Are they the 2 piece rotors?

NewYorkJon34 06-09-2011 12:19 PM

Ya 2-piece slotted with the drilled holes in the slots. I already have the front set installed. High quality stuff

Ron 06-09-2011 02:15 PM

^^ pics of the fronts?

Edit: nevermind, I saw them on your journal. :D

vividracing 06-09-2011 03:08 PM

I run the 2 piece rotors on the front of my race car and love them so far! If you ever need replacement rings for them let me know!

NYJon, how much was the complete set Front/Rears? Their website is too labor intensive to figure out pricing and they arent the best at customer support answering questions.. :icon17:

Z eliminator 06-18-2011 04:56 PM

ChipsWithDips 06-19-2011 11:06 AM

I got a full set of front + rear RB rotors waiting to be installed on my car. Now I just need some sport calipers :roflpuke2:

Are the headlights for a 370z, if so PM me the details/pics. I'll buy them asap

Z eliminator 06-25-2011 05:32 AM

I had to grind down the parking brake shield lip on mine . Not a lot just a little bit as the bolts that hold the rotors together were just scrapping them.
Car looks great with them on.

NewYorkJon34 06-25-2011 08:35 AM

I'm at the shop right now, on the 370z you can't just remove the whole backing plate without losing your e-brake. I'm having the guy grind down the inner rim hub where it is rubbing & that should fix it. So thsee rotors were def not tested on a 370z, prob just a g37s.

Buy some brakelines like stainless ones.

NewYorkJon34 06-28-2011 02:07 PM

Goodridge SS brakelines & motul 600 fluid

I wouldn't waste the money on Motul 660 unless you are heading to the track. Castrol GT LMA is cheap and more than high performance enough. Some extreme high performance brake fluids are not designed to sit in your brake system for extended periods and could allow corrosion as a result.

NewYorkJon34 06-28-2011 06:53 PM

It's still very good brake fluid, & I daily drive my car so I'm not worried

Of course it is good brake fluid. However it is intended to be flushed every 6 months or so, just be forewarned.

pic's of rear set up and had to grind parking brake hub
 
6 Attachment(s)
you can see where the bolts that hold the rotors together rubbed on the parking brake hub outer ring/
We only had to grind on a very small area, as they touched on differnet spots of the passenger and drives side.
We did not have to touch the dust shields at all.

NewYorkJon34 07-09-2011 02:01 PM

Bringing back brake memories with those pics Z, lol

I'm loving my rear rotors, car stops like a champ

Z eliminator 09-28-2011 11:51 AM

Question
i put these rotors on the way the instructions said to .
But the scoo[pson the inside of the rotors seem to be going the qrong direction
does any body else hjave these rotors,
can you look at my pics in the above post and tell me if i put them on correctly.

thanks

fuct 09-28-2011 03:17 PM

there website says there rotors can go on either side..... kinda silly cuz your slots and the internal viens they brag about on their page will be the wrong way on one side. hmmmm

ChrisSlicks 09-28-2011 07:05 PM

Non directional venting on front rotors is an ultimate fail (and cheap out).

As for your "slots" the direction does not matter, however we need to see the profile view to see which way the cooling veins are going.

Imperial 11-06-2011 05:11 AM

Damn... grinding = fail in my book. Guess it's more waiting for a 370Z specific rear two-piece rotors.

The center-mount flanges for hat mounting to the rotor ring allows the ring to be used on either side of the vehicle simply by mounting the hat on either side of the ring :)

The hat can be mounted on either side of the ring thus making the rotor feasible on either side of the vehicle and making the venting slots/vanes perfectly directional if mounted properly.

The direction of the slots is directly associated with the direction of convergant cooling vanes within the rotor - With that said, direction of the slots do matter. The rotors should be identical on either side of the car. The hat will just be mounted on opposite sides of the rotor.

It might be true in this case but it is not consistently the case. Some manufacturers have the slots facing forwards even when the veins are pointing backwards, not sure the reasoning, just one of those variations between manufacturers. But yes, they should definitely be pointing the same direction on both sides.

so when ordering is their a left and right rotor, or do you have to take the rotor apart and put it all back together?

Left & right rotor? Each rotor comes pre-assembled.

RacingBrake
 
I purchased the RacingBrake kit for my 350Z. The brake kit included 2-piece rotors, calipers, SS brake lines, brake pads, and ATE super blue brake fluid. As I recall, these rotors are marked for each wheel so they are correctly installed.
I had no issues with the install nor any warped rotors after 30,000 miles.

NewYorkJon34 11-07-2011 02:24 PM

Ya they are marked on the 370z as well, the rears require some cutting of the heat shielding* to fit properly. But I love my brakes now, very high quality stuff.

fuct 11-07-2011 02:25 PM

good info fellas, thx!
