so ive looked everywhere, ive googled this, and ive read every thread on the j30/q45 brake upgrade. I know they exist, but i cant find anywhere that sells the slotted pre drilled 4/5 lug rotors for the j30 upgrade on a 240sx

i was thinking about just buying the rotors new from advanced and then having a shop drill them, but at that price i might as well just spend the extra money and get pre drilled slotted ones

if anyone here has any info, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

the other possibility is to use the same diameter but thinner altima/sentra spec V rotors, which are already 4 lug, but id rather just get the right ones from the start if i can. anybody used this and had any problems?


edit: i just found this on ebay... seems pretty cheap

lifetime warrenty against cracking, only one year against warping. Think these should be fine or am i better off in the long run with ones from advanced and getting them re drilled?
reading this http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Nissan_240SX_Performance_Modification/Brakes is telling me that the cheap economy slotted and rilled rotors are prone to warpage and cracking... and those rotors on ebay seem to be like "cheap economy rotors" given the price


maybe im worrying too much, but i want to do it once and right

ENJUKU has the s13/s14 rotors and z32 rotors. both 4/5 lug so just choose what you need. they come crossed drilled and slotted
 
that didnt help much, only used shit for sale, unless i missed something

also, im wondering if my master cylinder is leaky, and thinking about replacing it

im wondering if a junk yard one would be fine, or am i better off not taking the chance and getting a new one

also wondering what BMC people run with Q45 brakes

supposidly the 15/16 from the Z31 and S12 is the best for Z32 fronts and stock rears. But since the Q45 is 2 piston and not 4, would i be better off keeping a stock BMC? Im sure either would be fine, but just curious as to what people are using and how the pedal feels (spongy, firm, or just right)
 
Buy rotors from parts store.
Put your rotor hat against J30/Q45 and line up one stud hole as well as center hole.
Use spray paint to paint your template onto the rotor.
Get a 1/2" drill bit, and have at it.

The rotor centers on the hub, not the studs. Don't be scared. I've done tons of them without cracking or any other issues.
 
altima rotors fit
i told u already
and i have a pair that ran 4 mo
brand new still...
dont take my word for it then since i have no idea
