Three weeks ago I installed front and rear cross drilled slotted rotors, Hawk One brake pads and painted the calipers everything took about three hours to complete I'm definately happy with the end result. I also blacked out the front grill here's the pics:

Looking real good. I gotta get some rotors one of these days.

 

Nice set-up !

I am not sure what was your motive going behind drilled rotors, I heard that drilled rotors cracks during heavy breaking or in long term run. I hope that's not true at least for your case.

 

I do alot of drag racing they expell the gases alot quicker run cooler and stops on a dime in a straight line and no more rotors warping.

 

i heard the warp faster then regular oem rotors.....

also which rotors r those

 

They look great! Can you notice a big difference
in Braking performance? Also, do you have two maxima's ?

 

A major difference in braking. Yeah, I have an 04 and 07 Maxima.
The Rotors are SP, Stock Calipers and Hawk One Pads!

 

i may have just man gravied on myself at the sight of those sexy rotors

 

i had a set of brembo x-drilled on my last car and after about a year of pretty reasonable driving i started to notice a lot of little hairline fractures so i tossed them. Dont get me wrong they stopped great but after seeing that i wouldn't get x-drilled again. Stick with plain slotted, they still vent the gases but are much less failure prone

 

I heard the same thing. I have cross drilled on my rears but they dont do as much work as the fronts. Also, my rears are 350Z rotors which are vented.

 

I love the look! I prefer cross-drilled myself....they wear out the pads less than slotted....slotted tend to shave the pads and wear them out fast. I have Euro-Rotors: Cross-Drilled, Vented, Oversized and Cadmium plated in the front with Hawk HPS pads....and I do notice how the car stops way better than before. I have Hawk HPS in the back on standard rotors also cadmium plated.

Love the wheels...I see you did the same as I did and stuck with 18". Do yourself a favour and as soon as the tires are worn out ....actually don't wait till they're worn out...RSA's are so bad! I notice a huge difference since I switched tires. I bought Riken Raptors ...they are VR rated for $500 tax in for all 4...however if you have the money go for either TOYO's, Yokohama's or Falkens...they are the best for our cars IMHO. My new mags are Konig Again 5's. I also love the way you painted the parts in you engine bay...very clean! You even the FSTB too! Now go get youself a decent battery tie down...maybe Stillen to match your Stillen FSTB and a NISMO Oil Cap...put the OIL cap on first then apply the logo.

That will kind of complete the look under the hood...l just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks for the props everyone. I actually have the NISMO Oil cap and the Stillen battery tie down I took it off about two months ago and I keep forgetting to put back on. One of these days!

 

I know what your'e saying but I have never heard it said that way

 

Kevin, Your wheels look awsome. What wheels are those?

 

Very nice setup. Keep up the good work.

 

Diamo 18" wheels with stock RSA's !

 

Looks nice man, good job!! My only concern, which I hope I am wrong, but are the rotors on the right sides? I maybe wrong but I always thought that the slots cut into the direction of travel (front), opposite of what you show in your first pic. I do know that there is a specific way the slots go, I just can't recall exactly that now. Anyone else got a thought? I would hate to see them get torn up prematurely or even as bad as cause an accident for you(if they were to fail). Just my .02

 

Those rotors and calipers are hot man... I'm getting mine today, It will be ready for tomorrow...

 

well hurry up and get it done!

 

Looking great kev... Should help you a lot when u r slowing down from that 12 sec runs

good work!

 

Did this really need its own thread?

Gawd damn you guys are almost as bad as the 4th gen forum...

 

yes......... i can post my 300z calipers again if you want....

that was a low blow.....

 

stop following me Pinky.....


I will get an interwebs restraining order.

 

josh has several of those already on me.......... i know my way around them....

 

Josh likes your attention....he lets things slid....
