I like to know.
are all cross drills holes point the same way on both side of the disk?
or is 1 side pointing forwards and other side pointing backwards like the images?
are there many designs?

From what I can remember, I've always seen the ventilation holes point towards the rear of the car (as shown in the second photo...)

why I say this cos the company that I got the disk from are not both pointing to the real.
I only found that out today.
I have been driving with them for 6 months now and nothing wrong so far.
will there be any thing wrong in the coming years.

Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first.

From Brembo's FAQ:
I saw a Nissan GTR over the weekend and the brake disk holes are same as my, so it must be a new design.
so what I think is the Disk company what to save cost
left is pointing to real
right is pointing to front
