300ZX Brakes on 6th Gen Maxima

Here are pics of 300ZX 4 piston brakes on my 2005 Maxima. Better stopping power and much better looking!! Tell me what you think.

Yes, no other 6th Gen has these . . . . yet. Wilwood now has a BBK for the 6th Gen. But the 300zx conversion is much cheaper cuz the stock rotors are used. Just need to source calipers which I got on ebay for $80. I put in Hawk HPS pads and rebuilt the calipers. Total cost - about $400.

Thanks so much for the kind words guys. Contact Matt Blehm. He made the adaptor brackets. The brakes will have more of an effect on ur car then it did on mine cuz my brakes are pretty good to begin with. But nothing looks better than a 4 piston caliper stuffed inside the wheel!!!

Nice job, now just lower it a bit.
Did you have to modify the rotors at all or did they bolt right up?

Rotors are stock. I just had Matt Blehm make a bracket and then it bolted right up.

It is lowered. Some of the pics look like it wasnt lowered cuz it was raised up on a jack.

My stock rotors are 12.6" I believe. Braking power is noticably responsive and easier to modulate.
