Simply amazing. This brake upgrade is awesome. Recommend to anyone who is an aggressive driver. Entire cost with everything (including installation because I hate bleeding lines) was about $850, which I think is awesome for how quick my car stops now. Anyway on with the pics... (and some of the car..hehe)

 

 

where did you purchase the kit?

 

lookin good man.

 

purchased calipers lines and kit from matt blehm

other components from misc parts stores online

 

nice man i tottaly love that look

 

Nice job man, car looks good!

 

niceee

 

Looks very nice. What rotors are those?

 

looks good...

 

 

sweet man. i love the whole look and especially the rims. what size are they and what size tire you got on there as well?

 

rotors are from a 2004 max...

rims are 19x8.5 and tires are 245/35/19..i love the width..so do women

 

very nice man

 

Maybe you need to look up the definition of "nice"! Those brakes look like they were slapped together by a drunk crackhead. None of those parts were even meant to be used together, but everyone jumps on each others nuts every time one of these threads comes up, which is almost daily now.

 

nissan calipers sitting on nissan rotors is rice? you're a ****ing idiot dude.

get off the high horse.

 

tell me howthat is rice?

 

damn looks good , i like ur wheels too..

 

 

dude hes just upset that hes over 30 and in a mid-life crisis, so he had to buy a mustang convertible like every other white guy with a small ***** out there...just relax man, to each is own, and if you dont like somethin, just shut the f*ck up...also, i want you to be honest and tell me that your car stops quicker than mine...exactly pato

 

was looking, but maybe i overlooked.. what items do i need to go about doing this swap ?

 

Welcome to the club.

 

makes me wish mine were on my car and not sittin in my garage

 

....... .......

 

ROFL. looks like someones lost their dummy to suck on.

btw. which 300zx are the calipers from ?, early shape, facelift or twin.

 

NICE very nice!

 

one thing i did notice is that the contact area that the brake pads hit the rotor are not in good contact. so when you brake the pads dont hit all of the rotor and you could actually see that in the picture.

 

car looks awesome, they really set it off

 

this setup has more contact area.

nice car, i like the look of it, very clean and the david Ls are a nice touch.

 

Well how can you fix that? Do you have to remount the calipers or something?

 

thats just how the kit is.

jeff92se says its perfectly normal as stock brakes/pads have around the same general untouched area

 

if you look at the stock setup, you could even tell that the contact patch is different. by looking at the pics, you could tell where the pads meet the rotor when the brakes are applied. when at least me look at my rotor and and where the pads meet up, it is wasy closer to the center of the rotor. i dont know where he got that idea from.

 

i never said I agreed with him. I brought it up once in a thread about the contact patch area and that was what he said to me.

 

Good to see everyone is getting this mod done!
and BTW, that area did bother me a lil bit so i just ended up going with the normal sized rotors. i dont like the idea of all that untouched area, maybe its just for looks? either way, even though i have stock sized rotors for 300zx, brake power is still awesome!

 

They look ok, but there is a lot of surface area on the rotors that isn't getting any contact by the pads. Also, is this just on the front wheels?

 

Looks excellent, great job, way to think outside the box...

 

how much does it improve on braking?

oh man braking is ridiculous now..i stop on a dime..i love it..definitely worth the money

 

so you have the 300zx calipers and rotors? what was needed to make the 300zx rotors fit?
