I'll shoot him a PM.

Well, I still have a warranty on a 15/16 BMC (it was still on my old s13) and warranty on some duralast gold (temporary) pads...went there last night and bought them. Im going to only be out $53 for the altima rotors + redrilling I guess.

Next week I'll be ordering some Axxis ultimate pads for my q45 fronts and my hybrid rear setup.

I did mine. It's easy. Use your old rotors as a template. Match up the rotor hubs and one wheel stud hole with a dowell rod or large drill bit. You can tape the mating parts so it does not move while marking the new holes. Use a marker to mark your new holes ( make sure they are even circles and centered.) remove the old rotor and use a quality punch to make one(1) solid punch dead center of your mark. Use two or more size drill bits to step the hole until you have the proper size. The key to the last process is to go slow and smooth with the drill speed and use lots of WD40. Stop a few times to clean out the shavings.
You can go to pullapart and get some used ones to practice on for real cheap. Calipers and rotors are like $10. Lightly chamfer the holes on both sides so they don't eat up your wheel stud threads. Hope this helps.

Altima rotors are already 4 lug.

Altima rotors are already 4 lug.
EDIT: I'm talking about rear 02-06 altima rotors:

the only ones i thought you could use for direct replacements were the 2nd to last gen centra se-r's

This is for the rear...forgot to mention that. For what brake swap Im doing, it calls for 02-06 5-lug altima rotors.

Umm... what rear hybrid are you doing?

I'm interested in one that doesn't involve shoes or e-brake insanity.

oh ok

Interesting. I'll have to check that out.

Yeah, I still had a warranty on a 15/16 BMC (free), altima rotors are $50, and I have a warranty on duralast gold rear pads until my Axxis Ultimate pads (front and rear) comes in. Just gotta get these damn rotors drilled. I'd prefer to use a press or get someone to do it for me...not having any luck though. Kinda surprising. I'd even pay :(

Right now: stock s13 BMC + q45 fronts + stock s13 rear + SS lines all around :(

[Memme]

Yeah, I have Q front, stock S14 rear... 5 lug though... so this would be simple for me.

Except for that one rear 17mm bracket bolt with the head broken off!

That's not going to be pretty... drill-out/retap the hole, or replace the entire spindle... those are looking like the only options.

That's the only obstacle...

I wonder if there's any way someone could actually drill into the bolt and get it out...

ouch....yeah, easy if you're already 5-lug. I was going to try and just do a 5-lug swap (just buy 5-lug hubs) at the same time, but funds aren't allowing for it. I'm lazy, I want the easiest possible method of 5-lug swapping. Hell, I might just run the upgraded BMC for a while to fix this shitty brake bias setup until I can do my 5-lug swap at the same time....hmm...

Will the BMC allow you to adjust the bias?

I haven't had any problems with my Q brakes... the E-brake will not lock though... not even close. It drops the car down a bit when I yank it, but that's about it... not that I use it much, but just testing it after I replaced the pads. They didn't do much.

IDK about you with the S13, but I managed to get my 5 lug conversion for $100 rear, $150 front, shipped. So that was not too bad at all... you'd need spindles though.

[homeslicej2]

Neejay, what brand of SS lines do you have and id you have any issue installing them?

I'm lazy. I'll probably just find some z32 rear hubs and buy front conversion hubs. lol

I have the SPL ones, with no problems.

[Spyder]

Stop bitchin, you know I can do it. :) I literally just did my altima rears 3 days ago. Make some time and come over this way, the conversion take minutes all I can suggest is make sure the z31 brackets are clean as hell and that you have the slides have new lube on them so everything moves happily.

Juicy terry sportswear brand is started by juicy couture tracksuit (http://www.juicycouture2u.com/), so towel material is essential, this juicy couture outlet (http://www.juicycouture2u.com/) also came to a Beachwear version of juicy couture bags (http://www.juicycouture2u.com/) towel series, such as the style may gowns hooded beach skirts and juicy couture shoes (http://www.juicycouture2u.com/) drawstring shorts, granted, there are beach necessary towel cloth juicy couture watch (http://www.juicycouture2u.com/) and sun caps.

My schedule is crazy, especially with classes starting back...I think I'll just attempt myself. Buy a 1/2 titanium drill bit and go at it.

And thanks for the advice, I'll remember the lube/grease. :cheers:

[Domkk333]

you can do it yourself or any car shop should be able to do it

[Elizabeth Reed]

Sooo, do I have to use the Z31 slides? Are they longer I guess? I have everything but the rotors for the setup now :D

All you need are the brackets and rotors. Stock calipers and pads though.

[Drifting Kalamari]

^^Sounds good!!

[Neejay]

any machine shop can do it.
possibly (except the one I called said they couldn't), but are they all competent?

I was looking for someone on here that has done it before or knows someone who can do it, guaranteed.

And I could drop them off with someone during lunch hours during the week, or Thursday/Friday after 4pm, or anytime Saturday or Sunday

^^Neejay, let me know if you find anyone, because I'll do the same with you if that's okay. I have everything but my rotors are still 5X114.3.

[smokin18]

im gettin ready to do two complete sets of rotors. one set for me and a spare set

[Drifting Kalamari]

^^could you do mine?

[smokin18]

ill let ya know asap. i have the set up and i want to do mine first. dont want to mess up on somebody elses stuff

[SoSlowS13]

I always just use an old 4 lug hub and knock out 3 of the studs. Perfect template and use a 1/2inch drill bit.
