My 300ZX BBK Upgrade
Hello fellow 6th genners. Today i have for you my 300zx BBK UPGRADE. Before I continue SPECIAL THANKS TO CORYXAVIER AND KCMAXX, if not for these two members I wouldnt have this
Visited Cory for some BSing and some installing of a few items. I think we
BS'ed more than anything else. First off I would like to say, nothing on my car is easy to take off except the wheels
I think my ride has sat in the Texas Sun for far too long so every bolt seemed like it melted and became part of the sheet metal
As every member here who visited Cory for work have said, he is a real cool guy and makes you feel at home. Even better, he even had dinner ready :shakeshout::shakeshout
unfortunately, I was fasting and couldnt eat meat, Sorry Cory, but next time I wont be fasting and tell the woman i want mofongo) How many guys do that? I am not gonna bore you with all the details. Here are my pics (better ones to come soon, i have to touch up some) So here you go. PS. I am using a dogbone type bracket created by Nizomo1 and I am running stock rotors (with the dog bone, i should be using the 13"cobra rotors). In th pics you can see i do not get full pad coverage, however there are some brackets in the works to get me more pad coverage (a la the one, a member use to make, his name is slipping me)

You'd be really upset at some higher end vehicles BBK's or even stock brakes of cars meant to be driven fast for that matter.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, it is true that with this set up you dont get full pad coverage however, the stopping is great on this. as I stated above I can get a little more pad coverage if i upgrade my rotors to the cobra 13" rotors, but I am waiting for a copy of the mattblemco bracket to be made (hopefully in the next month) and that will give me HELLA pad coverage. LOL

, i should re-phrase that. I am working on a similar design of these brackets however i am using only pictures of those plus the brackets that come with the willwoods so it has been difficult 
to say the least to get them done. I am also looking into making these out of marine quality aluminumAre you still making these? I was under the impression that you are NOT. if you are, you can save me some headaches. ooh do you just sell brackets or does one have to buy the entire kit?

Even my wilwood calipers do the same thing on the 11.75" rotors on my race car, and Wilwood specs them for 10" to 13" rotors.
As for brackets, I have a few pieces of raw material left that I'm going to eventually build out- maybe 10 sets or so- but I don't have anything completed in stock and I'm not planning on building more once they're gone.
The business and designs are for sale. It once was and still can be a VERY profitable business if someone has the desire to pick up what I had and continue with it. I'm keeping one of everything left that will go with the business/name, website, sales history, vendor contacts, inventory, fabrication jigs, and CAD files.

Why do you think I don't just give my designs away to those that ask? Designing that stuff was a major PITA and took weeks of work and about 4 revisions before it was 'as good as it can fit'. no, they're not perfect, but you're fitting a caliper designed for an 11" rotor onto a 12.6" or 13" rotor. compromises.

. Do you know when your final sets will be made/available? As for the business being for sale, I may know a couple of people who may be interested I will pass the word around but with the economy being the way it is, people very closely guard their liquid equity. I will get the word out though.
Let me know about the brakets once made. Thanks again and have a great day
