Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Featured
> Your Nissan Skyline or 300ZX's disc brake rotors are vital for good stopping. They work with the brake pads, but over time, they cop a beating from heat and friction, especially if you drive it hard. Time for a change, eh?
Is it Time to Swap Them Out?
• Brake pedal feels like it's pulsing or vibrating
• Brakes are squealing like stuck pigs or grinding
• Taking longer to stop than it used to
• Rotors are cracked or have deep grooves
• Brake pads wearing unevenly
Keen for a WOF Pass?
Worn brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and without cracks to pass the test. No worries, we can sort you out.

Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors mean dodgy brakes on your Skyline or 300ZX. Replacing them keeps you safe and stops other brake bits from getting damaged. DBA rotors are tops for performance, but CARFIX has others. Bob at CARFIX can point you to the right rotor for your Nissan. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, a few quick things to keep you safe and the job tidy:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car that's only held up by a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good blast with Brake Cleaner to get rid of it. Trust me, your lungs (and your garage) will thank you.
• Hand Protection: Grab some Nitrile Gloves. Keeps the grease off your mitts and stops that brake cleaner from drying your skin out.
• Lube It Up: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots helps everything go back together smoothly and stops things seizing up later. Worth its weight in gold, that stuff.
Fitment Notes
Make sure you get the right rotor size and type for your Nissan Skyline or 300ZX. Some models have different specs depending on the year and model. Bob can help you get the right fit.

🧰 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.
