I was hoping to get a quick answer from some one on if Matt is still selling the brackets, etc. for the BBK upgrade. I tried to email him but it was kicked back to me.

Is there any one else that can help me do this upgrade?

Thanks!

 

So sales@mattblehm.com was returned undeliverable? Did you try his personal email or PMing him?

 

Yes I tried sales@mattblehm.com and it was returned undeliverable. But I have not tried to reach him here, do you have the info?

I want to buy these Z32 Calipers off of an orger right now and I need to know if I can still do this setup.

 

I'm not going to put his info out there, but you can find the info on his site.

And on the org: http://forums.maxima.org/members/matt93se.html

 

As of 2 months ago he was.

Last time I checked, Jeff also still had his brackets.

 

Thank You!

 

Dumb question I am sure, but who is Jeff?

thanks!

 

[/IMG]Also, does anyone know if these 350Z rims will clear the BBK upgrade?

 

the 18 inch 6spoke stock rims clear the z32 with 12.6 inch rotors no problem, not sure about the 13s tho, i havent tried

 

They are the 2006 350Z Anniversay Addition wheels. They are stagered fronts are 8" wide @ +30mm offset and rears are 8.5" wide @ +33mm offset.

 

Can anyone else add to this in regards to both questions?

 

Note that Jeff's brackets are to use the calipers with 13" Cobra rotors and Matt's are to use with 12.6" 6th Gen rotors. Sorry if that was obvious, but that's a pretty important detail. Haha.

 

Nevermind, that was in the link included above.

 

This is how Matt replied to my PM request for the $150 relocation brackets (not Z32).

PM him. He will reply within 24 hours and likely has the parts.

 

Hey guys,

the Z32 front brackets are still available and in stock.
I'm having a helluva time finding a machinist for the rear kits that doesn't want to screw me on price and minimum quantity orders, so the rear kits are still out of stock. Eventually I'll get that sorted out though.

I don't know why sending to sales@mattblehm.com didn't work, as I use that domain for all of my personal as well as tech correspondence and haven't had any problems lately.

From now on, please send any sales inquiries to sales@blehmco.com.
sales@mattblehm.com is still there, but it simply forwards over to the blehmco.com email address anyway.

 

Any thoughts on which way you would go?

 

dumb question?... what do you guys do about the spare tire? i like having my spare, do you use a full size spare or just ditch it and go AAA.

 

If you can fit a 350Z spare back there, that's the easiest option.

What I've done when I had a flat on the front was to jack up the whole side of the car (I keep a aluminum floor jack in the car, not the screw jack.. you can do it with the screw jack, just only do one corner at a time.

Anyway, pull off the full-size rear tire and put the donut on the back corner.
Then put the good full size tire on the front and toss the flat in the trunk and you're good.

(I've got a bigger rear setup, and the factory donut still fits with it even, so I'm good.. just takes a few minutes longer to change two tires...)

 

the 350z spare will it clear the blemcho 12.6 front upgrade using stock calipers for the 5th gen?

 

Definitely should.
Or a spare from an '04 Max, since that's essentially what you're putting on the car.

 

thanx for the help.
