300ZX calipers on 6th gen Maxima

I asked around but Im still not sure. I want to know if the 90-96 300zx calipers would fit on 6th Gen maximas. I think they will either bolt on, or fit on using Matt Blehmkos adaptor . There are a few advantages if they do work. They are 4 piston instead of 1 piston, they are lighter weight if u use the aluminum calipers, they have the "NISSAN" logo on it, and performance pads are MUCH more plentiful. I think its a great alternative to a big brake kit (bbk).

What are ur opinions??

Here is a website for a kit. I think its a great conversion and not too much $$$$. Just need calipers from junkyard and maybe brackets to relocate caliper.

Check this out (he could have at least cleaned them up a bit..)
Seems a bit $$$ or do these hold some high value on the market?

Hey, has anyone checked out the group deal forum for the 6th gen rotor and brake pad package? Is anyone going to jump on that or better yet does anyone have it already?

Oops...disregard this...I just saw the other post

Well they would be cheaper at a pick a part junk yard. Its still not bad for a big brake kit, considering the minimum for 2 piston kit from stillen is $1000 and the 300 zx is a 4 piston caliper. If you can get the rears to fit, which I think you can, then you have 4 piston claipers in front and two in back, a really nice set up.
