Any way 2 know 4 sure the rotors I bought r what I thought I bought (OEM Infiniti)?

I don't see any markings on them. I was hoping to see a part number or something. I bought them from g35parts.com, aka everythingg35.com.
http://www.g35parts.com/G35-Front-Br...-xxxxx-v35.htm

40206-xxxxx-V35 Infiniti G35 Front Brake Rotor - OEM

They look like the ones in the picture but I wanna be sure. I will be replacing some crappy Chinese rotors I got from NAPA some months back. They at least had "Made in China" on the outer circumference of the rotors. (That's how I knew they were made in China.) But there appear to be no markings anywhere on these rotors I just got from G35parts.com

Somebody let me know. Somebody that doesn' work for G35parts.com!

I believe g35parts.com is an Infiniti dealer, so it should be OEM if they're advertising as OEM.

OEM rotors come in a box with the part numbers and the Nissan logo on them. If that helps any.

Thanks man. Yeah I have the boxes with the numbers on them. But I was just wary considering that they could basically charge me for one thing and send me garbage if they wanted. That'd be a great way to make some dough. If they were really doing that, I would guess that eventually when enough people complained about subpar performance, there would be some sort of backlash. I just wish there was someone who has bought OEM front Infiniti (or Nissan, I guess) rotors for the G35 03/04 sedan from www.g35parts.com who could tell me what markings and numbers there were on their rotors, if any.

I bought my F+R G37 rotors from them. The boxes were Nissan sealed so i would venture to guess they are legit. I do not recall seeing any markings on the rotors, however. I'll check my old G35 rotors to see if there are any on those.

By the way, G35parts.com is a.k.a. InfinitiPartsUSA.com a.k.a. EverythingNissan a.k.a. Infiniti of Scottsdale -- an actual dealership.

I bought my rears from them. They came in NISSAN boxes very clearly OE. Given that they advertise these as original OE parts I would be very surprised if they were not.

It wouldn't take much to put an off brand rotor in a Nissan box.
But I guess I will trust them. As long as I get a smooth stop from them, I guess it's all good. Now if I could just find time to put them on so that I can test them out before I've had them too long.

True and would also be highly illegal
A great plan for somebody willing to risk their business being serially violated by Nissan's lawyers and the federal government

Probably so, but i've dealt with that seller so many times and can vouch for the stuff.

Also, consider this, the way those boxes are sealed, you'd notice right away if they were tampered with.

Just curious, how bad were the Chinese NAPA rotors? And do you know who actually manufactured them?

I just ordered OEM rears from Infiniti Parts Online. Going to be awhile before I receive them as I am in Canada. But yeah, I decided to pay more for the OEMs then save now and end up spending more down the road.
