The drum-in-hat type rotor integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor assembly, compatible with vehicles requiring this configuration. With a 5-bolt mounting pattern and a mounting bolt hole circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.300 mm), it matches factory specifications for the listed INFINITI and Nissan models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rotor's nominal thickness is 0.787 inches (20.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.709 inches (18.000 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. The coated surface protects against rust and corrosion, helping to maintain rotor integrity over time. The smooth surface type ensures even pad wear and consistent braking feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eElement3; Coated Rotor Product Line Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on combining corrosion resistance with reliable braking performance. The coating applied to this rotor helps prevent rust buildup, which can affect rotor balance and longevity. This product line is designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications, providing a direct replacement solution for vehicles like the INFINITI 350Z and Nissan 370Z that require vented, drum-in-hat rotors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing rotor corrosion that leads to uneven braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during aggressive driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper parking brake function in drum-in-hat rotor systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsuring correct fitment for INFINITI and Nissan models with 5-lug bolt patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below discard thickness of 0.709 inches (18.000 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris for proper rotor seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse proper torque specifications on the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck compatibility with vehicle’s parking brake system due to drum-in-hat design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos disc brake rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 980663FZN, are manufactured to meet stringent quality standards.
