After long hrs of hard work with trial and errors, finally Richard (Mr****s_95se) and myself were able to complete this job! It was frustrating at times but in the end, it was all worth it!

My Maxima brakes wayyyy better now!!! I feel so much safer in braking that instead of worrying about myself rear-ending someone, now im worried that someone will rear end me instead.
Well here are some pics of the BBK and thanx for all those who answered any of the questions that i had while installing these!

 

 

Nice work!

 

daaaaaaaamn

 

good job. look foward to seeing you at the maxima meet and the car this sat.

 

looks good, looks great...i jus got me a pair of 300zx calipers and am planning on doing the same thing. what exactly did you purchase entirely, did you need somr kind of relocating bracket like the one blemco sells?

what kind of brake pads ar you using, rotors, SS lines...

sorry, i jus wanted to get as much info off of you as i can :-)

i told u before, ill tell u again....ur max looks nice as hell man.

 

haha, thanx bro, but there are alot better ones out there too.
pm me with any questions you may have, and ill let you know everything there is to know on doing these brakes.

 

that looks awesome. Maybe someday, I'll do this, but i would need NEW rims, noway the stockies will clear those calipers. Nice job man

 

was it hard? im doing mine soon, im just waiting on some rotors

 

how about a review?

 

PETE, why you gotta be doin this to me? Now I'm jealous.....but just wait till you see my car in a few weeks....

Dan

 

Review.....Its GREAT! i wonder why people dont do this, its a great safety mod and you will be very pleased! i can honestly say that its way worth it!

 

It looks great, hopefully in the future i will do this

 

that's dope good work Maximus. you need to do a writeup.

 

i will do a write up on my cardomain in about a week when i get the time.
The true write up! well.....same as the other ones.

 

what kind of paint did you use on your brakes? Did it ever fade before because of the heat?

 

yeah peter that was pretty frustrating in the beginning. but we got it done pretty quick and dang that thing stops on a freakin dime. im so jealous... not as jealous as goaliekeg lol but man its so nice. its worth it any day over stock brakes. see ya this saturday.

 

If you have another 10mm of clearance inbetween the caliper/wheel spoke, you can upgrade to the 13" cobra rotors at any time. I have the brackets in stock if you want them

 

The 13" cobra setup with your brackets won't clear a 300zx rim will it?

 

Nope........17" is the bare min

 

I was thinking that. Darnit.

 

jeff92se, thanx for the offer, but i already have them in my garage.

 

Soon I'll have Jeffs BB brakets for the ZX cals, how big can I go I want to go as big as possible 13" or more what are my options? I have 18" rims.

 

Looks good man, I thought u got rid of the stillen kit!

 

will the 300zx calipers and the big cobra rotor fit under 2000 se 17 inch rims?

 

simply put....NO!

 

what pads did you end up using?

 

pads, i forgot, made in Italy i think, ceramic.

 

Dang man, i decided to keep my car till the end, just cant part with it, so im modding it back up again!
just gotta go buy myself a daily driver now.

 

1. Whats the alternative to 13" cobra rotors?

2. With Jeffs bracket can I go bigger than 13" or do I have to make my own?

3. Does anyone have pictures comparing the two 11" to 13" . Is 13" big enough or can I go bigger I want to fill up my 18" s ?

 

Are these 17's?



What do you think of the caliper ontop?




I need pics with them on 18's>>>>.

 

Wait I just thaught about it if I get anything bigger than 13" then I wont be able to throw on my 17" drags when I hit the track. Or I can just simply swap them out to factory cals, to much hassle forget the whole Idea. But does anyone have 18" s with ZX cals I would like to campare them to 17' s.?

 

I know you saved money by DYI, but what did the cost of the parts run you?

 

jblinga does with stock 300zx rotors not 13", page 1 on this thread

 

No you can't go bigger than 13" with the brackets, besides that's huge! Check Jeff92se home page

 

jbling those rotors look really small, this is exactly what I'm trying to avoid with my 18's.


Has anyone here put anything bigger than 13" are cobra rotors our only option?

 

My brackets ONLY allow for a 13" Cobra rotor. 17" rims are the bare min for diameter. Width is the killer. The 300z calipers are very wide because they are 4 piston calipers.

So although the 17" maxima wheels are BIG enough. They don't allow nearly the room width-wise to clear the spokes. Your best best for oem nissan wheels are some of the G35 or 350z wheels.

 

Great job on a very useful mod, One of the nicest Sage A32's I've ever seen.

 

Thanx meng.

either way....who cares if the rotor will fill the whole, as long as you can stop in time its all worth it.

 

So only cobra rotors, can I get an alternate 13" rotor brembo etc...
