Question on 300ZX brake conversion ->
#1
My front rotors are beginning to warp and need to be replaced. I can get a used 300ZX brake conversion kit, but I'm not sure if they'll fit inside my 16" OZ Monte Carlo wheels. Can anyone help?
Here is a link to these wheels on TireRack FWIW: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...Silver+Painted

Monsoon's definitely won't fit, assuming they're as close a clone to the Volk Racing AV3 as I think they are. Homie97SE has 18" AV3's with a +43mm offset and there's no clearance for wider calipers--- even with a +35mm offset there wouldn't be enough clear.
Your OZ wheels... hmm... go check??

Might be a tad expensive, but...
You can try the Volk Racing TE-37 wheels. I can't remember what brake package it was, but SCC used a huge(as big as the Z's if not bigger) rotor and caliper setup on their project 200SX, and had more than enough room. And this was with 15s! But of course, at $300 per wheel, they'd better fit...

Jim, a sale is Pending on my on the Z brakes..
but if you do happen to find out that they fit,
i have a friend with another set of calipers/rotors that have not yet been milled down...
just to let your hopes afloat.

Re: I'm just curious.... what is rotor wharping?
The brake rotor is a disc, when the rotor warps the disc is no longer "flat" per se. This can be the result of a number of things. An old gf's car had a car with warped rotors that she inherited from her grandma who was a two foot driver. (Worked gas and brake with different feet)
People with automatics who use brake torquing (apply brake while revving engine in D) to increase their off the line performance also run the chance of doing this.
Symptoms are usually a shuddering of the car when applying the brakes. It's a pretty obvious condition.

Hey John C..
Try Dynamic Autosports. I can't recall the website addy offhand, but they usually have an ad in Turbo Magazine. Keep in mind this is prob'ly for 15s, since they said 'starting at $300.' Generation Performance also had a wheels and tire package with 15s for something in the $1500 range. I think their address is www.gpi.com.
There's a lot of clone wheels out there with the same spoke design and therefore, at least similar caliper coverage. It's a good alternative for those like me who'd rather spend the cash on power-adders.
