New rotors smaller then OEM ones!! CRAP!!
i just got some DBA rotors for my car. i have an 06 Coupe 6MT. I started in the back, and when i put the new rotors on, it was smaller then my stock ones! i was like, WTF?!?! so, i check online and the Rotor i have appears to be for an 1/02-8/02 w/o Dynamic Control System and Coupe - w/ A/T. I have part# 574*.
i'm kinda pissed off cause i told them i had an 06 and if the rotor sized changed and if it would be a problem. they said no, the rotors are the same.
for the 06 guys, do we share the same brake size with the 06-07 350z?? cause if we do, these rotors are DEF wrong!
i'm going to canada on the 16 and wanted to get my brakes done for the shannonville track! crap!!!
can i use these rotors? or am i f'ed?? i'd have to get my oem ones turned cause we hammered them pretty good to get them off.
my fronts are already starting to warp and i dont want to use them on the track. this is SOOOO the ghey... ![Mad](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
EDIT: i just remembered that the stillen rotors are just rebadged DBA's, so i went to the site and found this:
NIS3801S / NIS3801S - Application Notes
2005-2007 Infiniti G35 RWD exc. G35S
2006-2007 Infiniti G35 AWD
2006-2007 Infiniti M35
2006-2007 Infiniti M45
2006-2008 Nissan 350Z w/Std. Brakes
SO, i def got the wrong rotors. i SHOULD have gotten:
FRONT:
4000 Series: 42308*
REAR:
Standard: 2309* or
4000 Series: 42309*
FOCK!!!!

Did you buy these from Stillen? I know that do in fact rebadge the DBA rotors (which you said). Although I've never bought anything from Stillen this does surprise me since they are Nissan "experts" (not my opinion, they seem to come off that way). Just about anyone on the forum could tell you that the 05+ brakes increased in size. Hope everything works out for you.

I got them from a forum sponsor and the guys seemed pretty kewl. I left them some messages and sent a PM and hope to hear from them soon. I understand mistakes WILL happen every once and a while, so I hope this will be resolved quickly and appropriately. It just sucks because I have my car on jack stands and I can't drive it, but most of all, I'm driving to Canada next week. My fault for waiting so long to put them on, but since I got married, I seem to have lost all my previous free time!! GAH!
Hope I'll be on the road next week! I'm gonna have to check the part number on my Hawk Pads when I get home too. They SHOULD be F: HB387F.547, R: HB370F.559. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.

I've got the same problem.. I just order a set from a forum sponsor... No animosity towards them by any means. I sent them an email to try and get the correct size. I checked the fronts and the rears, both were to small,but the pads looked the same. Hopefully I can get it resolved and installed before I head on vacation next weekend. These guys got the parts to me in a day and were very helpful. Now just got to get teh bigger sized rotors...
