go to nissan and get all the parts new. you will need
2 retaining nuts , 2 locking washers , 4 locking screws
takes about 10 minutes to do each side.
it is worth the time IMO

i tighten them up as tight as i can get them , and constantly rotate the disk at the same time. you will find you will need to back it of a little to get the screws to line up. i have never had one come loose.
