hey i just bought my q 45 and rebuild kit wit crosed drilled and slotted rotors.....my question is for those who are running q45 fronts brakes with 300zx rear brakes, what is the brake bias like and how well do u think this setup is for track/drifting like on a scale of 1-10 10 being the best...i.e. stopping power, brake fade, etc....
i have searched and researched some more...but i havnt really come across anybody who is running the q45 fronts wit 300zx/z32 rear brakes.

I ran it on my old s13.

All you see is rotors behind the stockers, hahaha.
Drove it at Sttreets of Willow with Endless SS-S pads and didn't experience any kind of brake fade. Really good stopping power and the brake bias didn't feel off at all.

sweet...thnx sounds like im gonna have a great braking setup....i think i actually seen u r car before at willow....i live literally right down the street from willow springs..the brake pads i do have are EBC not sure what kind though but supposed to be good.....do you guys recommend upgrading the BMC...and to which BMC....

or would the stock BMC be fine wit say SS brake lines or would the stock brake lines be sufficient enough to help wit the brake bias.....or possibly doing SS brake like to either the front or to the rear only????

the master cylinder might be a bit small making the brakes feel a bit spongy and require more force to stop. SS lines will not affect the brake bias what so ever, unless you have dangerously damaged rubber lines.

From what I have read that will be a rear bias'd setup. 300zx front and rear is still rear biased compared to stock and the setup with the closed to stock bias is 300zx rears/300zx front calipers with 350z rotors.

it should be fine for driving but if it is an issue for you, you would need to install a proportioning valve.

would you guys recommend upgrading BMC...and to what BMC....z32 or should i upgrade to a q45 infiniti BMC???

The stock one felt fine with me. What was interesting is that I had a bit of mush when I had only the Q45s up front. Once I installed the Z32s in the rear, much of the mush went away and the pedal feel was very close to stock.

does anybody know if the q45 MBC would just cross right over to the 240 without anymodifications....and if its worth it.....or should i jsut stick wit the stock BMC adn everything would be just fine....opinions..?
