Ok guys....i have had the 300zx BBK with the 300zx Rotors for about a year and i have finally decided to upgrade the rotors.
I have no idea why i didnt do this at first....simply because braking seems to be so much better now, and also......It looks soo Great! here are some pics of the BBK..

 

Looks good man.

 

overall.....i think the cobra rotors 13" are sooo worth it!
Thanx everyone that answered all my questions through pm's.
Next thing.....painting the calipers.

 

Use the G2 kit to paint the calipers. What wheels are those?

 

enkei RS-5 wheels

 

That looks hot man. Those calipers are gonna look sick when you paint them

 

That's Hot, job well done.

 

damn peter. looks nice ! you have to help me do mine when i get it

 

Great job

 

Looks nice, is that BrianV's old car?

 

Looks good cant wait till I can do this. Did you powder coat the wheels?

 

Awesome setup. What do you have in the rear? Looks stock.
Just wondering, do calipers get stolen?

Jae

 

Peter that looks awesome man ... good to see your still modding ... how are your teins holding up ? ...

im a brake upgrade noob, although I can change my own pads and rotors .. im confused, the cobra rotors fit due to the same size bolt pattern for the wheels and then its just the 300zx caliper/pads ? ... I definitely need to do this

 

Very Very nice. I have a couple of Questions if you don't mind
Do you have any pics or Jeffs? BBK brackets and the hubcentric rings?
what is the offset on those wheels? are you using spaces?

 

Nice upgrade, looks good on the car too!

 

Looks damn nice, will looks even better when the paint gets on the calipers.

 

Very nice!! I can't wait to get my Cobra rotors on. Should be in a few weeks.

 

sorry guys, i dont have pics of the brackets, but i remember 2 of the bolts were touching my rotor so i had to add an additional washer to make it clear.

for the cobra rotors, i had them redrilled and i put the rings on, but for some reason, it did not sit right. so right now im just on the cobra rotors redrilled to fit my car better, you need the rings if you dont redrill but it is still recommended if you redrill.

 

Looks good, especially once you get those calipers painted.

 

looks hottt.

paint the calipers bronze ftw

 

would you mind snapping some pics of those rings?

 

dang thats nice about how much did they run ur pocket? any who get some paint on them and some more pics.

 

Wow very nice. Yet it barely fits the diameter of the wheels. How much did you pay for everything?

 

sorry i didnt really understand, so you DO have spacers? and whats the offset of those wheels?

 

Lookin good. I need to put mine back on my turbo car.

 

looks good man :thumbups:

 

dame peter that look sick time to paint the calipers

 

Maximus! I told you you would love it! What took you so long?

Dude. I've sold probably over 100 sets of these things. What is your obsession over the brakcets and rings?

 

Reasons like this so i can be prepared

 

May I ask what pictures would have done to "prepare" you? Also I believe you were asking for pictures before this thread was created. Not too sure how it would help but I'll try to get a picture up when the next batch of rings come in

But I'd like to see pictures though. Because he never really describes "doesn't sit right" really means.

 

nicely done! those rotors have some weight to them dont they? whats the smalles size rim thatl fit for your setup? 16's?

 

17s is the absolute minimum wheel size. Even then, I've heard of one or two 17" wheels not fitting (dia-wise) because of some rim design.

 

very nice im giving sum thought to do a bbk to my max sooner or later.....nice upgrade

 

Damn Peter, that's a nice setup there. Now you can stop like a BMW. I'm gonna be hitting you up soon for an HID Kit. Also, I may be able to send you some Starbucks coupons, like maybe a whole booklet of drink certificates!

 

When approximately is the next batch coming in?? Will be purchasing the rings/brackets ASAP.

 

you know when i put the rings on, there was just way too much space in between the bracket and my caliper so i did not put them on.
i did get the rotor redrilled though, and it seems to fit well.

im curently running 17x7.5 on it and i was very skeptical if it would fit or not, and it does fit (thank goodness)
for everyone that doesn't know if it would clear their wheels or not......17's is the minimum for this kit to fit under the inner barel of the wheel. but clearance of the spoke is also another thing.
doesn't matter what offset your wheels are, because if the spoke design is off, it will not fit. do a lot of research before putting these on!!!

the whole set up. i dont remember how much it cost, i got the calipers with the 300zx rotors first, and with the new rotor and brake pads, cost me about 160. brackets i had long time ago. so i really forgot how much i spent total, but ball park....maybe $600-$700?

 

4DRSpeed i have extra rings and brackets if you are intersted....pm me.
If anyone has questions on the install or anything about the bbk, just ask ill be glad to help.

 

When you had them redrill the cobra rotor was it because the Diameter the of the holes for the cobra studs are larger than the nissan stud holes? Did you just take both rotors to them and the lined it up and drilled it that way or did you do it your self?

 

Sexy, grats on finally putting them on.

 

zack342 - the wholes are redrilled because the cobra studs are a lot bigger than the maxima, so its redrilled to fit more snug on our car.

boostlogic - your sig looks really clean and nice, i really like it.
