300zx brake calipers

wielkiwac · 04-06-2006, 01:58 PM

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??

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

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........

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.

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.

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

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.
