Swapping Out Those Brake Disc Rotors — RDA's Got You Sorted!
> Brake rotors – they're the unsung heroes of your Nissan's stopping power. City driving here in NZ, especially battling the traffic in Auckland or Wellington, chews through 'em. They get thin, warped, or scored, and next thing you know, your braking's gone to custard. Don't risk it, mate!
Spotting the Trouble:
• Brakes sound like a flock of seagulls fighting over a chip?
• Steering wheel doing the shimmy when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to pull up than your neighbour's old ute?
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder?
• Pads wearing out faster than your socks?
WOF Woes, Eh?
Dodgy rotors are a dead cert for failing your WOF. They gotta be above that minimum thickness and not looking like something the cat dragged in.

Grit Rating: 6/10 (a bit of a mission)

• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a no-brainer when you're mucking around with brakes. Protect those peepers!
