SVX Rotor Dimensions
Does anyone have the SVX rotor dimensions?
I'm looking for the distance from wheel mounting surface to the rotor surface, thickness of the rotor, and the diameter. Someone from here or at the Yahooligans a while back mentioned that dimensionally the 300ZX rotors and the SVX rotors are the same size. I have access to the dimensions of all the Brembo rotors, and would like to find out whether they have anything that will work on the SVX or not, since I'm looking into a new pair of front rotors. Right now, my choices are: OE - $110/ea Aimco from Autozone - $61/ea Raybestos - $95/ea ART Cryo Treated Slotted - $275/pair (I think that's the approx price w/o the pads) Motorsport Warehouse Drilled/Slotted - $200/ea Brembo - $??? (if it fits) Cryo-Treating them in Toronto - $2.93CDN/pound VK |

are you going "BIG"?
I've got my old rotors sitting in a box in my closet. I replaced them due to pulsing, and kept them to send to AP Racing for machining of hats for an oversize kit (I'm designing a mount for Porsche GT2 380x32mm rotors and Movit six-piston calipers up front). I don't have a mic, so the measurements I give you will only be accurate to +/- .5 mm or so. If that resolution is OK, let me know and I can pull them out and give you complete specs tonite.

Yeah, that'd be great!
At this point, I'm looking for approximate measurements, and see if there's anything close to fitting the SVX. If there's something similar, I'm willing to order it and try it on. VK |

Yeah I have my old ones I replaced 2 weeks ago as well. Same deal though, won't be very accurate but I can get you a close guess. If there are no posts tomorrow, I will post mine up.

OK, these are the dimensions for the 300ZX rotors from the Brembo book(1990 and later):
Rotor Diameter - 280mm Rotor Braking Surface Thickness - 30mm Rotor Total Thickness - 53.7mm Centering Hole Diameter - 68mm For the 87-89 300ZX: Rotor Diameter - 280mm Rotor Braking Surface Thickness - 26mm Rotor Total Thickness - 57.2mm Centering Hole Diameter - 68mm I hope one of these will match what's on the SVX... |

Here was another question...
are you sure that 300ZX rotors have the exact same bolt pattern? Seems to be that Nissan/Datsun's didn't come with the same type...although I could be wrong.
I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that it is a stadard 5X100(mm) bolt pattern. Not sure what that work's out to in inches, hey I'm Canadian to eh! Also is there any reason you are so deadset on Brembo? I must admit they make some fantastic rotors, but will you really see a difference? I bought mine from JC Sports, and so far have loved them. They are stock rotors, except they drill and slot them. They also cadmium dip them so they won't rust. They cost me $210 (US), about half what Motorsport Warehouse or ART wanted. I would check again on your price from ART they quoted me $352 plus an EXTRA $65 for pads. So roughly $425. Either way, it's worth looking at. I love the best stuff to, but I'm also not taking my car to the track either. Mine will serve their purpose. Ryan

SVX rotor specs
overall rotor diamater
297mm outboard hat face to outboard rotor face depth 30mm hat diamater 157mm hub bore diamater (size of the hole that center the rotor on the hub) 57mm hat depth (thickness of metal) 7mm rotor and hat depth (thickness from backside of rotor to hub mounting face of hat) 57mm disc thickness (two friction disks separated by the 13mm thick vanes make the overall rotor thickness) 7mm overall rotor thickness 27mm I know my description is kinda confusing, I'll provide an illustration when I get back from travel next week. BTW- The SVX, 300ZX and almost all other cars on the road today share a bolt circle of 5x114.3mm. This size was made so popular by the Japanese in the 70's and 80's that American and European automakers simply followed suit. As a rule of thumb, any passenger car you come across with 5 lugs will have this bolt pattern. |

Hmm I always thought it was 100mm...good to know.
Thanks, Ryan

Re: SVX rotor specs
Except for Subaru, of course. Other than the SVX, I think all the other 5 lugs on any Subaru is a 5x100.
I have a '00 Legacy that won't share rims with my SVX. VK Quote:

With ART, you have to mention the Yahooligans SVX club to get their preferred pricing. I still have the quote in my e-mail from last week from them for $345US w/pads for the front. I don't drive the car particularly hard, so really I don't have to have the Brembo's. I am however very concerned with warped rotors. I remember with my '86 Volvo 740 that the rotors would warp every 1/2 year, and it just gets VERY annoying. I'd figure if I can get Brembo's, they're *probably* better quality than the Aimco's. I'm also trying to get a quote for Euro Rotors as well, but I hear they're pricey (but still not what the dealer wants for them). So now that Brembo is out of the picture (they aren't the right size), I guess I'll ponder whether to get the JC Sports ones, or the Aimco ones and Cryo-Treat them before mounting, unless of course the Euro Rotors comes back with a good price. I'm a little unsure about slotted rotors though. A few people tell me they chew through the brake pads like there's no tomorrow. Anyone with experience care to share their findings? VK |
