Ok, if you want to spend 400-500 on 4 piston brakes, u can get the brackets and stainless lines from Matt Blehmco for about $210, and u can score the 4 piston calipers from 300zx for about 200+. I am looking for aluminum calipers for lighter weight. I am watching auctions on ebay. Then Ill send my 210 to matt and he'll make me the brackets.

If you go with Brembos, I think you are looking at a minumum of $1,000 for the calipers, used, and several hundred more for the rotors, possibly. Dont even think about buying these calipers from the dealer. Lots of $$$$$$$$.

Ill keep u posted on my 300zx BBK conversion.

 

Thanks Deus;

That helps a lot. I don't want to spend that kinda money for brakes on a everyday driver. (brembo's) Let us know how the 300zx conversion goes. So that guys spent 1000's of dollars for brakes on an altima? what ever floats his boat.

 

I mean the only rational way to have Brembo calipers is if u luck out and find them for sale on ebay or the like. Its a shame cuz they are very good and look good too. I had Brembos on my Spec V and DAMN they stopped good!!! I miss them.

 

Well Deus I have not seen any on ebay so I will wait to see how your conversion turns out.

 

Any further word on the Brembo conversion?

have the brembo calipers from a G35 and have been working on getting these to fit the 6th gen max. well the first thing i did was pulled the rotor off the front and checked to see if the caliper would bolt up. and it did. Next i removed the caliper and reimstalled the rotor. the problem that i found was the rotor was slightly to large in diameter. the rotor hat was also another problem. it was rubbing the underside of the caliper. the other was a ever so slight offset problem. as of right now im having a machine shop with set of the OEM brembo rotors getting worked on right now. the way i fixed the offet problem with the rotor is with a thin sheet of steel, it was cut out in a manor to be insterted between the rotor and the hub. this is all temp. right now because my plans are the have rotors made for this application.

 

Our rotors are too big? Maybe the part where the caliper attaches is too small on our car compared to the G35 thus making the caliper sit tighter against the rotor. So y dont u use our stock 12.6 inch rotor, that should give u the necessary clearance the brembo rotor is 12.8 inches.

Also, if u do the front, do the rear. Its easy and direct bolton, all u need to do is trim the dust shield or just remove it.

Best thing would be to have a bracket made for the caliper to move it forward on the assembly, I will have a bracket made for my ride so I can use OE rotors with my wilwood calipers in the winter time. Basically all it is, just a shorter bracket then the one that came with my wilwoods.

Or just buy thease

300ZX to 350Z Brembo 12.8" rotor adaptor brackets.

I was actually going to get the Sentra Brembo calipers since its quite abit cheaper than the Z ones. Might want to look into that, unless you have the money and want to the get the Z brembo calipers. BTW the Z brembo caliper list at $1293 each and the sentra is $298 each. . Either way you will need to make a bracket in order to install these.

 

Hey Ken, If my sway bar comes in, Ill ask for you tomorrow (Thursday)

Mark

 

but you get the cool color calipers that say brembo on them

 

why dont you just wait till brembo comes out with a kit that fits the 6th gen.

 

Cuz we'll all be dead by then . . . .

 

Or cool calipers that say NISSAN on them

 

hey kam i thought i saw that you had wilwood BBKs on your car? was i mistaken??? nd isn't wilwood a much betta brand than brembo...i mean they do use wilwoods in farraris and porches...lolxz

i would think they had to be good...y can't you just use wilwood calipers with brembo rotors...cause i kno they have rotors out for our cars...nd i thought u had wilwood calipers on yours...granted its lik putting sugar with salt buh it would make sense...

wilwood makes great brake calipers...brembo makes great rotors...y not buh to two pros together...??? just a thought i might be completely wrong please inform me so. thankxz

 

any good with AP bbk? are they worth gettin?

 

Cause I have wilwood 13.6 inch floating 2 piece rotors and they works great. Dont waste money on APR, thease wilwoods will stop the car on a dime!!

Kamski

 

Kamil would Willwood calipers work with brembo rotors or do you have to buy willwood replacement rotors? I know the willwood set is about $1200 but how much are replacement pads and rotors?

Please reply. We are hooking up my brother's car (he is the one with money now) and I would like to tell him.

He want's to get the same rims you have but they are no longer listed on ebay...where did you gets yours?

Also I will be contacting you about the other mods you have installed soon.

 

The rotors you can get from fastbrakes.com as replacements theyr $190 each. The are wilwood clones. If you can get a 1.25" thick 13.6" diameter rotor from Brembo you can use it for sure.

Zajebiste.

Kamillo

 

What is the thickness on an OEM rotors and brembo blanks for 04 max. anybody?

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEBI%3AIT&rd=1

Or thease!!! I just spoke to a Nissan tech that came into my store, he said they sold thease to a maxima owner and he installed them. Over his stock rotor. Work great.

Kamski

 

They look like 2 pot calipers. Is that right?

 

I still think these are the best brakes, cuz they are Nissan, lightweight, and work great:

 

I am partial to mine.

 

You do realize this thread is over 2 years old?

 

hey deus! I found you a good deal on brembo. Full set (all four corners) of calipers, rotors, and pads for $800. Was taken off of a G35. And I think you can still bargain it down a bit

 

WHERE??? PM me please.

 

PM'ed ya Deusie~! Hope everything works out.

 

Got ur PM. Ill make offer and see what happens. I think Id be first 6th Gen Maxima with Brembos, right?

 

I dont know, but I want everyone to know that I was the first to put a rock chip greater than the size of a dollar in my windshield....lol

 

i do believe so.........

 

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

 

So buttons on ur underwear

 

depends on how big your underwear is.. could take days or weeks....










what the Puck are we talking about??

 

So > Sew

 

Didn't someone try this and it didn't fit?

 

well, it should be the same as the altima... slight modification and it SHOULD work...

its hard to be 100% sure because no one wants to shell out the $$

 

Elaborate. Are you saying this works on the Altima? Theoretically, if this is the case, then it should fit 95-07 Maximas.

From what said was that RWD vs FWD BP’s were off a touch, and therefore, ‘slight’ modification is an understatement.
