Brake Rotors: Keeping Your Ride Sorted — TRW Style!
> So, you've got a Nissan Skyline or a 350Z, a machine built for a good time, right? Well, those disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes, spinning away with your wheels, giving your brake pads something solid to grab onto. But, just like a good pair of boots, they wear out, get a bit thin, or even warp from all that spirited driving. When that happens, your stopping power takes a dive, and that's just not on.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Vibration or pulsation felt through the brake pedal or steering wheel during braking.
• Squealing, grinding, or scraping noises when braking.
• Increased stopping distances or a 'spongy' brake pedal.
• Visible scoring, grooves, or discolouration on the rotor surface.
Will it pass WOF?
No, worn or damaged brake rotors are a serious safety concern and will cause your vehicle to fail its Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection in New Zealand. Rotors must meet minimum thickness specifications and be free from excessive scoring or warping.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, wheel nut wrench, brake caliper compression tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, and potentially an impact wrench.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (SKU GDB1469) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 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.
