Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Your Nissan 370Z or Infiniti G37's braking relies heavily on the disc brake rotors. They wear down over time due to friction and heat, especially if you drive it hard, eh?
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brake pedal's doing the Macarena (pulsating or vibrating)
• Squealing like a pig or grinding when you brake
• Taking longer to stop than a runaway shopping trolley
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder (scoring or cracks)
• Pads wearing unevenly? That's a worry.
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They gotta be above minimum thickness and no major damage.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 7/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, caliper compressor (makes life easier).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, mate, let's make sure you're sorted. First off, safety! Chuck on some safety glasses to keep the crud out of your eyes, and grab some nitrile gloves — keeps the hands clean, eh? Next, give everything a good blast with brake cleaner to get rid of that nasty brake dust. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize on the caliper bolts to keep them playing nicely next time you're in there.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors? That's a no-go for safety. Replacing them brings back that confident stopping power. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen to help you nail the right part. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the rotor fits your exact model and year. 370Z and G37 can have different sizes. And always do both sides of the axle for even braking.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
🧰 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.
