Brad, your rotor looks correct.

No I don't want to see pics of your cheap rotors that saw some time on a drill press and mill.

As I said, they usually go against one another on the $$$ stuff.



That said, do Z33/STi rotors even have directional vanes? It's somewhat uncommon on Japanese cars.

Pffft, JDM son, what do you know

But on a serious note, I can attest to this. Usually the external 'slotting' doesn't match internal.

Put the one marked L on the left, and the one marked R on the right.

When in doubt, contact the mfr for clarification.

EDIT: If anyone has this question below, Ali answered it: You must drill into your calipers and make new holes, or as I like to call it...not worth the time when I can buy Z32. Now selling EVO Calipers with pads + rotors if anyone wants


I have PM'ed 5 people with no luck.

Does anyone have front and rear conversion brackets for EVO 8/9 Calipers? Also need conversion lines

Furthermore:

I also need z32 rear rotors
z32 BMC
Z32 e-brake assy.

but that's unrelated.

WOW you must not know how to read and use Google. Shit has been covered soo many times. Why are you even posting this question in here? If not all your questions most of your questions are answered in the thread alone.

FURTHERMORE your a TOOL for not knowing use SEARCH and GOOGLE.

Here is the bracket for the front: http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/30040...-brackets.html

Write-UP: with info on which bracket he used.
http://zilvia.net/f/s-chassis/449103...bos-240sx.html

TOOK me 2 seconds on Google to pull that up. Rear EVO brembos won't fit unless you re-drill the caliper. Page 15 is where the info about the rear evo brembos.

And if you didn't know, Z32 rear calipers not only work better since it has more surface area but also allows you to keep your e-brake if you decide to run the Z32 rear drum assembly. Yea you don't get the bling of having a Brembo, but you don't need to redrill or do any un-necessary modifications to have your rear brakes/ebrake work. Those reasons are why no one makes a rear conversion adapter for the evo brembo caliper. Not to mention if you had read through this thread you would know rear sti brembo calipers bolt on if you want that BREMBO bling.

You can use z32 s/s brake conversion lines on the brembos.

I got it, as for the rear calipers, no solution but to make new mounting holes onto the calipers. Btw im done doing my newest setup, sti gold with evo x rotors. Also made adjustments to do evo 8-9 front calipers w evox rotors too.

Eek:
Read my edit before your post, kill yourself.
Also, this is not just about the STi Brembo swap if you read the thread, so kill yourself again.

When you're done killing yourself, please realize I was asking about how to mock up rear brembos, I already got the info on the fronts, so kill yourself a third time.

florante rea: I saw that ali 555 had to do that, and thus my edit. I think I'm going to do what has been most recommended on page 6 with the brembo caliper up front and the complete z32 rear setup outback, thank you. Will@PerformanceAutoworks says he has brackets to do just this in stock

You should kill YOURSELF for not knowing how to READ! Your INFO was in the SAME thread you posted your QUESTION which shows how stupid you really are. Go run into a knife. Do you need a write up on how to do that too?

Yes, could you create a DIY for it?

Good call on the Wilwood spot caliper. I'm almost definitely gonna go that route whenever I get around to upgrading the rear brakes.

very observant.

[KOME]

Running the Tougue Factory bracket with EVO 9 calipers up front. The pads and rotors sit perfectly and wear evenly.

I've never tried any other bracket so i can't say this is better but it sure as hell serves it's purpose. I mean it's a bracket... not much to it lol.

Have you made any brackets for the evo 8-9 calipers w/ evo 10 rotors?

[florante rea]

Yes ^^^ i have the evo x bracket setup, my current brake setup i have sti w evo x rotors

[killer240]

you need my rear sti calipers to go with your fronts

Where did u get the bracket ? I was thinking of going evo X Calipers and with evo x project mu rotors What brake lines did ya use?

[qwerth]

i plan i running 1 1/16 bmc with evo 9 brembo front calipers with stock s14 rear

are my rear calipers going to have too much/or little fluid running to it

or would a na z31 bmc a better choice?

I used to have exact same set up for about 3 years. One of my rear caliper failed at last of 3rd year but not sure because of the fluid issue but it was original 14 year old caliper.

However I did countless track time with it with no problem.

One possible issue I might add would be, since your front and rear caliper sizes are significantly different. you will feel much unbalanced braking.. To me, I felt like I didn't have rear brake at all.. (with an exaggeration)

BTW I have a full conversion that I will put it for sale soon. New slotted rotors, New Stoptech pads, new TF Brackets and of course Evo 9 Calipers.

[qwerth]

^thankss! exact answer i was looking for

what kind of brake booster did you have?

and how was your brake feel? i'll be using the one that come with automatic s14's

I had 17/16" Z32 BMC and S14 LE A/T one before that.

I loved the feeling of brakes compare to Z32 or the stock S14 SE brakes. But of course Z32 would been more than I needed.

The pedal felt not too firm.

Hey guys, sorry for bumping up a super old thread, but I recently acquired a Project Mu Front and Rear calipers for the 350z / z33 application.

For fronts, I understand that the holes would have to be redrilled, but for the rears, is it just fabricating a bracket just to make it fit? Or would I have to completely replace the ebrake drum kit? I currently have a full z32 front and rear swap, so my drums have already been replaced.

Let me know!! i'm curious as to how I can do this.

Its been covered, not in this thread, but to break it down for you, YES the FRONT 350z/G35 Calipers (OEM and Brembo) will fit all s-chassis with the slight modification of drilling the caliper ears to accept the larger caliper bolts that are used on the 350z/G35 calipers.

As for the Rears, it has been confirmed they will not fit the mounting points are way off and would require a custom bracket or what not. Most people end up using STI rear brembo calipers to match the front if your going rock brembo's. BUT in your case since you are have Project Mu, you will need to fab up another bracket or sell them off. I would prob. suggest just selling the ENTIRE setup and get a ENDLESS kit or a Project Mu kit for a Z32/R32/r33 since that would be a direct bolt on affair.

The rear calipers from EVO or STi? I got a set from EVO, just wondering if brackets required for the rear or just spacer?

[joefresh]

Is it normal the oem nissan caliper bolts are too long to use from the spindle to bracket? Nobody mentions it but mine look to be about .75" too long hitting the caliper when i put them on and cant tighten the bolts.
