Z32 Brake swapp ROTORS - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

KOUKIboy · 04-20-2007, 05:56 PM

What up fellow Zilvians, Im a newbie in this brake swapp delio, I recently purchased a pair of Z32 calipers, and I want to buy some project U Rotors (5 lug) but I wans wodering if the S14 Rotors (Project U) will fit the Z32 calipers, or will I have to buy the 300ZX calipers, because they both look the same to me, but I know that apples are not the same as oranges.
Thanks for your help, and KEEP IT JDM.

z32 calipers = z32 rotors.

You'd better know whether you got 26mm or 30mm calipers though.

Turbo = 30mm, NA = 26mm.

It's Project Mu (that's a lowercase Greek character, means coefficient of friction in physics).

This has been covered countless times, and is accessable through the [SEARCH] button.

Keep it JDM?

Okay, sounds to me your brake bias is really off whack, did you switch out the master cylinder for a Z32 unit as well? It should not lock the fronts up unless you are purposely slamming on the brakes.

GSXRJJordan · 04-20-2007, 06:14 PM

Ugh Eddie, change the title on that Project Mu page... it says Project U also!

"It's hard to stop without locking up the fronts" means you have:
1] horrible brakes in the back
2] horrible camber in the front
3] horrible brake bias (wrong M/C for your calipers)
4] typical internet exaggeration syndrome
5] unbelievably bald front tires
6] any combination of the above

KOUKIboy · 04-20-2007, 06:43 PM

Yeah I got 26mm calipers, which Project MU Rotors should I get.
Thanks.

93 240 s13 · 04-20-2007, 07:15 PM

i have not changed the m/c yet so i suppose thats why

Z32 masters are about $200 for a new oem Nissan one.

Thanks.

You are VERY limited in rotor selection if you have the 26mm units, you might find a good deal on ebay somewhere.

Inland180 · 04-21-2007, 11:32 AM

I don't think project Mu makes rotors for 26mm z32 caliper.
