newborn240 · 05-22-2009, 07:28 PM

so i get the whole whole Z32 brake conversion and using the front 350z track edition rotors.

but i got 1 question for the front brake set up.
can i use any extension brackets for the front calipers to be able to use the 350z track edition rotors?

now for the rear set up, i havent really heard of it. i have read threads about these but all they talk about is using 350z track ed rotors for front calipers, not rears. does that means you cant use a 13" rotor for the rear?(WTF)
also, i never seen/heard of putting an extension brackets for the rear calipers so you can use bigger rotors..

im not sure if ima go wit 350z rotors or cobra ones.. i dont think it matters.

If you read threads about 350z brakes you'd know there's extension brackets out there by SPL and Cosmosracing (spelling), the former of which is no longer in production.

The rear brakes don't bolt up, and you don't need a 13 inch rotor anyways.

Frankly, 300zx brakes all around are more than enough for you - hell, i doubt you currently "need" anything than refreshed stock 240sx brakes and new tires.

They probly don't line up right with the rotor, they will eventually fail but who cares they're only brakes.

i have them. there great but i am going to ditch the brackets eventually. They hang off the rotor, so realistically its not doing that much. if i didnt spend huge money on track rotors they would be gone already. Let me know if your interested they have about 200 miles on them.

Not to thread jack but has anyone ever done a rear brake conversion with the rear Brembo calipers & rotors from a mt G35 coupe/track edition 350z ?
Will the fit on the Z32 e brake assy's ??
Will the mount up to the rear Z32 e brake assy/spindle ??
