$500 would be much easier to swallow.
I still have several sets of the first 2-pc rotor run I made about 5 years ago. nobody wanted to pay the $550 it cost back then, and I'm stuck with $5k worth of rotors and hats.

Anyway, I still have them. I'll sell the rotors w/ hats for $500 a set (plus shipping) if you want them. the rotors themselves are custom made for me by a well-known race shop, and I've used their rotors for the last 10+ years on my track cars. At last count, I'd gone through like 30 sets of pads on one set of rotors.. On my 240SX race car, I've run the same set of rotors for over 4 years and have at least 60 road races on them. i.e. about 30 "track days". the ones on my Maxima have over 30k street miles and easily 50 track days on them.

nonetheless, they're obviously good stuff. the discs last damn near forever, even with harsh track pads. If you ever need more rotors, I'm not going anywhere any time soon, and I probably will still have them sitting on the shelf for immediate shipment. If not, I can have them made and shipped off my specs in a week or two.

let me know if you're interested. tech@blehmco.com

As for the brackets, I don't have any more and wasn't planning to run another batch. however, given the demand I've seen in the last few weeks, I'm considering making another run but need to find a machine shop that doesn't want to f*** me on pricing. the place I used to use tripled their prices on this stuff and it was costing me stupid money just for the brackets. If I can find a place that will make them out of aluminum for decent money, I'll switch to aluminum. price shouldn't be too much more than the steel ones and will weight 1/2 of what the steel brackets did.

Matt your brackets are for the 300zx and 6th gen rotors correct?also as far as machine shops go try to find one with a waterjet they usally cost half of what a normal production milling would run you as long as you have the cad/cam files and i would source your own stock much cheaper then what they going to charge

Been there, done that man... previous ones were laser cut. same price as water jetting, depending on what the shop has. both are accurate enough.

And yes, these brackets are for the Z32 calipers and 6th gen rotors-- the design I pioneered 8 years ago and have sold probably 200 sets of.

Thanks for the reply. I am getting out of the maxima game but if things change I would def pick them up for $550.
