Wow. I must admit that this is one of the better mods that I have done. The power to weight ratio for these babys are amazing. I had no idea that the stock calipers were so heavy compared to the aluminum 300zx. Still bedding these pads and hopefully nothing will happen in the next few weeks.

 

They look great man! Where did you get them at?

 

looks awesome buddy the stopping power on these things are great i love it i have it on my 4th gen

 

damn the caliper looks new!

 

I can't see them... Any bigger pics?

 

Think I read $290 from ebay and is using matt blehmco adapters.

 

You are correct, and thats loaded

Let me see what I can do....oh thats sarcasm. You almost had me resizing them and spending unnneeded time writing a respose back...

 

fits easily?

 

With these wheels...yes

 

where does he have the adaptors for sale? i checked the group deal section and there's nothing plz give me info!! thanx

redls1 you are always on top with a fine directory of information. yes I used stock sized rotor at 12.6" and matt's brackets. His mom is now sales coordinator Pam.

 

Those look hot! This may be something for me to mod in the future!

 

Looks great. I have these as well. Did you paint or powdercoat the caliper? For a smoother look, I sanded off the "sumitomo" letters and some of those little numbers.

 

Thanks

It was the duplicolor high temp paint. I have done the G2 paint and so far so good. I read on some past threads that you did that and found your before and after. I dont mind the sumitumo. If and when I ever sell these, there will be no question that these are authentic Japanese parts. Are yours aluminum or iron. I couldnt believe the difference in weight just from my stock calipers.

 

thanx alot for the info guys!!!

 

I have pics of my calipers before I sanded to show they are authentic. Mine are aluminum. I think the weight difference is 10 lbs per side.

 

Man those look great. Wish there was money to get some of those. Oh well I guess I could always paint mine. haha

 

Those calipers look sick, great mod man

 

thats what i had for 2 years, served me well

thanks

 

I want these. Where can i get the calipers from and will they fit in my stock 18's ?? Do i need to change rotor size? I know i need brackets from jeff. What else?

 

Most have bought the calipers from ebay , be on the look out. Depending on whose brackets you get will determine size. I believe matts brackets use the stock size 12.6" rotor while jeffs brackets use the 13" mustang rotor.

 

They will not fit stock 18s. Brackets are from Mattt Blehm. If you go with Jeffs brackets, you have to get 13" cobra rotors.

 

Jeff = 13" rotor, Matt = stock 12.6" as red said. Be patient on purchasing your calipers. You will be lucky to find one rebuilt and painted, loaded under $300 on ebay.

sharp
I believe out of all the mods I have done, I like this one the most. Did you ever figure the pressure problem out?

 

My brakes still act up once in a while, so I dont think I figured it out.

 

Matts brackets on the stock 6th gen rotor dont fit in the stock SE 18's ?? The caliper is too big ? Im not really looking to change rims right now so maybe some RTP's, HPS, and SS lines will have to do for now.

 

The z32 Calipers will not clear the Stock 18s

 

The stock 18s just baaaaaarely touch the raised lettering on the 300zx calipers. I suppose if u shaved them off, the rims would fit. Its that close.

 

wow... lots of 300z RED calipers in here!

 

They look great congrads

 

Thanks, i am having to deal with a squeel now that is pissing me off. i just put some antisqueel on the pads last night, but still there mildly. I prob have to change pads or take a layer off the rotor...who knows. modding these beasts can be frustrating.

 

I have been battling brake squeal since I got them. Its worth it.

 

How come DeusExmaxima calipter is postion higher than VigilanteMax?

 

I had the brackets on different. I have changed them since, but have to say that they stopped better the other way..I just had some rubbing issues on the caliper.

 

They stop better lower?
I would think with those rims you wouldnt have any rubbing issuses.

 

Calipers on rotors rubbing. I can fit my whole foot between the caliper and the rims..not an issue

 

Which way is better? My way or ur way??

 

Uuuuuuummmmmmmm those wheels are freaking sick. What are they and how much do they run?

Still learning here,

Jesse

 

oh ok, are you using your stock size caliper?
I think he meant his way.

 

I wonder why they would stop better his way???
