nice brake kit!

 

quick question which cobra rotors are used in this BBK front or back. The Baer's are only rear.

 

Wow, very nice!

 

yes, they are all 4 piston. However not all are the same width

1990 non turbo
26mm Aluminum caliper
280mm x 26mm rotor

1990 twin turbo and ALL 1991-1992.5
30mm Aluminum caliper
280mm x 30mm rotor.

1992.5-1996
30mm Iron calipers
280mm x 30mm rotor.

 

There are 4 piston 34mm Aluminum Calipers that came on BCNR32s in Japan. I almost got a set of those on accident from a friend of mine, they will bolt up just fine but they are designed for much thicker rotors. Try to avoid the cast IRON calipers, they are 2x as heavy as the Aluminum calipers.

yes the calipers are diffrent as my buddy here explained perfectly ,so what are they and where can i pick up the "famous bracket"

 

so the alluminum caliper form the 1990 tt are the best to go with?

 

supposedly nissan switched from aluminum to iron cause they had some structural problems with the aluminum ones. You should go with 1991-1992.5 aluminum ones instead of the 1990 ones.

the bracket has been mentioned several times already, it is made by jeff92se

 

I'm using Brembo Cross Drilled Slotted. I kind of regret getting them because they weigh like 20 some odd lbs. I should've bought two piece rotors, but didn't really think of it. Baer makes front Cobra rotors, Just PM turbo95max, he's currently using them on his Big Brake Kit Set up.

There's the direct link where you can purchase them. They are 400 dollars though if money is not an issue to you.

 

They have been mentioned in the previous post. Just PM jeff92se

 

Nope, I can't tell what he added when he edited it. Thought maybe he added that last little bit that came at the end of the post, after his little list.

In any event, I appologize for trying to help you out. I'll be sure not to do that anymore, as it seems you don't like it.

 

I not being rude either I just didn't see it up there when I posted. Now for the bad news I can't get the rings.

 

I love those pics man. Car looks hot.
Don't realy like carbon fiber trunck though.

 

yeah, let me work on this. Work is killer right now

 

No problem.

 

whatever floats your boat man. Some people like it, some people don't

 

so where are we suppose to get the candiman hubcentric ring?

 

that looks really nice good job

 

i really don't know. Your going to Have to search for Candiman

 

candiman moved so he can't make them anymore. Jeff is working on them look a couple post up.

 

brakes look sweet man, i had the 300zx tt calipers on my 96 back in the day before maximas because such a large thing. i remember when i couldnt even get parts for it. LOL anyway good luck and enjoy those breaks

 

If you are not going to put the cobra rottors and your goin to stay with the stock one's do the 300z calipers bolt on or do u still need "Jeff's brackets" ???????

 

i got a second set of rims/tires for the winter, they are stock maxima 16". if i put these or any other better aftermarket rotors on, are those rims going to fit. is there any kind or rule of thumb, or guide to go by when replacing the stock rotors? i remeber seeing somewhere here that 15" and 16" rims will not fit with sertain aftermaket rotors.

 

your going to need some other brackets i believe.

 

They ARE NOT going to fit under your 16 inch rims, nor will it fit the stock 17 inch rims. Your going to need wheels that have atleast 2.5 inches from the rotor to the spoke of the wheel.

 

Is he talking about changing the calipers, or the rotors?

 

both. are there any good aftermarket options for the stock 17"s that will also fit the 16"s?

 

Oh, in that case, I second what A33 VQ30DEK had to say... since IIRC most bbk's I've read about (which isn't that many) usually say that you need at least 17" wheels (with offset requirements as well).

 

Lowes does NOT sell hardened bolts. You should remove all the hardware purchased from a home improvement center and replace them with hardened hardware immediately for the safety of yourself, your passengers and anyone that happens to be driving next to you. This should be a priority!

The hardware that you purchased from Lowes is not meant to be used on a motor vehicle. The hardware has not been treated to handle the temperature and stress that a vehicle can put on it. Your brakes look great and it appears that you did a great job, however, you will regret all that work when these things break apart on you. Go and get yourself some hardened bolts.

 

I got my bolts from nissan and have to use like 10 washers on them. Turbo95max, is using the bolts from lowes and he has the high grade bolts.

 

Cool!

As far as Turbo95Max's bolts being high grade, they are still not hardened and therefore not made for automobile applications. You'll know hardened bolts when you pay for them because they are not cheap.

 

Yep, a major factor that many people forget when upgrading their braking system is the clearance from the rotor to the spokes of your rim. Even if you have 22" rims, the caliper may still hit the spokes.

 

we'll they are high grade bolts for a fact.

 

Got my lines, calipers and brackets are coming. Hopefully jeff can get those rings made. but gives me time to get calipers powdercoated.

 

Okay, I took a ring to the machinist and they quoted me pricing. So yes, I'll be able to get them made! I should be able to hold Candiman's pricing also. So stay tuned! I'll get the order started today or tomorrow. Delivery is about a week to me.

 

Jeff you are the man!!

 

Pricing is $45 shipped.

 

Looks good Brian, Two thumbs up!!!

 

Bottom line they are not hardened! It may work now but down the line, who knows!

 

we'll then you talk to turbo95max about that. i won't have to deal with it
