300ZX calipers

i have seen a couple people that have 300ZX calipers on their cars....i have no clue on how they help out the max, but here are a couple questions...can you use a junk yard one???? or must you get them new, if so, what years will fit the max, and do you need new rotors also????? i was thinking about this little "upgrade" if it really helped. i am sorry if this was discussed alot before, but i am kinda interested in doing this, well at least if it helps the stopping power.


ohh and please dont just lock this if it is a stupid question....i have no clue, anyone??

You can also use them in he sotck location and have 300zx rotors turned down to fit in,At least that is how I understood it when there was a fellow talking about using them.

As far as helping you go from a single piston to a 4 piston performance caliper,more stopping power with alot better feel.

As far as what you need depends on what route,if it is big brake kit you need brackets,rotors,calipers,wheels to clear the brakes.For BBK there is also 2 routes the jeff route (cobra rotors) or the blehmco route (new maxima rotors)

I said route alot

Well if you can't spare $25 to search, I highly advise AGAINST doing a 300z caliper swap of any sort.

You can tie the paypal to your checking account. You could probably mail the donation in? I dunno.

Sheeshes! I have to chuckle at you a bit. You have any currency?? You know like money? I guess Sprint might accept 25 beaded necklaces, 3 brown bear skins and 2 bottles of whiskey.

get a checking account man, it's very convenient later down the road, plus it's free. When you need to make purchases on the internet, you will thank yourself.

dude i had a checking account when i was 14. dad co-signed, but it was mine....if you cant get a checking account, its because you might need someone(parent) to help you. just go to a bank and they can help you.

16 is the minimum age, and if you got something like 50 bucks, you should be fine.

Not working for the bank or anything, but commerce offer the best customer service that I've seen so far, and they take care of you man, I really like their customer service.

Why don't you hand your parents $25 and tell them to donate in your name....if you explain what its for, I think they'd understand.....no need to keep making excuses.
