He wont know for at least a couple weeks till he lets them break in, do what I did and brake from 100+mph down to 30 on new rotors and toast then on the spot.

Thanks!

For sale
2 Z-TT calipers
2 Z-TT PowerSlot rotors (milled down already)
2 Goodridge (Stillen) brake lines
4 Porterfield R4S brake pads (bought and used for 3 months)

Includes all hardware needed for install.

http://boostedmaximas.com/y2kevse/im...00zt_calipers/
The passenger side rotor was rubbing the inside of the caliper so you can see the ring it has (after the manual conversion).

uufff..... Wish I had the bling bling.

But until someone does a pre/post test I just cant justify that it will stop me that much quicker/safer.

But I must say....looks very sharp under those Volks.

Why don't you ask your RICE pedal where you can get a set?

That's sweet Kev...I talked to Brian about those..I wish I had the cash to pick them up. How's the braking balance? Is it okay, or a little off? Man, I'm envious.

What you got up your sleeve? 300Z front calipers for the Maxima rear?

BTW, how is the pedal feel compared to the 300Z? I thought you lost some travel and gained some "mushy" feel, but are the Brembos any better?

Sure, I'll do so in a few.

I'm not wealthy, don't get the wrong idea.

From what I'm able to do so far, the brakes are MUCH better than the 300ZX calipers (they better be). The pads bite the rotors REALLY well.

We'll see if it works or not. Too bad I don't have the parts to compare and stuff.

Surprisingly, the pedal travel didn't get any worse. Since the brakes bite much better, you don't have to step on it too hard to slow you down. There's about 1-1.5" of pedal travel, but once you get there, you'll feel the difference (vs. 300ZX TT).

I actually asked DAVEB to check on something regarding the rear brakes.

Thanks for thinking so highly of me.
