You can do like chocolatestraw and get the zx rotors cut down but thats issues

 

lol

 

looks good??

 

I used a front brake kit that extends the bracket back to fit the OEM caliper on with a 12.8" rim.



and on the back brakes I used FASTBRAKES rear brake kit that has bracket to move OEM caliper back and use a 12.1" rotor.



I also upgraded to SS brake lines. I think thats going to be just fine.

 

or just buy slotted drilled cobra rotors off ebay for $90 lol

 

take it you meant rotor... why do i need the calipers moved to the rear??? i actually like how they look in the front more... just me.. nothing of extreme fancy... if coating the 6th gen calipers looked as good then that wouldve been the choice... i just want a pretty looking brake setup... 300zx calipers (painted in some color of my choice) and some nice rotors lol dats all nothin more fancy

 

ramnas has stock calipers all around.

He has relocation kits for both front and rear so he can use a larger rotors WITH the stock calipers, front and rear.

 

No, perhaps I explained that wrong.

On the front brakes. I used the OEM calipers. I bought a kit that uses brackets to move the OEM calipers out more to accept a 12.8" rotor.

On the back I used the OEM rear calipers and bought a kit that uses brackets to move the OEM calipers out to accept a 12.1" rotor.

That is what Im talking about. Nothing fancy, no big Brembo brake calipers, no 300zx calipers...all OEM....just stock OEM calipers. Only thing I did was buy all new calipers for the front and rear since the car had 115k miles on it.

 

Your looking for 4 8mm OD O rings

 

gotcha gotcha, i was thinking you moved the calipers from the front to the rear like how it looks on a 911 lol...

I've been only skimming through this thread today, and just now noticed this.

If you put them side-by-side, it looks like he has a poached egg on his shoulders.

 

I miss that old 300 i had it was ugly forest green tan leather and digital dash

 

u crazy...lol.

 

 

But it's right in front of you, ranmasaman! Your avatar is wearing his breakfast!

How could you not see that, man?

 

Not dump truck heavy? Wtf you smokin? Lol. I went from iron to aluminum and they way heavier. It felt like I through a set of light weight wheels on when I changed.

Huge weight difference. Calipers felt heavier than when I changed the brakes on my cousins navigator.

 

 

you see that rebuild link for the calipers

 

dumptruck heavy though... cmon man lol...

o.k another question, CJ said should stick to the 95-96 calipers... my question, are all the models of the 300zx 95-96 calipers the BBK caliper upgrade for maximas???... the reason im asking is #1 i dont know anything of those cars, i actually cant even stand the look of them (but thats another topic) i just simply want to know if the 95-96 turbo or non turbo 300zx the "lighter" calipers that i should get... the calipers i found was from the 96... im not sure if the calipers are different from *whatever year they start-94 and then lighter in 95-96 or is it a case where the heavier brakes is on the non turbo and lighter on the turbo car or vice versa??? yall nikkaz confusing the noob lol

 

That's true, you do amuse me, cj. More so today than usual.

 

yea ill just buy the rebuild kit anf pay the powder coating shop to change em out... here is my 1 question if i do decide to do it myself thats kinda confusing to me in the link..... what did he use n how did he remove the piston, i think im a tad thrown off there lol

 

all you need to ask for is the alum 1996 300zx tt calipers

The following is a comparison of some different Z32 300ZX brake calipers.

The "26mm Aluminum" calipers were used ONLY on 1990 non-turbos. They used a 280mm x 26mm rotor.

The "30mm Aluminum" calipers were used on 1990 Twin-turbos and ALL 1991-1992.5 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They used a 280mm x 30mm rotor.

The "30mm Iron" calipers were used on ALL 1992.5-1996 300ZX's (both turbo and non-turbo alike). They also used the 280mm x 30mm rotor

this last one was revised and upgraded to the alum caliper due to consolidation of part numbers

how will they know??? if its a junkyard i assume they just pull em off TT or non TT and just list em as 300zx brakes lol

 

perfect ill save this

 

if a magnet stick its steel if not its alum also ask if it says sumitomo on the front above nissan

@ sales today....

at this rate I may even buy those 3.5 heads from moncef, someone buy a motor so I can call in sick on friday and start wiring up the red car

 

i guess to avoid the aluminum one is to just get a 95-96 300zx caliper.... that couldve been said a tad easier, but the chart does help

 

Don't let this go to your head... but that's brilliant.

Is that your image/info, or did you find it somewhere?

 

i'll take 4 and throw in a front half of a '12 g37

 

alot of research and found this out there. i have been stock piling for awhile

 

in reality as long as its the alum one and says NISSAN on it you will be ok there is only a 4mm piston difference and the 30mm uses a SS piston and the 26mm uses a castiron piston there is also a 6lb difference between the alum and castiron one where the difference between the 2 alum ones is only 12oz

 

Couldn't believe this guy. He offered $20 back. I

I paid $175 plus $50 brokerage (expected)

Thats a crapload of money for a couple pieces of aluminum. And then tell me that 'so what' they're all scratched to hell? That's "normal"? No... Come on man.

If this moron doesn't make a reasonable reimbursement I'll deny his money and make it my daily job to slander his products all over the forum.
