That was the original claim by Nissan.I have a 2011 Nissan GTR. When the time comes to replace the pads will I also need to replace the rotors ir is this a rumor?
I have worked on cars and bikes all my life and have always understood that rotors should only be replaced when warped, cracked, or under service limit. I only use my GTR for weekend use. I rarely use the brakes to stop aggressively (my pads are still at 10mm after 11k miles). This being said I beleive I'm being very kind to my rotors now.
What do you guys understand in this matter?
They'll still crack. It will just take years longer. Cross drilled rotors are cursed to that fate. But, when the pads get low, just replace the pads unless the rotors are cracked and worn. The Nissan guys are just trying to not end up with a lawsuit over a shattered rotor on some baller who just replaces pads but ignores the rotor even when it's cracked all to crap. They are the most important safety item on the car.My GTR is only used on the street. It never has and never will see the track. I hardly ever even get hard on the brakes. They shouldn't ever crack right?
With the way you say you drive your car, the rotors will probably outlast your ownership of the car, unless your the type that hangs on to the same car for a really long time.My GTR is only used on the street. It never has and never will see the track. I hardly ever even get hard on the brakes. They shouldn't ever crack right?
