~~~Question~~~

So what exactly do I need to buy to do a bbk upgrade to my 00 Max? Im talking down to every the last little thing (for front and rear), I have never done a brake upgrade before so I want to do it right the first time.

 

well, it kind of depends what kind of upgrade you're looking for.....just pads? pads/rotors? pads/rotors/calipers? bigger rotors/calipers? etc et c.

 

just did mine last week:
stock ( my cousin's maxima)

after tein-ss drop, powerslot rotors, hawk hps pads, 05 maxima calipers

 

Is it possible to use 35Z track edition rotors with the 300ZX calipers and Jeff's brackets? The size of the track edition rotors are 12.8" which isn't too far from 13". Let me know what you guys think as that would be more options in terms of rotors.

Not really a BBK, but bigger than stock



6th gen brakes

 

When the vanes inside the rotors are curved, having them installed in the correct direction will make the rotor itself act as an air pump, effectivley "pumping" hot air out from inside the center of the rotor to it's outer edges and out through the outside while the rotor is turning.

Of coarse this only applies to curved-vane rotors...

No. the hat offset is different.

 

How many sets of 2peice rotors left matt?

 

new pic. i had them on for a few months and their the best mod yet...stopping power is insane

 

Here is my BBK upgrade. 13.0" cobra rotors, blemcho relocation bracket, and 4 piston 300zx calipers!

YAAAAAA BOY.....

 

Here is my set up: RH Evolution rims, 18x9 with 300zx turbo brakes, Blehmco relocation kit:

 

off topic: But I think some of you guys have your slots on your rotors reversed.

 

In for the painted rotor hubs or 2pc rotors

Otherwise, a sweet looking setup

 

ap bbk/1pc 13.1" rotors/ssbl/ferodo pads

 

alfonso, that is the ****!

 

Damn that AP racing is the ****!

 

6th gen bbk upgrade

 

Finally painted my calipers and my one non-zinc coated rotor. In the process of the painting I realized that when I had my new tires installed 2 weeks ago that the shop put 2 hubcentric rings inside ONE wheel....so for two weeks my car was vibrating like a madman on the highway. Now the second ring is out and it's driving like normal, thank god.

 

nice wheels 95maxrider.

 

Those rims look like A33's old rims.

 

I was wondering this too! it seems to be half half each way. which way is it suppose to be? pic please im a visual person. thanks!

 

I finally got my Z32 setup on...

 

damn son.......paint the insides of those rotors!!!

 

that rust is scary

 

wow thats a lot of clearance with those z32's. powdercoated i see !

 

I think it really only matters which direction the internal rotor cooling vanes are facing. They should dissipate heat away from the center of the rotor. As far as the direction of the slots on the surface, I always thought they function and look better when the outermost edge of the slot contacts the pad first (ex. 1fstmax's brake setup).

 

Na, they're already on the car....I'm gonna wait for my 2 piecers.

 

i too have that black and blue thing under the caliper that is attached to the brake pads. what does it do? i put the pad with that attachment on the inside of the caliper instead. what is it for?

 

Its the audible brake wear indicator. Once the pad is worn out, it will rub on the rotor and make a continuous screech noise- which will go away as you hit the brakes...

Stock pads are the same way, as far as A32-A34 go.

 

oh. well the brake light coulda done that too lol but i like the term "audiable"

 

brake light?

How would a brake light warn you about the pad being worn out?

 

when fluid runs low, it turns on

 

Question:

Answer:



Me lol this isy onl rspnse to this i could come up with lol

 

?? when your pads run low, the fluid level drops because it requires more brake fluid for the piston to push out the pads all the way, therefore your brake light goes on. many people know this about 4th gens. everytime my pads go low, my brake light comes on

 

As BlackBIRDVQ said, its just the sensor that hits the rotor when the pads run low. What brand pads are those Kev?? Usually the sensor is on one end of the pad itself. I have never seen it sticking out from that end towards the rotor's hub area.

 

that only works if your master cylinder is sized properly with your pistons and brake setup. when you go to the Z32 calipers, your master cylinder reservoir is too small to go by that. in fact, you'll run out of fluid in the reservoir before you run out of brake pad.

 

I actually just had to refill mine because of this. I'm running Q45 calipers though. Pads are fine.

 

Should have it installed by MAXUS... too much work right now to get it done. Sorry for the quality, camera phone pwns me.

 

what are the specs mike on the brembo bbk?

 

I will measure the rotors and soon you will see pics of them installed.

Each rotor is 13lbs.
