Help on Z32 Brake Upgrade

i Just recently came across a z32 and obtained the calipers, fuel injectors and maf sensor. My question is what do i need to convert the front calipers to the z32 ones.

did you pull the rotors too? if you want to run Z32 calipers you should use rotors for the same car, and you're probably going to have to mill them down as well.

you will probably need maxima-to-z32 front conversion brake lines as well.

You'll need Jeff's (Jeff92SE) brackets if you want to go with larger rotors as well as some hub centric rings for the Cobra rotors. I'm not sure if he's having any made or not at the moment. I'm sure he'll chime in though.

You have 3 options:

1 - Mill 3mm off the radius of some stock Z32 rotors, grab conversion brake lines, make sure your wheels fit over the calipers and drive happy.

2 – Get Jeff’s brackets and hubcentric rings along with the conversion lines, make sure your wheels fit over even bigger brakes and drive happy.

3 – Get a kit from Matt (if he still sells em), make sure your wheels fit over those suckers (he has measurements on his site) and drive happy. http://www.blehmco.com/300ZX_brakes.htm
