Got cobra 13 rotors, got 300zx TT calipers, now what?
Hi, I got the Mustang Cobra R 13in rotors the other day. I also picked up the 300ZX TT calipers. I heard I need some kind of brackets and hub centric rings. Does anyone here sell them or know where i can get them? Do i need anything else other than whats stated above, such as SS brake line or whatever? BTW, this is all for a 96 Maxima SE 5spd, the one on my webpage www.cardomain.com/id/certifiedbeast Thanks in advance for your help.
Also, im thinking of getting the new Infiniti FX45 wheels in chrome. 20in and slap on some 245/35/20 Z rated rubbers. My 2 concerns are
1 - I live in Brooklyn, for those that live here, I take the BQE everyday (Road of unlimited potholes and 20" rim's worst nightmare) and i dont know if thats I road i wanna ride 35 series tires on with 20 inch rims.
2 - I think that CHROME combined with such a big wheel thats not made for racing is gonna weight a ton. This meaning lost horsepower and delayed acceleration.
Counter:
But it will look soooooooo good with my 13 rotors and red powdercoated 300ZX TT calipers behind that say "NISSAN" in silver, mmmmmm good.
ANYWAY, PLEASE HELP!

Yes you need to get the 240-300zx conversion lines, you can get them from www.heavythrottle.com don't try to use your stock lines or you will ruin your calipers. You will need to make brackets and hubcentric rings would be the easiest way of centering the rotor on the hub but there are other ways. CandiMan was selling hubcentric rings for this but I think he's stopped. Not sure if he has any plans of doing brackets en masse.
20" rims and 35 series tires in NYC. Hmm. my estimate is that you will ruin 3 tires and 2 rims per year... that means it's a bad idea.
20" chrome rims and acceleration. Your car will be alot slower than stock. I'd venture to guess with a 20" factory wheel you'd probably add 100lbs of rotational weight which would be approximately equal to adding 800lbs of static weight. Your car probably would have a hard time breaking out of the 16s with those boat anchors on there. But if you are just in it for the looks and actually like how a 20" wheel looks on a maxima (I think it looks retarded but that's up to you it's your personal preference and your car) then go for it.

I haven't "stop" selling the hub-rings. If anyone is willing to buy a single set of rings at my machinist price I'll be more than willing to be the middle man, but it will be his price not mine. I think my machinist might be willing to do another GD but I honestly don't think the interest is there for more rings besides maybe from a couple members. So if you or anyone else might be interested in hub-rings I can post another GD info. More than likely it will be the exact same info from the first GD, but DON'T quote me on that until I speak to him. Personally I haven't had a chance to look into the brackets, but a couple other members have gone much further than I have in fabricating brackets.

Bob,
I hear what you're saying, but you don't go buying half a mod...just my two cents anyways...no hard feelings at all!

I got them both for $150, thought it was a good deal so i grabbed them knowing i can use them. Came here to find out exactly what else i need.

You need adaptor brackets from me. $40+shipping. And you need the hub rings from candiman to center the rotors.
You will also need some ss lines. www.anplumbing.com
fronts: 63071020
rears: 63071520
These are for a 3-gen but should be fine for a 4th gen. The fronts are designed to eliminate the small hard line that pokes out of the Z caliper. But if you would rather use the 240 conversion lines, I have an extra front set for sale. $40 shipped.
