i know this has been answered before but i cant find the link...would we benefit from j30 brakes??

can someone help me out?

 

was that a bad question or should i assume that no one has done this.

 

I dont know from first hand experience, but I believe J30 brakes are 2 piston and larger than I30 brakes so there would be benefit to it.

Not 100%, not a stupid question though

 

Dunno, but off my head, I thought the J30 brakes are identical or simliar to the 300zx Non-Turbo Brakes.

 

so...thats a plus then...cause at the junkyard i was sitting there staring at them and wondering if they'd fit with little modification.

 

Theyd probably fit with the same modifications it takes to get the Z brakes to fit. What do they look like?

 

wurd i have a j30 near me too..
would this work.. cause i think one of my front calipars ceased.. so i can see if i can replace with this..

 

What makes you think that?

 

well cause i head a rubbing constantly.. and one of them ceased a while back and my shop got it out after a while.. now this one is being gay..

 

Ask Tilley, he has done this

 

If the J30 brake is single piston, there would be no benifit (unless it looks better). Hell, nissan is known for using interchangeable parts and it might even be the same caliper.

 

no the J30 caliper is two piston

 

Are they painted black with the word "NISSAN" in white on them, like the 300z??

 

i cant remember...

 

nope they are a different design, they actually seem "thinner" than the 300Z calipers; but still consist of 2 pistons

 

Seems it would be better to just use the 300z calipers then.

 

dont the 300zx calipers need bigger rims??

 

From what I remember Tilley telling me, the 300ZX TT's are 4 piston, and the J30's are 2 piston. Since our master brake cylinder is kinda weak, the J30 brakes actually perform better than the 4 piston ones due to operating efficiency.....or something like that.....I think they fit better too.....but brake pad selection is pretty poor....

 

the J30 would be a better idea than the 300Z since you need massive spacers for most wheels in order to clear the 300Z calipers

its just that i have no idea if they just bolt on, or need a relocation bracket for them to go on the A32

 

Ummm dont forget there on an infiniti

 

ahh yess very knowledgable indeed.... with the j30 pillars they would have more surface area... as well.. .. and i would just us yokobono.. or whatever ceramic pads... and get a decent rotor.... not drrilled or naythign cuase its hard to cut them etc... so.. if anyone else had more input like above.. please share..

 

I think that only applies to the TT calipers.

 

I was talking about the non TT brakes which I think are 2 piston (black with the white lettering of nissan while the TT ones look different from that). Since the J and the Z are extremely similar the thought had crossed my mind that the calipers might be the same... Although they both have 2 piston calipers, appearantly they look different.


Hmm... I never thought of that before.

 

So?!? Nissan makes infiniti. Every single part on the car says nissan... engine parts, interior parts, windows... all are covered in nissan or the nissan logo... why should the calipers be any different??

 

Can someone feel me in on what year J30 everyone is referring to? Also it'd be nice to know what year I30 we're talking about putting them on?

 

93-97 J30 and the 96-99 I30... I wouldnt be supprised if the calipers on the 00-04 I30/I35 were the same as the 96-99 I30s though...
