Scottie-GNZ Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 The rotors on my 72 say minimum thickness is 11mm Yup, that's what it said when I took them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 If you hold them up to the light and can see through them, then they are too thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 If you hold them up to the light and can see through them, then they are too thin. I've had a pair of rotors like that on a S130 I bought... folded them in half with my bare hands when I took them off. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Who/where has the best price on new S30 rotors? My local AutoZone is $75/ea. I thought I could turn down the ones on the 240Z I recently picked up, but they are warped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullbound Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Rockauto.com has them for $59.79 each. Here's a discount code: 26657572206401 (expires March 7, 2010). If you buy from rockauto, enter the code above in the "How did you hear about us" line of the shopping cart. Sometimes you can find deals on ebay, too.

piston Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 75 at autozone? might as well get a pair of cross drills for that price. too bad i work at napa and get unbeatable deals. probably like 17.00-20.00 a piece for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olie05 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 that's a drag. 280z ones are about 20 bucks a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what's the difference between the 240Z and 280Z rotors that make such a big price difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) your correct. the 240z for no damn reason is $72.49 retail. however, the 260z and 280z came up with a cheaper affordable rotor for $26.99. someone at our corp office must be on crack. 240z rotor info. # of Bolt Holes : 4 Bolt Circle Diameter : 103 mm Brake Rotor Diameter : 10.67" Brake Rotor Discard Thickness : .41" Brake Rotor Thickness New : .49" Brake Rotor Type : Disc Brake Rotor Only Center Hole Diameter : 3.19" Height : 2.02" Maximum Lateral Runout : .004" Mounting Type : Type L - Rotor Only. The Rotor Is Mounted Inboard Of The Hub. The Hub & Rotor Sections Are Bolted Together. Replace The Complete Assembly If Hub Flange Is Bent Or Damaged. See Diagram For More Information. Vented / Solid : Solid 260-280z rotor info. # of Bolt Holes : 4 Bolt Circle Diameter : 103 mm Brake Rotor Diameter : 10.67" Brake Rotor Discard Thickness : .41" Brake Rotor Thickness New : .49" Brake Rotor Type : Disc Brake Rotor Only Center Hole Diameter : 3.19" Height : 1.7" Maximum Lateral Runout : .004" Mounting Type : Type L - Rotor Only. The Rotor Is Mounted Inboard Of The Hub. The Hub & Rotor Sections Are Bolted Together. Replace The Complete Assembly If Hub Flange Is Bent Or Damaged. See Diagram For More Information. Vented / Solid : Solid guess the height is the differnce between the two. that is why the hub spacers are also different in thickness when converting to vented z31 rotors depending on hubs being used.
