300zx brake calipers

[wielkiwac]

anyone knows if i can use 300zx brake calipers on maxima.
i want to have stock rotors, will i need any adapters?? will it fit in 16" rims??

[Fishstick]

It will not clear the stock 16" Maxima alloys. You will need 17's, and not all 17's can clear.

[Mr Grey]

Some guys are going with the J30 Q45 brakes now days. They clear more rims than 300zx. I'm not sure what measurements are though........

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

guys, he's trying to use thiese with the stock maxima rotors not with 300zx rotors

either way, there are no adapters that I know of to use 300 calipers with maxima rotors. Also, why even bother? Yeah, they are 2 piston calipers but how will hat help the stock 11" rotors? How will a 13" caliper(what are 300zx rotors, size wise?) work with a 11" caliper.

Tell me more

[Mr Grey]

I don't know all the details yet. I didn't see how it ended, but there was thread on the org about possibly using Jeff92Se BBK adapter plates, along with 6 gen rotor, and J30 Calipers. J30 Calipers are 2 piston 1 way as opposed to 300zx which are essentially 4 piston (2 front, 2 back). That's what makes the caliper smaller.

[walec05]

and price wise, the J30 calipers are about $35 each and the 300zx are about $89 a piece. brackets are not included.

[I30tMikeD]

I have what you need for a J30 caliper swap, besides the calipers.

Brand new J30 Brembo rotors, the proper spacer, and even a modified torque member if you want to give me your stock one.

[wielkiwac]

whats the different between J30 calipers and 300zx??

you got me there mike, no idea what the difference is.

[walec05]

^^hey dave, i didnt ask the question. mike did.

the difference is that the J30 has 2 pistons and the 300zx has 4 pistons

[wielkiwac]

i like 4 not 2;)

[walec05]

4 are better than 2 anyday.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

don't know what you mean.

btw, you're both stupid, yeagh I said it. What do you have done to your car that you need 4 calipers to stop it? Answer, not nearly enough.

[wielkiwac]

dont call me stupid

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

what do you want me to call you?

[wielkiwac]

what do you want me to call you?

my name is mike

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

well, my name is mike, what you and paul were saying is stupid. yes 4 is better than 2 but why put it on a car that doesn't even need 2 pistons?

[wielkiwac]

there are to thinks why i want 300zx calipers:
1. little bit better braking distance,
2. they look sweet

[wielkiwac]

here we go guys.

[Biggs]

looks hot!!! paint them !!! how much these cost you again?

[wielkiwac]

they not installed yet!! i just wanted see if rim will clear it. to finish project i need to get new rotors 272mm x 26mm, brake pads and 5mm spacers

[walec05]

looks nice mike. hope to see it in person when its done.

[Fishstick]

here we go guys.

That loooks hot. I would go with RED, but then again my car is black..

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

what ever happened to the gold/bronze paint we bought last year?

[wielkiwac]

anybody knows where to get 272mm rotors??

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

is that the size of 300zx rotors?

[wielkiwac]

no. 300zx are 280mm. maximas and zx rotors dont fit. bracket holding caliper is little bit too close to hub. to make it fit i need smaller rotors or shave calipers.

[Brian]

that doesn't make sense.
what bracket???
the only mod needed is to shave 3mm off the 300Z rotor's outside edge.

[Ovaltine Jenkins]

Yeah, what B said.

[wielkiwac]

that doesn't make sense.
what bracket???
the only mod needed is to shave 3mm off the 300Z rotor's outside edge.

yep you right.
but for me it was hard to explain it.
do you guys know where i can shave rotors?? i called couple shops and they dont do it:bawling:

[Biggs]

murray's do it i believe.

[wielkiwac]

murray's do it i believe.

i spoke to walec5 (he works there) and they dont do it.

[Brian]

I don't know anyone who will do it.
brembo used to have an online catalog with the disc diameter, bu no more do i find it

[wielkiwac]

i be still looking

[wielkiwac]

its D O N E

will post some new pictures soon

[Brian]

so did you shave the rotors?

[wielkiwac]

yes i did.
i found shop 2 minutes from my house :)
i didnt have a chance to test them. its raining nd abs goes on all the time

[walec05]

^^^thats not good if it goes on all the time. you should just turn it off perminantly.

[wielkiwac]

^^^thats not good if it goes on all the time. you should just turn it off perminantly.

i mean it goes on when its wet and i press brake pedal harder.
but there no issue with normal braking

[walec05]

OH, i thought that it was constantly going off, when you were normally brakeing. sorry my bad.

got any new pics. up.

[wielkiwac]

i wanted teke them yesturday but f..ing weather condition.
i will take new pictures when it stop raining.

BTW. why dont you get your a$$ and see my car. its couple minutes driving:smashfreak:

[walec05]

oh ya. i forgot your right down the street. hey stop by my house and show off you stopping power. im too lazy to drive and my car is being worked on, im coverting it back to stock. fun

[wielkiwac]
