If i use Both the 6 gen rotor and caliper will this bolt up on a 4th gen?

 

Different bolts. Search Matt has posted what needs to be done.

 

zack I thought you were using the cobra 13" rotors and Q45 calipers...?

 

get out the 14mm drill bit and it's a bolt on.

 

i do have the Q45 calipers and Cobra rotors. I don't wanna use them. i am selling the rotors/brackets.

I want a simpler setup

 

What exactly am I enlarging with the 14mm bit?

 

Probably the holes that the caliper bolts to.

 

Thats all thats needed to use the 6th gen stuff?

 

its a very easy install once u get all your old stuff off the car.
1. remove stock stuff
2. enlarge tq member bolts from 12mm to 14mm
3. remove or cut down dust shield
4. install everything from the 6th gen

thats basically what needs to be done to make it work.

i have that setup and i love everything about it

 

Wow thats awesome. Couple questions tho...
1.Which holes need to be drilled? Any pics? I dont want to f that up haha.
2. 6th gen stuff is farely cheap correct?
3. What size wheels are needed?

 

I'd recommend going with our Front OE caliper big brake kit. The kit comes with new caliper brackets to fit larger rotors. It is bolt-on and does not require any drilling or modifing the OE setup.

For 89-99 Maxima's we have a 332x24mm kit, and for the 00-03 Maxima's we have a 324x24mm kit.

hmmm....

I've had good dealings with racingbrake in the past (and GRM talks you up), but....

For less money than that kit you can just get 6th gen calipers ($150/pair) and 6th gen rotors ($150/pair) and they bolt DIRECTLY to our spindles and are a perfect fit (with more pad contact area than the 4th/5th gen calipers, I might add.

Hell, it's costing me about the same to do my 300ZX brake conversion as your 1-piece rotor/bracket kit costs by itself....

 

Are there any pics for which holes need to be drilled? Or am I going to know right after I take things apart?

 

the only holes you will be dealing with are the holes where the caliper attaches to the spindle assembly.

 

I also would like a pictogram, if possible.

 

Sounds good. I also need to know if the setup will clear stock 98 se rims? I'm not getting rims for a little while but I need desperate work on my brakes.

 

I am assuming that the 6th gen calipers will bolt up to our stock lines? I have Goodridge SS brake lines and would not want to change them.

 

yes

I am also wondering if the 6th gen calipers and roters will clear 16" wheels?? I have Kosei K-1's and my rotors/calipers are needing replacement soon...

 

i dont think that would clear 16" due to the height of the caliper...but dont take my word on it.

 

any pics from when you did this?

 

you want pics of my 6th gen set up? ill get them to you by email tomorrow if u want

 

What rims do you have on the car with your 6th gen work? Maybe post those pics on here

 

i'm also interested if this 6th gen set up would fit under 16" gen 5 spokes

 

Will this all be the same for a 3rd Gen SE?

 

Bump, will this work on a '92 SE with ABS?

 

i don't see how bolting on this kit will affect your abs? i know it will bolt on but i say ask someone that has abs about this since i dont have abs. and ill get the pics of my kit up later today

edit: here is a pic, my car is dirty and i dont drive it to much anymore so just pretend you dont see the dirt or rust.
but my setup is:
6th gen rotors
6th gen calipers painted black with 6th gen tq member
oem 6th gen pads
4th gen brake lines and oem bleeders
and 18" x 7.5 rims i forget the offset



i'll get better pics once i get my car washed

 

pics up.....

 

I have the 6th Gen front brakes on my 98 I30 with ABS.

Awesome stopping power. I've used it in panic mode a lot, several times because I had to. Never a problem.

 

Anyone know for sure, if this can be used on a 3rd Gen as well?

 

with the clearence liqidvenom has with his 18s looks like you'd probably need atleast 17s to clear them, cant be sure without measuring though

 

17's would be the smallest i would assume you can fit over these. as a rule of thumb....since this came off of a 6thgen wat ever wheels fit on that car over these brake will also work on our cars. and the 6th gen doesnt have a 16" rim possibility i think.

 

I have a 2001 Maxima with the stock 17" rims. What would be the best front brake system with the least customization (like grinding 4-5 mm from rotors).

 

Yes, you need at LEAST a 17" wheel to clear this...

 

go to http://www.mattblehm.com/brakes.htm
there is a template somewhere on there where you can measure to see if brakes will fit...most likely though, the best and most cost effective upgrade that will fit under your wheels will be the A34 setup...but even that will be a very tight fit...

 

Is there any type of write up with pics for this?

 

What write up do you need? Drill the hole to 14mm and bolt on the pieces.

 

Yea I realized that after I posted. Thanks though.

 

Do you have wheel spacers to clear the brakes?

 

nope, the brakes fit like a freaking glove. There's probably 1 or 2 mm between the caliper and the inside of the wheel...
