I have acess to a machine shop thinking of doing this just for the bling bling of it all? Anyone else done this? I have done this to past motorbikes so thinking to do the Pathfinder for the ease of the brakes. :eek:

Well...dunno about drilling a set of stock rotors. You could try it and see. *shrug*

Honestly that really wouldn't be a good idea. The rotors you have now are designed to work as is, and you would be severly weakining then and they would be more prone to warping. You will also reduce the amount of material making contact and reduce the friction. The material and the surface of the pre-drilled rotors are designed with that in mind.

 

And if you do go and get the pre-drilled rotors definatly get the pads they recommend as well, it's all about getting just the right amount of friction.

Drilled rotors crack.. thats it.. theyre made of cast iron and dont like that abuse especially with the brake pad passing over them over and over.. btw.. you want a 4x or an indy car.. as far as "bling"? how bout a lift kit

I am seeking 88offroads advise as to the cheapest method of getting me a lift asap.

So thus stock rotors suck being that they (Nissan) makes an aftermarket available that is higher end?

 

If so please point me a link please. :allclean:

You get the extra gas disipation without having to worry about cracking...

I'll let you know what my results are after installing cross drilled rotors on my 02... got them from precision brakes - SP Performance cross drilled rotors. Gonna try and get them installed memorial day weekend - along with the 2" A/C lift... (and diff guard and man hubs - if they fit)

Well i am totally screwed because of 88offroad he has me hooked up on this baddd.

 

I just installed the 31 10.5 15 bfgoodrich's on the 87 and wow mang they look hot!

I am going for a body lift of prob 4 inch this week (doing myself) then bumpers buidling a light bar on top like the had to find stock ones and a roofrack stat!
