Caphel Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hello All. I have been looking to get a 350Z and have been looking around for a few weeks now. At the moment I am struggling to find the right car. Just found another one, but does this look like a cracked disc? Is this a common problem? I think I might just skip straight past this car.

newkid Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Dont think its a cracked disc and if it was it wouldnt put me off buying a car. Replacements discs are not overly expensive and they are a wear and tear item. If the car is otherwise spot on then use the disc to haggle the price down and you have yourself a nice ride at a good price for the sake of replacing a disc !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Could easily be a cracked disc by the way it looks on the pic, however once you can check it yourself, it will be another bargaining tool, its easy to replace a pair of disc's, and if you factor in the charges you could argue that its going to cost a good £300 for parts and labor.

Caphel Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 OK, I may go and have a look at this car after all. If it is a cracked disc, is that likely to have been caused by some extreme braking? I get the feeling this car may not have had a particularly easy life.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Just because it has a cracked disc, doesn't necessarily mean that its had a hard life. By the look of it it could easily be from a stress mark in the casting, if it was due to disc's getting very hot, it would likely have lots of small cracks, even so its not a great cause for concern.

Grundy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Could it not just be dirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 doesn't look like a crack to me, as CS said possibly a pad print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 doesn't look like a crack to me, as CS said possibly a pad print +1 - can be checked by turning the wheel slightly to see the full impression of the pad of just do a little drive and and slow to a stop without using the brakes and check then.
