You get Z32 rotors and have them redrilled for 4 lug. That's it.

Good luck in redrill it yourself very hard...

take it to a professional $10 dollar per rotor.

re-drilling a rotor is super easy. you don't know what you're talking about.

Drill press, old rotor, and a 9/16" drill bit. It's not rocket science. Even some of the idiots on this forum could do it.

Or you could use Sentra SER rotors. Already 4 lug.

are these the same diameter and thickness as the Z32's?

IIRC, the SE-R rotors are only 22mm thick.

I thought that worked when you were using 26mm Z32 calipers, and isn't so great when using 30mm units.

why redrill when you can just buy rotors that are already 4 lug?

Costs less in most cases. You're talking to 240SX owners remember. Cheap = good.

What I did when I redrilled mine was got a 1/2" or 9/16" drill bit, a 1/2" grade 8 bolt with a good size shank. The shank fit very tight in the to hole that lines up in the 4 lug and 5 lug rotor. I butted the rotors up. Installed the bolt (you will probably have to get some washers to cover up some of the shank so the nut will torque) . Then I aligned the center bores (I believed they are the EXACT same size). I torqued down the bolt. Then using a drill press I drilled the other 3 holes (using the 4 lug rotor as my guide) into the 5 lug rotor. They came out perfect.
