Dues's z32 tt brake setup
hey, ive been talking to jeff92se for some brackets and hubcentric rings so we can possibly come up with a bbk [much] cheaper than the ones that are out there. i remember reading about deus's setup and i am trying to find that info so i can relay that to jeff to get his input and ideas.
thanks!
thanks!

projmax, i am wanting to be able to use jeff92se's hardware to be able to use the cobra 13" rotors on our max. also, trying to determine which calipers to use. if stock wont work, then use the z32 tt, Q45, or J30 calipers. basically do a bbk much cheaper using oem nissan calipers.
naice!

There is a parking brake issue with the rears. I would go with the 350Z rear brakes I have; VENTED rotor and slightly larger piston than OEM Maxima brakes.

The 2006-2007 Murano and 2005-2007 Nissan quest rear BRAKES, BOLT RIGHT UP to our MAXIMA!!
Except the rears are 12.6 inch vented rotors
And
Front are 12.6 inch vented rotors with 2 PISTON calipers

Did Matt make you a special set of brackets or did he send you the standard set he used to sell to everyone?

OEM front rotors are 12.6" on the Maxima. I don't think you want more rear bias with rear 12.6" rotors. Matt Blehm sent me the standard bracket.

I don't understand why you needed Matt's brackets if you are using the stock 12.6" 6th gen rotors. Shouldn't the calipers just bolt on?
I think the torque arm dimen are the same as the older maximas but the actual caliper mounts don't allow for the 12.6" rotor. Hence the need for his brackets.
That's my guess.

I realize this. But Matt's brackets were also designed to use with the 12.6" rotor. A rotor you already have. There are two ways to accomodate a larger rotor:
1) Use a caliper that has the attachment arms long enough.
2) Use a torque arm that has it's attachment points lengthened.
I think you must be impling that the 6th gen calipers have longer attachment points than the 300z calipers. So to run these calipers, you have to compensate with Matt's brackets.

Thanks. Just trying to understand. If that is the case then there's a chance that my brackets will work for the 6th gen also (coupled with the 13" Cobra rotors).
But my machinst just got back with me. Ring price will more than double! If I can't find another machinst, the cost is going to be in the $100/pair range for the rings alone. Bringing the bracket/ring cost to about $160-$170 range.

Do you have anything available for the rears of the 6th gen?

Yes. My brackets/rings + 300z 30mm 4 pots "should" work. You will have to enlarge one set of holes as previously advised. I stress "should". I don't think it's been done before.
Rears. Definately not. Whole different/expensive/complicated ballgame.
