Sportmax 501's and Z brakes? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

240silvia · 03-13-2007, 11:24 PM

I tried searching with no answer. Does anyone know if they will clear Z brakes in the front? I know that the 002's will not. I just haven't found an answer for these. Anyone have any idea? Or has anyone tried it?

240silvia · 03-14-2007, 08:07 PM

anyone have any ideas?

240silvia · 03-21-2007, 11:32 PM

anyone yet? Someone has to have an idea

you will need a 25 or a 30 mm spacer.
have fun with your neg rep

Josh K. · 03-21-2007, 11:55 PM

nice reason for a neg rep!

240silvia · 03-22-2007, 07:08 PM

lol, haters...... And fyi jackass. The 002's cleared the coils by miles, just not the z brakes. Since the 501's have a different spoke design, I was thinking they might work. But, since you are full of shit, and not and good info, I guess I'll keep searching. :-)

Sportmax thread in Zilvia = catastrophe.

Have a good day.

irax · 03-22-2007, 07:45 PM

what do you mean full of shit? with a 35mm spacer you can run anything and fucking clear zbrakes unless the fucking spokes go inword from where the hub face is.... full of shit my ass i never said shit about clearing coilovers did i?
idiot.

240silvia · 03-22-2007, 07:46 PM

well i'm aware of that. I just figured that someone could put the smartass comments away for one thread and give me a real answer. But, like you said, I guess with Zilvia, that's fucking impossible.

I just didn't need your comments. A 25-30mm spacer is just ridiculous. To even say that makes you the idiot. Rep=meaningless to me. So in other words, you and your neg rep towards me = fail. And I've had many arguments on this damn board and I'm just done with them. So if anyone has anything positive to say reguarding my original question, post away, if not, just please keep your mouth shut.

It would probably be helpful to give a size....

irax · 03-22-2007, 08:12 PM

its like this, the z brakes need about 27mm clearance from brake rotor face to spoke. you never mentioned what offset your wheels were, though as high as a 35mm offset will clear zbrakes and even negative offset wheels will not, you just have to do the math and make sure there is roughly ~30mm (little more than an inch) of clearance between rim spoke and mounting face

240silvia · 03-22-2007, 11:29 PM

well given that, the size is 15x8 +15. I assumed that since this is a sport max thread, you guys would of known. Also, I need to find someone who has tried this. I know you guys can give me.... "well they might work". But I hate to spend the money if they don't work.
