Nope.. I have 20 sets of brackets for 3/4 gens and another 20 sets for 5th gens..

 

Yup..me to bro im in for it

 

Update! Install is done. Brackets fit PERFECT. Pics are here:

Rear dust shields were cut down. ie.. lip was cut off with a 4" grinder/cutter. Easy to do. Also you might have to retract the rear caliper piston just a tad to get the pads over the new rotors. But other than that, it's a very easy install.
You can see the ss lines also.

 

ok....where to send the $$ for the brackets??? front and rear, like i said b4.

BRian

 

Payment received. I brought the both brackets to work. With luck they will ship today via usps priority (2-3 service)

For those of you (MrGonads) who were curious to know if this setup will fit under the stock 15" wheels.....well I don't know .
But the brackets move the caliper out approx 0.75-1" more. If you have that much clearance inbetween the top of the caliper and wheel, it should fit.

 

Question about the Front/rear bias.... if i put the rears on first....do you think that would make much difference? or should i definitely do the fronts first?

Brian

 

We suspect doing the rears will be fine but you WILL have increased bias in the rears. I officially "don't" recommend it.

 

Good morning fellas (5:30am)

Since Jeff's rear bracket are now available I can answer two questions that has come up

Q)Will these rear brakes fit under the OEM 15" wheels
A)Yes they can, but

Q)Is there a concern with rear brake bias
A)Yes you will definately have rear brake bias under certain conditions (more on that later)


I've been fortunate enough to have been rolling with these larger rear brakes for a couple weeks now. As mentioned the stock 15" wheels can fit over these brakes BUT you will have to shave the calipers. I used a big ase portable industrial grinder we have here at work to shave my calipers. This was cool because I didn't have to disconnect the calipers in order to shave them. I would think a stone bench grinder could also work but that will require you to disconnect the calipers and bleeding the hyd system after wards. The amount of material that was shaved off was very minimal and will NOT effect the structual rigidity of the calipers. I would suspect 16" wheels should clear without a problem without the need to shave.

For the brake bias concern, you will definately have brake bias under emergency hard stoping conditions. All other braking conditions will not be effected, with brake bias that is. Keep in mind I still have the OEM front brakes. To see if added weight in the rear end will effect the brake bias I tested the rear brakes with full, 1/2 and a empty tank of gas. Regardless of the amount of fuel the rear brakes will tend to lock-up under hard braking. All my brake testing was done at 45-0 mph on dry pavement. I wouldn't even bother try testing on wet pavement, it would have been a mess Here's the situation you have to be concerned about. In order not to lock-up the rear brakes under hard emergency stoping you have to become one with your rear brakes, you have to modulate your brake pedal accordingly in order not to lock the rear. Especially for those with non ABS like me.

Please keep in mind I'm NOT saying your rear brakes will be locking up all the time, just wanted to make that clear. I am saying with OEM front brakes and these brakes you have to be a little bit more intune with your rear brakes in order not to lock them up when you need them the most (right before re-ending the car in front of you) We all know when your brakes are locked up your stopping distance increase

The over haul stoping performance with these brake alone are pretty good and makes a difference. At this time I can't comment on what the braking would be like with both front and rear BBK's but I can only imagine it being a good thing.

BTW I started typing this at 5:30am and wasn't able to click submit reply untill 7:25am due to all the interruptions here at work. Don't they know we surf and work and to leave me alone

 

Jeff/Candiman...
Looks really good. Can someone please take some pics with wheels mounted?

Jeff,
Please PM me mailing info. Thanks.

 

Update. Car hauls down like a ***** now. With the front BBK only, it would sorta push everything on the front end. Now the car stays more "planted" when the brakes are applied. Have to make more time for some serious braking tests but I'm 100% satisfied with this.

 

Your order was shipped today.

 

Seamax and CRSmax have said they would send the $ via mail so I'm reserving 2 sets for them. That leaves one set left for this batch. Speak up now if you want the last one.

 

You got PM

 

Cool. Seamax and CRSmax, drop me a line to confirm. I'll hold these brackets for maybe 1 more week. After that, it's 1st come, 1st served.

If you can confirm that the check is in the mail, then let me know. Thanks.

 

*cough* 5th gen.

 

Haha. Probably not in the near future sorry.

 

Damn... I didn't even know you had sent that message Jeff. I just found out the ORG was back up today. Anyway, I might be able to send payment out on the 30th, but if you've already let the last pairs go, then I will wait for the next set. Not trying to hold you up. Let me know. Thanks.

 

I still have a pair reserved for ya

And given the lackluster interest, there may not be another batch made. These things work great.

 

Cool. Well you'll definately get my business... don't know why there's lackluster interest... but all the same good stuff

 

I gotta finish one project car at a time.
when I finish the camaro, I'll be upgrading the max's brakes.
Sadly that's a while off

 

i just pmed you about that last set if you still have it i will take it

 

Update. I just received payment from Seamax. That was the last set I had. I can make more. BUT, I will need prepayment from about 3-5 people first.

 

Anyone else want a set? I have one person interested. 1-2 more would justify me having another run made.

 

Yeah, I want a set of the rear brackets. Being that I'm to lazy to read it again, All I would need is a set of 86' rotors off the 300z right, correct me if im wrong, and just tell me where to send the money, oh, and how much. thats only if your goin to get another set made.

 

Ok I have a 90 GXE and the production date is 9/89. The rear brakes are drums. So if wanna do the BBK I will have to do the rear disc conversion first?????

So EXACTLY WHAT DO I NEED, to get this to work??? I'll still need a caliper mounting bracket since my cars not an SE????
And if I want I can later on get the Z32 30mm calipers like Jeff has right....Did you do all 4 Z32 calipers or just the front...
And NONE of this will have any interfering with the wheel clearance with my stock 15's or 5th/6th gen 17's??

What else.........all efforts/comments appreciated..

 

You can do a rear disc conversion the same time you install the larger rear brakes. Since you have rear drums you will need
1)Jeff's bracket
2)Rear calipers from a 92-94 SE
3)Parking brake cables from a 92-94 SE

Since I was the one who mentioned these larger rear brakes will fit under the OEM 15" wheels (if you grind the calipers) lets not confuse the front with the rear when it comes to wheel clearnace.

My decision on whether to have more made depends on how serious you are. Let me know. I think it will take about two weeks. All you need are my brackets and the rotors you mention. But you do have to retract the piston in the caliper and cut off or bend the splash shield (which took 5 min ea with a 4" grinder/cutter)

 

Hi Jeff. I would have ordered these sooner but I have been in China on vacation. Count me in on the second batch!

 

Well, I'm very serious. My current rear rotors look like something like a classic record with all the grooves in them. I just changed the pads last week so I know I have to retract (clamp) the piston, thats easy. I figure I just ordered Matts Front set up, might as well hold out on changing the rear abd do the rear BB to!

 

Okay, I'll order them up today. Will advise on eta later.

 

Did you happen to get the email I sent you? Well it was just saying tell me when to paypal you the money.

 

I have about 3 guys intererested. Paypal $70 to Jeff_Iwata@yahoo.com. Let me know who you are, what you want and where to send. Expect the fabbing to take a few weeks.

 

Ok so I want to send the money a week in advance so could you please let me know about a week before the brackets are done? Thanks a lot!

-Larry

 

Um, now. I got 5 sets made. I have read though pm/emails/this post about 3-4 interested parties. If you want to run the risk of being left out..................

 

You got PM! Well and a paypal payment

 

Jeff, where did you go?

 

I'm scamming you for all you got!

I got your payment Larry. Just I didn't know Cheocwa = Larry. People often forget to mention their real name and screen name. The brackets aren't ready yet. But rest assured I'll push them tomorrow.

 

YAY!!!! Sorry about that, and thank you

 

Jeff, did you get my payment, I think I left my real name, if not Jonathan!
