Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial in regions with harsh weather conditions. This coating enhances the rotor's longevity while maintaining the performance characteristics expected from a vented disc brake rotor. The 981814FZN model incorporates these features to meet the braking demands of Nissan vehicles requiring reliable stopping power and durability.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that improves heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness is 0.630 inches (16.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.551 inches (14.000 mm), indicating when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor's outside diameter measures 11.480 inches (291.600 mm), and it has an overall height of 1.858 inches (47.200 mm). It includes five mounting bolt holes with a bolt circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) and a center hole diameter of 2.677 inches (68.000 mm). The smooth surface type ensures even pad wear and consistent braking response.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Nissan LEAF, Qashqai, Rogue, and Rogue Sport
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps eliminate brake pulsation due to rotor thickness variation
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage in humid or salty environments
• Improves braking consistency and heat management during regular driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.551 inches (14.000 mm) before installation. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating residue or contaminants that may affect brake pad contact. Verify the mounting bolt hole pattern matches the vehicle specifications, specifically five bolt holes with a 4.500 inch (114.300 mm) bolt circle diameter. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos manufactures the Element3; Coated Rotor 981814FZN to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The coating applied to the rotor surface provides additional protection against rust and corrosion, contributing to the rotor's service life. While specific warranty details are not provided here, Raybestos products typically come with a limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
