general question involving ummmm brakes! NOT

SO before you post your smart azz coments learn not to be a *****!

 

Polo's pic shows the correct way. You want the slots or drill pattern to sweep across the pad from the hub toward the outside edge of the pad.

 

This is correct.

 

hahaha, CRY about it?
you never mentioned u had a 2002 and it says ur car is "1995 Blue" in ur profile. + ur name is "MaxgrtBLUE" so it would only make sense that that is ur car?? sorry about the tires/wheels section, thats my fault. it was late and i had a couple beers in me. chill out man. didnt diss you or anything

 

hope it helps

 

am i the only one that thinks that looks wrong?

 

I think it's wrong, too.

 

Polo is wrong, M1RAG3 is right. Copy and pasted from tirerack.com dealing with Brembos. When I put on my Brembo's I read the instructions twice to make sure.

From Tirerack:

Brembo Sport slotted brake rotors are sold in axle pairs and the easiest way to verify correct usage is to install the rotors on the side of the vehicle that results in the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the rotor always contacting the brake pads first.

Here is mine

Big Fatty, thanks for saying exactly what I was about to say.

 

i stand corrected and confused.

 

So if the edge of the slot on the outside of the rotor is supposed to contact the pad first then how is yours right if your drill closest to the inner of the rotor hitting the pad first?

 

And how is polo wrong if the picture he posted is the same as yours? The edge of the slot closest the outside of the rotor is contacting the pad first. This thread is one giant contradiction.

 

None of this would be an issue if it was realized that cross-drilled/slotted rotors are stupid and do nothing but add rice.

 

They are different, Polo is the driver side mine is the passenger side. Look at the outside edge of the rotor, the first part of the slot/drill that hits the pad needs to be on the outside not the inside.

Okie now im more confused.. But what ever after i saw that picture with the slotted rotor i went and changed them all around today..

IM not going to change them again! At least they all 4 look the same direction!

 

Me too. I swore I read somewhere that the slots/drills should sweep to the outer edge of the pad.

 

I used these instructions when I installed a BBK late last year.

 

Look at the DIRECTION OF MOTION....my outer hole contacts the pad FIRST on the OUTER RADIUS of the ROTOR...

Look at NISMAX's diagram...it also supports what me and Fatty have been trying to say.

 

I'm assuming that they come STANDARD on AMGs, Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches, and many other high end, high performance cars simply because they add "rice"? If you are INTENTIONALLY trying not to contribute anything useful to this thread...please consider that before you post and cease to do so.

 

But also consider the fact that drilled/slotted rotors don't do anything different from a blank rotor on a Maxima in daily use. Reason why those high end cars have those rotors is because they need it to dissipate heat faster when on a race track or slowing down from insane speeds.

 

cross-drilled and slotted rotors are retarded rice. if anything, you get slotted...

i stick with brembo blanks until i can afford a big brake upgrade.

 

amgs ferraris and lambos come with cross-drilled or slotted...not both. they are also made with larger diameter rotors for dissipating heat. rather than bash him for pointing out the truth, you should try to educate yourself on how NOT to waste money.

 

I agree that high end cars may have a much increased need for drilled/slotted rotors because of their bigger engines leading to excessive speeds....HOWEVER....rathan that sayin I'm bashing him...look at the thread name, MaxGTR has an honest question that some people in here are TRYING to help him answer...nobody really needed to reply to this thread, we could have just left him to figure it out...but come on...this is the .org and it is for helping out other max owners....if I can do something to help out MaxGTR then I will do it...so I posted a pic of my x-drilled rotors on my drivers side. Other comments like "they just add rice" are not needed in this thread period, they have nothing to do with the title of the thread and are completely off topic to the technical question of how to mount the rotors that MaxGTR has bought. Some people like the look, or in some cases the functionality of x-drilled/slotted rotors, and if they like it and decide to spend their money on this modification, then it is their choice.

 

so would you prefer that a new thread be started to inform everyone that they're rice or should we just not tell anyone anything at all that they don't wanna hear and let them live in ignorance?

 

Probably create a new thread and go from there IMO.

 

To have the first few posts you have on the .org being negative bashing ones probably is not the best way to start, but I would like to clear some things up.

Cross drilled/slotted rotors for the daily driver will not make any noticable increase of performance, however they will not decrease performance in any measurable amount either. In the case of an emergency braking at highway speeds there could be a benefit from C/S, but that is not a reson alone to buy them. Anyone who says they would prefer the looks of a blank vs a C/S rotor is tough to believe. A quick check of ebay shows the cost difference between Brembo blank and C/S is only $20 per axle. So I had a choice, $20 for something that does not hurt me in performance and gives me what I feel a better look.

As far as them being rice, that is a tough argument for you to make spark, as it is your opinion and you said you are saving up for a big break kit. 99.99% of those contain rotors that are C/S, so you esstianly said you were saving up for C/S rotors.

In one of your previous posts in a different thread you stated you wasted money on ICE for your pleasure. I would find it hard to believe that every single thing you have done would be viewed by every single person as not being rice. How can you bash me or any one else on the .org when you say you are doing the exact same thing to your car, buying for looks and not neccessarily performance?

I am not going to get into a pissing match with a person who's 50% came in this topic. If you feel any more need to bash, that what PM is for. This is the last public thing I will say about this topic. MaxgtrBlue, good luck on your rotors.

Fat

 

Fatty.....good luck with your install MaxGTR...post some pics if you have the time.

 

Stop being such a feg...post pics of your ride and we will give it a rice grade. I can imagine it will have some sort or "rice" to it. People have their choices...they choose what looks good to them.

 

Wow all this from my 1 question lol... Thanks For the supporters out there. I'll post pictures of my ride soon. I have little time to do so however... working on something for the .org maxima oweners...

oh the reason i still have my profile as 95 max blue becasue that was my first maxima turbo baby that was stolen from me so im not gonna change it. yet...

 

ummm....

all i have on it is H&R springs for a nice looking drop and help out with the handling and tint to protect my leather and block some of the sun out. not too much riceyness there, huh?
