Your people? If this really does bolt up you can get the brakes used for much less than that. The question is, do we have a similar master cylinder or at least one with identical fittings, or will custom brake lines need to be made?

19x8.5 +17
Z32 4-Pot with 13.1" Cobra Rotors

There's even more room to fit another caliper in there... so much space its ridiculous... Also caliper clearance to the spokes is ridiculously big too.

try searching. theres plenty of threads regarding the 300zx bbk. even in this thread alone has a good amount of information. read up. its good for you.

but to help you out:
300zx calipers
Jeff92se Bracket for 13.1" Cobra Rotor
13.1" Cobra Rotor
Brake Pads.
SS Conversion lines

Check out the Group Deals section. AuTo_MaX_95 sells the entire kit minus the calipers and bracket.

Nonsense. The only reason for more pistons is more little extruded circles on the caliper body--if it doesn't look cool then what's the point?

Seriously though I'm not feeling the "inflated pillow caliper" look, it's like it was designed with no sharp edges so no one sues them.

I am the first to have the sentra SE-R Brembo caliper Upgrade on a Maxima for now
Anybody who claims to be a first, LMAO. Some people don't want their stuff stolen or messed with, so they don't advertise online. Anyways, very nice setup!

300zx Calipers with 13"Cobra rotors (milled down a bunch tho)
SS lines on Enkei 18x8s with stock offset. Spokes clearance was really tight,
but I had a 5mm spacer on anyways and took care of it.

thanks, I think it's a good contrast. The guys at the shop called it dormant orange. They had it on some springs on display, didn't look that good tho. I asked them for something with a glossier finish, so IDK if they put a clear coat on it or mixed something in the poweder, but dormant orange is what it says on the bill lol.

Where did you get this setup? I haven't heard of anyone needing to shave rotors in order to use the cobra rotor.

i bought it here on the forum. I tried to find the link but i couldn't anymore. They are dog bone brackets, not like Matt Blehm's. Maybe someone fabbed something up themselves, the dogbones are slightly different in size, although the width is the same and the distance to the holes is the same so that doesn't matter. you can see how much of the rotor it is using, so maybe it is one of your's? oh and latinmax had to shave his off as well... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/286919/3

Looks like Latin did the 300zx caliper AND rotor upgrade (not the cobra 13" rotor upgrade). So yes, it's mandatory to shave the 300zx rotor to work.

I need to see a picture. Or dig up the member's name.
