Sorry for the long delay fellas. I originally supplied this kit with the brackets and centering rings for the rotor. The rings centered the rotor if you didn't have the Cobra rotor redrilled to the Nissan stud size. I couldn't find a place to make the rings anymore so I'm deleting them from the kit.

Good news = makes the kit price cheaper. Brackets are $60 shipped via usps priority (48 states and sometimes canada)

Bad News = You have to use Cobra rotors that are redrilled. FORTUNATELY Automax offers the rotors redrilled. (also slotted, Xdrilled or dimpled). He also sells the SS lines and pads.

The post is for the Q45/J30 calipers but the instructions are the same. Take note to the hardware specifications (nuts/bolts). I would also add that you need to make sure the nuts/bolts are the same strength grade or better than the oem units you have now.

For those of you that have 2000+ year maximas, you can still use these brackets. BUT you have to enlarge one set of bracket holes to the next size to fit your larger oem brake bolts.


Brackets are $60 / set. Price includes shipping and paypal fees. Paypal is "Jeff_Iwata@yahoo.com". Tell me who you are, what you are buying and where to send it.

I got 20 sets done and I'm informing all PM people 1st. But I'm going to put this exact same message in the for sale sections also. I got more than 20 PMs regarding these so these might sell out again.

I hope I answered all your questions.

You will need to buy the rotors/calipers/mounting hardware and ss conversion lines. But in total, you should be able to do this conversion for about $500. Not bad

If you don't already know, the brackets/rings allow you to use the 300zx 4 piston front caliper and the Ford Cobra 13" rotor. The improvement in braking power is greatly increased. Fade is a non-issue now.

will i be able to use this set up on a 2k2 max? if yes how can i order?

 

do you know what kind of mounting hardware is needed?

 

You need one more set of bolts/nuts/washers to mount the bracket to your torque arm. In the same grade or higher than the existing ones.

 

I believe you can. You have to enlarge one set of holes in each bracket. But that's about it. "Jeff_Iwata@yahoo.com" is my paypal.

 

you mean the holes that the bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket? so basically i need the hubcentric rings so i can use the 13 inch cobra rotors, ss lines, calipers from 300zx tt that are alluminum and all the hardware right?

 

No the bracket holes that hold bracket to the original torque arm.

 

Still have some sets for sale.

 

Jeff will my ABS still work with the 300ZX calipers?

 

Yes, I've had no one say their abs no longer functioned. Actually I've had people comment about their ABS activation after the installation of these parts. There's nothing really affecting the abs sensors or the ability of the sensors to read the teeth on the axle.

 

I just aquired some calipers, So as long as my funding permits I will be picking some of these up shortly.
Do you know where I can get the lines and hardware?

 

Lines = Blemco or similar
Hardware = Interesting enough NOT a hardware store. Best to get these in metric from a Fastener place. Tacoma Scew or similar. A place that specializes in nuts/bolts etc... Make sure to get the same grade or higher as the existing stuff. No Home Depot stuff

 

yeah man, I want the brackets and the rings. should I send you the $$$ via paypal?

 

Yes, that is preferred thks

 

Still have plenty of both left! Start gathering parts now

 

i would buy them, but what is the size of the hardware, if you could give a direct link of what I have to buy I would be in.

 

just search it up. I have a thread from april about the hardware needed to install this kit.

bump for a great kit and good seller!

 

this is all I found

and for the brake lines

 

I have OEM 17" GLE rims. Anyone know if 8mm spacers be sufficient to get those 13" rotors in?

 

It's not the rotors but the huge 4 piston calipers that stick out that give you problems. I highly doubt 8mm spacer with the oem maxima 17s will work.

 

Do you think I could squeeze 'em in with larger spacers, or just not a possibility with factory 17's?

 

The size of spacer required to make these clear would also make the setup unsafe IMHO. You would need at least the Nismo studs which are longer. So after doing all these odd mods, it would be better just to find a set of G/Z factory 17" or 18". They fit perfect, clear the bbk and no spacer is required.

 

bump.........

 

what offset is needed to clear with 17s?

 

Do you by any chance have lines that go from a 240sz to a 300zx caliper?

Im using them for my q45

 

BrianV does, he has a thread in the G/D section for SS brakelines.

 

Its not only the offset you need to consider, but spoke design.

 

I have the brackets, can you sell just the rings?

 

Well would anyone happen to have the hub rings for sale?

 

I'm not banned. You can buy just the rings. As in the 1st post, I mention I sell both

$45 shipped.

But how do you have just the brackets and no rings?

 

Do you have anymore sets for sale?

Thanks

 

Here a lil bit of info for you guys since I came accross a thread on hear that was talking about using 300ZX TT calipers for the Cobra rotor upgrade......well I could be wrong but I looked up the specs of the cobra rotor and it stated it was only 26mm thick, thats a problem if you guys are using 90 Z32 TT - 91-96 Z32 TT/NA calipers becasue there made to be used with 30mm thick rotors and the only year Z32 and application for 26mm rotors is the 90 Z32 NA version and they are aluminum calipers which are used with 26mm rotors.

I could be wrong on the thickness becasue im not exactly sure what year rotors u guys are using just trying to look out for you anyways I seen this info here (i couldn;t find anyhting talking about Cobra rotor thickness just diameter..except this)

http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...t=FMS-M-2300-K

 

Can I use the 1990 300zx 26mm calipers with the cobra rotors?

 

Although I've never tried it, I don't think it would fit well. The 30mm calipers have more offset room and is thicker to accomodate the Cobra rotor width.

 

Still have some in stock.

 

Do I just paypal you for a set?

 

Well I originally paid for brackets I found in a thread but something went wrong and the deal fell through. But Im glad I came across this one.

 

Yes 'Jeff_Iwata@yahoo.com is the paypal. Tell me who you are, what you are buying and your shipping address.

here's a set of calipers if anyone's looking

 

I so need this
