300ZX Brake Upgrade

I'm new to the forum and was hoping you guys could help me out. I'm redoing the brakes on my 1991 Maxima and while I was at It i thought I could do the famous "300zx big brake Upgrade" but I was wondering what exactly needs to be done and purchased?

Thanks!

rotor, calipers, lines, adapter plates.

the first 3 are easy...the last one i'm not sure who else is making them now.

just a hint our brakes are the same as 4th gen ones...sooo if you find something that fits a 4th gen it will fit your car.

Z32 brackets to fit what rotors?


Over the years I know there have been Matt's kits which I want to say used like 6th gen rotors. And also Jeff's kits which of course used the 13" Cobra rotors.

I have the Z32 + Cobra rotor setup on my car. Been running it for at least a decade now with zero issues.

Hi. I make a little adjusted copy of Matt's brackets.



They are used with 12.6" rotor from 6th gen Maxima and 30mm calipers

As far as I was told, 3rd gen knuckle is the same as 4th gen. If that is true - these should work.

Doing the liquidation on last 3 sets I have, they are offered for 159 shipped with bolts and nuts for proper installation or 139 without them. 10.9 grade hardware for bolts and nuts, washers are 8.8 grade.
I have to check what colors I still have, should be black and red. They are aluminum anodized brackets.
