370z Nismo Rotors

znism11

I went to test drive at my local dealer here in DFW Texas & saw that the Nismo
did not have vented disc rotors on it, it was plain ol stock. Did the dealer take it out or did nissan forget to put them on. The specs & features on nissan's website list that the Nismo comes with it but did not see it at the dealer???

Anyone notice this too or is it just me???

Caravanshaka

which dealer in DFW has a nismo? might have to go see it.

I don't recall any of the ones I have seen having vented rotors.

Rotors on the Nismo are the same that come on the 370z coupe with sport package.

they all have vented rotors. I think you are thinking of crossdrilled. The venting is in between the front and back side of the rotor and allows air to travel through there, as opposed to one solid piece of metal.

it looks like the old watermill paddle wheel in there.

good call Mike, I didn't think about that verbage they use to describe the channel between the rotors. They aren't cross-drilled or slotted, which is what the OP is thinking of.

Response for caravanshaka,

Check it out at Don Davis south Arlingtion off i20, there is a while on there. Thai was
man sales rep, he let me took many of them for a spin already, but the Nismo is the best, try i see what i mean!

Thx for all the responses, yeah i guess I was thinking of the crossdrilled ones, oh well might have to put them on later when the niz gets broken in more.

yup my Nismo has ventillated. I wouldn't mind putting crossdrilled / slotted on there though :P

Don Davis is where I take my 08 Altima, 98 altima n when I had my 06 infinit G35 b4 I sold it 3 months ago for servicing. Its a great dealership. Did both 370z test drives there too. No hassle or B.S. they jus threw me the keys and I was gone. Both times.
One thing I can say is that they alwayz have a great selection of Z's and GT-R's. The are usually the 1st to get the models as well in dfw.
The prices are a lil high but I can say this much. It will be hard to find a model there with anything less than all accessories on the car. They usually offer tire guard or some warranty as part of the package. Some models even come with aftermarket 3M bras from there dealership n I haven't seen a car there yet without 35% tint. So the price is a lil up compared to some. But I haven't seen Z's on the lot as well equipped in dfw.
I would recommend them... I have also purchased there so if u want a salesperson reference. Just PM me. I know which salesguys are good n who aren't.

Solid rotors are better than cross drilled and vented; this is why they are on the Nismo. With modern pads, you don't need cross drilled or vents...

Equinox

Nismo doesn't have solid rotors, it has ventillated rotors - I can tell you meant to say that with your summation

Thats why all modern race cars still use slotted rotors right? What does ferrari know, idiots still living in the 20th century...Nissan clearly knows better...or could it be that they are cheaper to manufacture/buy?

37Z

Slotted/cross-drill rotors can't be turned/re-surfaced. Current brake pads don't glaze rotors as much as in the older ones. IMHO, it is best to get a lighter two-piece rotors, add DOT 4 brake fluid, add better brake pads and install SS brake lines to your 370Z with sport package. This will reduce the unsprung weight and keep the brake pedal from bottoming out at track outings.
