Description
Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — DBA Style
> Your Nissan Maxima's disc brake rotors are what stop you, so it's a no-brainer to keep them in good nick. They cop a hiding over time, wearing down and sometimes warping or cracking, especially if you're always slamming on the brakes in city traffic or giving it heaps out on the open road.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a gutted pig or a nasty grinding when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling a bit of a wobble or shake through the brake pedal.
• Seeing grooves, cracks, or rusty patches on the rotor itself.
• Taking longer to pull up than usual.
WOF Woes?
Worn or rooted disc brake rotors are a dead cert to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be thick enough and free from cracks to pass the test.
DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 1.5 to 2 hours per rotor.
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, a wheel wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and maybe a brake caliper tool.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking, a few things to keep in mind. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – axle stands are your best mate here. Grab some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean, and Safety Glasses to protect your eyes from any flying dust or debris. When you're done, a good blast with Brake Cleaner will get rid of any brake dust, and a smear of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly next time around.
Expert Recommendation
Dodgy brake rotors mean dodgy stopping, and that's not ideal in your Nissan Maxima. Swapping them out keeps you safe and gives you confidence behind the wheel. DBA rotors are top-notch, but CARFIX has options for every budget. Give Bob @ CARFIX a yell, and he'll sort you out with the right parts for your Maxima. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotor is the right one for your Nissan Maxima i (1988-1994). Check the size, thickness, and stud pattern to be sure it fits like a glove.
