anyone make black brake rotors??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

jdizzy204 · 03-28-2007, 02:09 PM

kind of curious to see how they would look on a car and how they would hold up after a track day or two.

Brian · 03-28-2007, 02:13 PM

I think some of those project Mu ones are black or blackish.

Farzam · 03-28-2007, 02:14 PM

I don't see the point, and where in NC are you?

eastcoastS14 · 03-28-2007, 02:19 PM

why go black when you could go chrome?

CHROME FTW

cdlong · 03-28-2007, 02:21 PM

some have black coatings, but the part you see most easily, the braking surface, will rub off right away. you'll end up with a rotor with a black hat section. not bad, but not really worth a lot of effort.

PDM has them in black.

Wei240 · 03-28-2007, 02:23 PM

i think it'll be dope if the car is stealth mode, all black, limo tint, black rims, black rotors and paint the caliper black

How about just get a stock car with hubcaps and paint all that shit black.

Wei240 · 03-28-2007, 03:02 PM

i'm talking kgb style, not brokey broke steez,, lol

i've seen carbon material rotors advertised in a british racing performance mag about a year ago.

pretty worthless info, but if you can find a mag called automotive technology at the rack, you might still see them there.

too expensive to buy for looks.

That's the rotor hat, I think he wants it all black

I remember talking to some people at Powerslot a while ago, they said they could put a black or olive green coating over the actual rotor portion

But then once you actually apply brakes then bye bye finish

You can't have a black rotor, I don't think that's possible

jdizzy204 · 03-28-2007, 05:28 PM

im in wilmington nc

i figured any coating would go away after a few times braking hard but i figured id ask and see. i know people make calipers with black rotor hats but i was talking about the actual rotor surface. o well

phreze · 03-28-2007, 05:45 PM

Inless they find some sort of black metal alloy in outerspace and bring it back to make rotors, its no dice. Everything else is just a coating the rubs off after you break a few times. Maybe powdercoat it? Not sure how that would effect breaking performance though.

Think about what a powder coating is and how brakes work

GSXRJJordan · 03-28-2007, 06:19 PM

I've got it... you just put a little nozzle on there that resprays your rotors back to black right after the caliper. Sure it gets worn off, but then it's back!

/inventor

The only flash your rotors need are some slots.

Or just get some REALLY REALLY DUSTY PADS

Or a lot of Sharpies

ixfxi · 03-28-2007, 06:35 PM

isnt that a bit racialist?

jdizzy204 · 03-28-2007, 07:15 PM

^^^^im black mo fugga^^^^ and so is my s13

kouki_s14 · 03-28-2007, 07:19 PM

ATS Across/Carbonetics Carbon composite brake rotors

If your asking how they look and whether or not they hold up on a track, you probably can't afford them
Not that any of us really can

**mrmephistopheles** · 03-28-2007, 07:23 PM

I had a friend who decided to paint his calipers black.

While they were still on the car.

Needless to say, his rotors were black for a little while.

Don't think I forgot, Greg!

projectRDM · 03-28-2007, 09:29 PM

You can paint them black and they'll stay like that forever. Just remove the brake line from the back of the caliper first.

initial_drifter · 03-28-2007, 11:53 PM

i forget which company it was but look up Black Zinc rotors and you should be able to find some

J.Silvia · 03-28-2007, 11:59 PM

all coatings wear off as soon as you hit the brakes so its a wastes of money. i guess if you really want dark colored rotors you can spend thousands off $$$ on carbon rotors

Ian · 03-29-2007, 04:59 PM
