have you done the 20 or so initial bedding procedures from 80-20mph?

Ztalker

yeah, they zinced the rotors before they shipped and it was a one week delay according to them. Painting the hat is good but you wouldn't be able to see the hat once the wheels are on.

Even though you really don't see it, I want to spray it to prevent rust fom spreading in the future. I also plan on spray the fins.

Ztalker

great... when your rotors are finally painted, they will be more like those 300$ stillen rotors.

I need brakes right now too and saw slotted/drilled ones from this same company. Good price for rotors/pads for all 4 corners.

Mine took almost three weeks to arrive. They said the zinc process was the hold up. The rotors look great and after about eight hard decel runs from 50mph to 10mph, the zinc came off. I didn't think much about the zinc when I bought them, it was all that the vendor offered. But now, it looks nice to see the silver on the hat and vanes instead of rust. I think for the price, these are a damn good find on replacement rotors. I'll be using mine at the track in two weeks for the Nissan Sport event in Albuquerque and we'll see what happens. If they don't hold up well, it's not a huge loss. Replacing them after the event with the same R1 rotors for daily driving duties is still cheaper than if I had originally bought one set of OEM, lol.

You betcha! A $6 can of Duplicolor 1200 degree paint and 2 hours in the oven should do the trick

Ztalker

WOW... let us know the outcome after your tracking event.

Well i got my double drilled/slotted rotors for the front and drilled/slotted for the rear. But when i replaced them i also replaced the front pads and i noticed that it sounds like its rubbing in the front right wheel? is this normal? is there a break in period for the position to be right?

Ztalker

you must complete the initial bedding procedure with your new pads and new rotors to get rid of that noise...in other words, the marriage between the two will need to be consumated. Once they have exchanged their DNAs, everything will be fine.

Hahaha... what is the procedure?

Ztalker

this was how i did mine....went from 60 to 20 mph for 8 to 10 consecutive runs and let the brakes cool down for 30 minutes and repeating the procedure 10 more times. There should be no squeaks or squeals after that.

I've had these slotted/drilled rotors on me Z for a while and I am pleased with its performance. Only thing that I dislike is the rust on the rotors in certain areas. They claim to be zinc coated to prevent rust but I guess rusting is inevitable.

Really? I've only had my drilled/slotted zinc coated rotors for a month, and so far, the zinc is holding up well. No rust anywhere aside from the pad contact area (and of course that gets rubbed off during the first braking).

I have recently put the R1 rotors on with nismo pads. They seem to be working really well. (the rotors). The rear rotors are identical to the stock ones. Now the fronts on the other had are not. The surface that the auctal pad sits on is wider on the stock rotors and the center of the rotor where the vains are is much smaller. the R1 rotors vains are much wider. Thus leaving less metal to absorb heat. (This is if you are looking down into the veins from the top.) Not sure how much of a difference this makes. Anyone care to shed some light on this. I should have take pictures before I put them on the car so we can compare.

That's too bad they don't sell slotted only rotors; drilling weakens the rotor and removes mass used for heat sinking.

Has anyone noticed cracking? What about performance gain over OEM?

You might need to register as a vendor to post here under your company name. I don't know the rules exactly, just an fyi.

Do you have anything for 2006 Non-Brembo? I don't see any on your site.
