This is some general caliper info...not maxima swap specific.

Im going to do this conversion so I'm looking for all info.

I thought this would help explain the difference in the aluminum and iron calipers.....rotor thickness.....etc

PDM Racing.....Mostly for 240/Sylvia 300ZX brake coversion.....but you could buy the necessary parts here too I suppose.

Another page..........its a Sylvia.........but again more info and good part numbers......There is also a link on this page detailing how to change out the pads on 300ZX calipers......

Here is a page detailing the 3000 GT VR-4 12.?? inch Rotor upgrade that can be done to ZX's........which will work on a Maxima as well. (providing you have wheel clearance for the larger diameter setup) Seems like alot of money for two brackets and some bolts and washers....

Hopefully these kind folks dont get PO'd at me whorin they're links!

 

thank you aaron



are ss brake lines have a different connector to the caliper..correct?


i will take pics tonight of our ss brake lines (sine i have a compete set sitting in my basement)

 

From what I understand our calipers use the banjo style fitting which will work with the 300ZX calipers......but Ive read a couple of places that using actual 300ZX lines is better. They actually have a flared fitting that threads right into the caliper.

Could someone put this in the FAQ?

 

Added more links to more good info.....

More part #'s.....

More Pics.....

And a page detailing how to change the pads out on ZX calipers....

 

 

I'm just trying to get as much info together so when someone asks...

"Will 300ZX calipers work.......yada yada yada"

They will have a crap load of info available..........providing they use the search......

 

You know Jeff............you could add on to this when you try the ZX rear calipers.........since you have them............everything mounts the same right........its just a E-brake cable issue right......I do work Sheet Metal....and hand in hand with a Machine Shop.....(who will be the ones milling 3mm off my ZX rotors when I get em )

 

once again...




once i try those rear calipers i will let everyone know... and you know this man...

 

some one is "supposidly" going to make a bracket cheaper.. *cough.. Matthel Ma...*cough.. cough

 

Hehe.....I read that too.......That'd be sweet if he did. 3000GT rotors would be cool.....I'm trying to stay as stock/sleeper/stealth looking as I can. They might could be crammed under 16's

 

 

yes, that would be nice.. and BTW your e-mails keep coming back to me with no response..

 

Probably McGuire's crappy server...........Im surprised it hasnt gone down. I think its a 486 DX............12meg of RAM......

But they got Flat Screens!!

 

Sticky this?


Maybe??

 

Yeah its a very good writeup.

 

Tomorrow I will get some more brake part cleaner (ran out) and clean and remove the pistons and other hardware and take pics.....

I'll include that in this post as well
