can you use oe brake line from 97 max with 300 z 26mm calipers

 

No, you need either the conversion line the 240sx guys use or the brake hose and metal line (the little one on the caliper) from the Z32. The Maxima hoses will not work with the Z32 caliper. I have Z32 hoses on my car, they will mate with the Maxima hard line.

 

don't use the 26mm on the maxima. 30mm would be best for the maxima.

 

you need custom lines to do it properly. I sell them for $55 shipped.. many other people out there (like PDM racing) sell them as well, so you have your choice.

 

thanks matt93se----i pm you once im ready later this week----but why does a33 say not to use the 26 mm calipers

 

You can't use the 6th gen Maxima or Cobra rotor upgrades with the 26mm calipers. If you use the 26mm calipers you have to use the milled down 26mm Z32 rotors.

 

can you use the stock 4th gen rotors with them?

 

No the Maxima rotors are thinner than the 26mm Z32 rotors, and they are the same DIA so they would have to be milled down also.

 

arent the 4th gen rotors 25.7 MM ? isnt that and 26 mm pretty much the same?

and i wonder if theres any two piece of this size somewhere?

sorry to jack the thread but my braking is already outstanding with the stock brakes and if using the 300zx 26 MM setup would increase that braking and save me some weight that would be great.

 

I never looked up the specs on the thickness, I measured mine and they were 24mm (I don't know how old they were) You would need to check the offset on the rotors VS the Z32 calipers. If they are 25.7mm and center in the Z caliper, I would think they would work???? keep in mind you still have to reduce the dia of the 4th Gen rotors.

 

factory 4 gen rotors are 22mm
5 gen are 26mm
5.5 are 24mm (but larger dia).
