fairladyz2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi Just received some brake discs for my zed today and upon looking at it, it doesn't have that hole for the stud/bolt to go on and mount the disc . Is this normal or non compatible ? - Image 1 is the one I have bought (5 holes) -image to is the one that's meant to be on car (5 holes + 1) Thanks for any advice in advance .

rabbitstew Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 That should be fine. The wheel nuts will hold it all together anyway. Ive had no end of cars where people have snapped the bolt off and they have been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Doesn't really make much difference. I would check they are the correct size discs for the car as its pretty odd they haven't come with them Could be JDM brake disc instead of Brembo. JDM- front 296mmx24mm rear 293mmx16mm Brembo 324mmx30mm 322x22mm Edited September 12, 2013 by peteman35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 As others have said, it will be fine without them. I removed them when I fitted spacers and have not had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 You can fit them but why isnt the hole there if they are correct for the car. Too many people put up with incorrect parts when they should complain. If they came from nissan like that you`d take them back......think about it mate.

KyleR Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Not all car manufactures use the stud bolts, they're pretty pointless really as they're only to prevent you placing the rear wheels on the front, which is easily preventable by actually looking at the tyre. Most people also remove them because they don't fit with after market rims. If the disks are the right sizes mentioned a few posts ago then they are fine.

fairladyz2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Thanks for the advice ppl was worried whether they'll be safe to fit without that extra stud holding them on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteman35 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The extra stud is just a wheel stop to stop you putting the rear wheels on the front. it does nothing apart from that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyZed Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The extra stud is just a wheel stop to stop you putting the rear wheels on the front. it does nothing apart from that +1 it has nothing to do with holding the disc in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 As Peteman says its to stop tyrefitters from fitting the wheels the wrong way round as the rears are a half inch wider than the fronts on the GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Bin the stud bolt. It's just extra weight in the worst possible place. Yes, I know it only weighs a gnat's c*ck, but I'm still right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My breaker bar is too long to fit in. It's not budging left or right 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Mine wasn't actually a breaker bar, I just call it that, it's basically a pipe, but it fits at a good angle onto the end of my small 1/4" ratchet perfectly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
