CNC machined bracket to bolt 370z Akebono Calipers to 95 thru 08

This just changed my life! A bracket made to fit the Akebono Calipers to the maxima. You will either need to machine down the factory 14" 370z rotors or you can just use Mitsubishi Evo X GSR 13.78″ (350 MM) rotors. This opens up so many new possibilities!

These are made for the 300zx but as most know will bolt right up to our cars.

thanks @ChrisMan287 I did the 996 front / rear calipers on the m3 with CSL rotors so for the maxima it seems fitting lol I found the calipers for $48 each (with core charge) but realistically $250 said and done if I don't return a core which im gonna have to ask about. EvoX 350mm rotors (Ill have to make sure the center bore is the same) and the adaptors is everything ? no line adaptors ? I take it now is the time to go stainless lol anyone do the rear calipers yet ? Even if I have to eliminate the E brake (since its a auto (not by choice it fell into my lap lol))

also @ChrisMan287 theres 3 other adaptors for the 300zx for "front big brake kits" for dif rotors and such, I take it I should just stick to the adaptor that was shared above and the evo 350mm rotors?

I can't confirm that the other brackets will work but I can assume that they will. You should be able to use stock lines but it won't hurt to switch to stainless.

No rear options that I can think of...
