Clarifications probably needed:
1) Making a bracket to use the 300z 4 piston calipers with the 6th gen 12.6" rotors like Matt Blehm did WON'T be sold for $65 shipped. So I take it that's not what is being sold here.
2) I originally made the dog bone brackets for the Z calipers and teh 13" cobra rotors. Originally designed for the 3-4th gens as a bolt on, will work for the 5th gens if you enlarge one set of holes.
3) Cobra rotors on a 6th gen are a bit different from what I read. My brackets won't work. I assume a 6th/5.5? gen bracket with different bolt spacing dimensions is what's being sold here. Someone should clarify

I didnt know there was an option to buy these. I would have bought the bracket to use the 13" rotors instead of the 11ish I am using now. EBC sells a 11.69" and an 11.02" diameter TT Rotors that is obviously 30mm thick. I personally just think its easier to not use the bracket but I have access to a good machining shop I suppose so my opinion is biased
Both Matt and Jeff have made BBK's for the Maxima. Jeff first came out with the Cobra brackets 8+ years ago.

If you have access to a machine shop put your car on a lift, take measurements and make a set for yourself, and then still keep it to yourself since it wasn't your idea to use rotors off a Cobra. Don't ask the man who did all the research and development to hand over his work so you can plagiarize it.

whoa whoa whoa don't come off to me like I am trying to steal someones work. Do you think he was the first person who came up with the idea to use ZX TT calipers and different rotors? No he took it from someone else that took it from somebody else. The idea has been around since the damn car came out and its a simple metal bracket. Im not discounting what he did for our community but if you say I am trying to steal something? I take offense. Im trying to help people out with making a bracket for our car not passing someone else's work off as my own, which is the definition of plagiarism, so crack open a dictionary before you try to insult me next time and do not call me a thief again
You aren't the first person to come by claiming the false pretenses of helping the community to veil their frugality. He's been doing this for 8+ years and the amount he makes doesn't cover the gas to run to the post office, let alone the time.
You should take offense. As you say it is a simple metal bracket. Go take your own measurements and make the damn thing.
Tuck tail and run, quit running your mouth. You have only broached the surface of designing and building BBKs, and arguing with the guys who have is an interesting tactic. If you don't know the bore and stroke measurements, reservoir capacity, bias, ABS system, hub specs, blah blah blah do your own research. If you produce the dog bones without any thought you'll incur a lot of liability.

The idea to use ZX TT calipers on different platforms has been around since the Z32 came out in the 90's. You are trying to tell me the first person to come up with the idea and the first car it was used on was a maxima? No that is wrong other platforms did it waaaaaaay before you did. I volunteered to have brackets machined if nobody else could to help people out. Not steal measurements to sell brackets to benefit myself.

I don't know the dimension of Nizmo's brackets but they look seriously like mine. And I believe he bought a set from me. Not sure if he designed a different bracket to his own dimensions or not

Guys quit the **** measuring there is a problem here and maybe we can come together as enthusiasts to solve a problem for the Maxima community
So as of now no one is making brackets for the 12.6 rotors?
and jeff92se has no 13" brackets?
i need a set of either asap what am i to do?
if Nizmo makes the brackets do they come with the rings for the 13" cobra rotors?

Can putting a smaller rotor then stock size on your car be called a bbk? I get having more pistons via a larger caliper over stock. but i would rather put a larger off the shelf rotor on my car then having the hassle of buying rotors and then having a machine shop turn them down every time i change rotors out

That didn't really answer anything.
