Gotta stop those ponies safely! Disc brake rotors are key for top-notch braking, especially in machines like the Infiniti FX50, Nissan 370Z, and Infiniti Q50. They're what your brake pads grip to bring you to a halt. DBA makes some primo rotors, and you'll find them here at CARFIX.

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Style
> Your disc brake rotors are mission-critical for stopping safely. Over time, particularly if you drive an Infiniti or Nissan hard, they can wear, warp, or even crack. This means your braking won't be as sharp, and that's not ideal, eh?
Signs It's Time to Get This Sorted:
• Your brake pedal feels like it's vibrating or pulsing. That's not a good sign.
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes? Get it checked.
• Taking longer to stop than usual.
• Rotors look like they've seen better days—cracks or deep grooves.
• Brake pads wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Buggered brake rotors are an instant WOF fail here in New Zealand. They need to be above the minimum thickness and crack-free to pass the test. Don't risk it!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional)
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, let's make sure you're set up for success. We don't want any cafe lunch bodges here!
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands. Your life's worth more than a rotor change!
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away the grime before you start pulling things apart. Trust me, your lungs (and your tools) will thank you.
• Protect Your Hands: Those brake parts can be rough on the skin. A decent pair of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Stop the Squeal: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots can prevent annoying brake squeal. Ask Bob for the trick!
Expert Recommendation
Dodgy brake rotors put your Infiniti or Nissan (and you!) at risk. Swapping them out brings back that confident stopping power. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for finding the perfect part. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the new rotors fit your Infiniti or Nissan like a glove, including the brake caliper setup. Some models have unique rotor sizes or offsets. Always do both sides of the axle at the same time for balanced braking. No point in doing a half-arsed job, eh?
Bob's always got your back!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
