You talking about that gold colored bolt that randomly seems out of place and useless? If so you can take that out, it is just so the dealersip and people fixing your car can't put the rear wheels in the front.

^ no......its safe to remove.........and no a little bolt like that doesnt hold the rotor on...

350z is a typical floating rotor....designed to be sandwiched between an installed wheel and hub...

no that bolt just prevents you from putting the stock staggered wheels from the rear on the front

oh btw, you should read the faq ..

I think your understanding of a floating rotor is a little off, our cars have one piece rotors. a floating rotor is a design that allows the rotor to have some movement side to side for thermal expansion, hub flex, etc...

Let us know what school you went to, so we can find out why they have/had students who can't spell simple words.

yea, ill put the pictures up when i get the wheels on. I bought the wheels from bigwheels.net, not the best customer service. Ill post the link to it here or just see my gallery. I have the wheels and tires mounted but the bigwheels company has not mailed me the lug nuts yet. And if its my spelling that is off then im SOL cause I have a college exit exam on writting this sat. I wont lie, my spelling has always sucked but I still get through coolege just fine.
