This is a cruel discussion for any of our folically challenged friends...:rolleyes:

why must you torment me like this Josh.

It's his job. ;)

Yeah and Chris is the biggest instigator of all time!

:iagree:
:rofl2:

Corect me if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that the original purpose of the slotted and cross drilled rotors was originally to help with degassing. Back in the day when the pads would heat up the slots and holes would give the gas from the pads somewhere to escape which helped prevent a decrease in breaking performance. Also from what I've been reading, is that the slots still help keep pads clean, but the original reason of the slots and hole isn't really needed with pretty much any street pad any more and would generally be for looks more than anything else. Again I could be wrong and if so feel free to correct me. Also I'm assuming that since these fit the sport package equipped 370 it will also fit the NISMO model as well.

I am going to have to sit down soon and do a full, top/down write-up on this topic. In the meantime, I'll say that cross-drilling was developed initially a long time ago to reduce rotor weight. Benefits that were discovered were increased pad bite (more leading edges), better wet performance, (slightly) better cooling and elimination of pad off-gassing effects.

Pads today off-gas very little -- at least after their initial green bedding. But the other benefits remain. They are not ideal for racing or hard track use as the holes add stress risers, which can result in premature cracking. But for street and high-performance use, QUALITY drilled rotors usually perform great.

Looks? Well, that's up to you!

drillers rotors are bleh.

one full day of francorchamp spa tracking and our GT-R's rotors were cracking. so we went AP racing J-hooks. :tiphat:and extremely pleased

Glad you are enjoying them! The J-Hooks have been a big success for many GT-R owners.

That would be awesome. I'm up for learning what ever I can

AP racing on the dezir prototype?

dirty as hell though :roflpuke2:

Is this just the front's? Does AP make the rear's? What kind of brake pads does it come with? Thanks

yes, I have the rears... mintex xtreme pads come with the kit

Travisjb, this kit looks amazing thanks for your impression! Once I've out grown my oem Akebono's these are the brake kits I want to upgrade to.

A couple of things to note. Doing this again I would not upgrade to these as track brakes without a cooling solution. AP rotors are expensive so you don't want to be damaging rotors by overheating them (like me!). The front 6-pot calipers have dust seals, and these seals will be destroyed after the first good track day. The rear calipers do not have dust seals. Cooling will save your dust boots and rotors. Track pads are also a little more expensive with this kit so factor that in as well (they are also slightly larger).

ChrisSlicks, thanks for your insight I'll consider those factors you've mentioned.

Yes, It is very good to know. Thanks ChrisSlicks!
