Need OEM 10" front rotors for 2002 GXE

This weekend I decided to do the brakes on my wife's car. I have the pads but needed rotors. Picked up at parts place. I wasn't sure of engine size so I guessed (first mistake). Came home, pulled car apart, wrong size. Checked engine (1.8) and took rotors back. They didn't have the size I needed. Went to second store. I knew the correct engine info so I got the rotors and left. I should have brought old rotor with me (second mistake). Of course it didn't fit. Took rotors back along with one of the old rotors. Their computer says I have 11" rotors on my car but I have 10". They can't help me. Go to third store same story. It is 5pm Sunday night so now everything is closed. Put car back together with old rotors and pads.

I called another place yesterday. They said they got rotors for my car. I ask the guy to measure them and of course they are 11". Nissan dealer wants $80 each for rotors. I didn't bother asking what size they were.

Is there another Nissan car model that has the same 10" brakes? This way the parts store can find the correct rotor in their computer? Perhaps an older sentra? I don't want to pay nissan for the rotors. My wife just wants the car to stop pulsating can I get them at a decent price?

Bodiby,

I don't know if this will help but i saw it on the SE-R.net.

What type of brake pads should I buy?

Repco (now Axxis) Metalmasters. They are $45/front and $35/rear fron Strano's. If you're not that picky you could get the OE pads, but the Repcos are hardly more expensive (if at all), and I'd get them anyway.


Hope that helps. By the way I need to do the same thing with my wife's Sentra. How hard was it to remove the rotors?

Thanks,
Ken

Man, I know the luck you're talking about. I went to buy a power steering hose and they tried to sell me a pressure hose for a buick century, even after I made it well known what I wanted he still tried to sell me a high pressure hose.

I would go to Nissan and get the part # for your brakes, then take it to the parts store and see if they can find the parts for you.

The ending to my story, ended up buying the power steering hose from Nissan. The damn thing was $80 for an all rubber hose.

I hope you have better luck.
