just finished converting my front brakes yesterday.
300ZX TT 4 piston calipers and 3000GT VR-4 rotors. so far so good. just waiting till Dec 6 so i can pound on these brakes at the track! hehe..




*thanks Malik for letting me borrow your wheels!

 

Aint it WAY past Nov 6th already?

How much this whole setup run you? Rotors and Z calipers? This just for the front correct?

 

oops...i meant Dec 6...

yes, this is just for the fronts..Turbomax95 is working on a rear brake conversion as we speak..

 

Cost? for the whole deal.

 

Mitsu rotors? You are running the 13" rotors? So you needed the adaptor brackets also? Where did you get the ss lines from? The aftermarket 300 ss lines are okay?

 

around $600 for the calipers, rotors and brackets..

 

Woah, how'd you get those calipers, rotors, and brackets?

I liked them better in silver.

 

yes, adaptor brackets are needed to fit the calipers. i already had the SS lines for my car. just had to shortened the tee a little bit to fit on the Z calipers. but an aftermarket 300zx ss lines work just fine.

 

 

So you had to get these rotors shaved also. Nice kit.

 

Nice Fruity looking color on the UDP, what is that the new Blue-Green color?

Dixit

 

At least you kept the pins silver.

 

lookin good, how do they perform?

do the rims and tires clear fine? any rubbing?

 

of course..i don't just paint everything one color..

 

used to be blue..i guess UR uses cheap paint!

 

they're good...i think i'll need to bleed the brakes a couple more times...they're a bit smooshy in the initial bite..but at the limit, they brake real good. the left side calipers were dripping brake fluid instead of spaying nice and evenly..i wonder if Kev had any foul play with that caliper..

btw...no rubbing...the rims clear the calipers with ease

 

Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!

 

look sweeet! what size rims are u on with the set-up?

 

the rims are 18x8 with 38mm offset(might be 35)...but these rims have huge back-space..these will clear almost any brakes out there...

 

Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!
Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!

 

35mm yup a huge amount of clearance

Thanks!!!!!!

something else to add to the X-mas list.

 

Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!
Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!
Hmmmmmmmm?!!??!?!

 

what?????

 

hmmm interesting Mr. Keving

it seems as you are going through the files in your brain remembering all the times you abused the brakes

 

u took my words straight out of my mouth

i think i need some refund, no?

 

I don't understand the what you meant by "the left side calipers were dripping brake fluid instead of spaying nice and evenly"

Refund? Maybe it was bad installation.

 

Looks nice...beefy!

 

oh..when i was bleeding the brakes...the right side was ok...but the left side was having a little trouble bleeding the fluid...

bad installation? i don't think so~ hehe..

btw...you know i'm heading up to Nor Cal tomorrow, right?

 

Did you open the bleeder valve far enough? If not, you'll get dribbles.

You are? Want to meet up? I'll show you my Sentra!

 

bleeder valve? of course i opened the bleeder valve...

yeah sure! i'll give you a call once i get there...

 

Read again.... Did you open the bleeder valve far enough?

 

hehe

 

 

Don't hate!


@ Jeff

Irvine, I got a vaccum bleeder if u need it.
Jae

interesting...


hey Hoon, your right, it doesnt look like your caliper sits as low as mine. dunno, i think its juss the way it SEEMS, cause both is the same caliper bracket.
