3000GT rotor 300ZX caliper? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Colorado S14 · 04-27-2004, 09:57 PM

I have been looking at the ZTuner.com 3000GT rotor conversion for the 300ZX calipers. They say that the kit will clear TT wheels with a 5mm spacer. If this is the case what size spacer would I need for S14 SE wheels to clear?

ultraprince · 04-27-2004, 10:24 PM

might be the same, the s14 wheels clear the brakes just fine.

YEP they WILL work I have the 92' 3000GT VR-4 rotors on my car with the big calipers and a .321" spacer between the caliper and the knuckle
I work at a Mitsubishi wrecking yard and I was thinking they would work so I tried and they fit great. Don't use the 94-99' VR-4 rotors as they are bigger in diameter by about 18mm

this is the first time i've heard about this. does anyone have pics of the spacers? and what "big calipers" are you talking about?

JackDrift · 04-28-2004, 06:18 PM

big calipers..... (SKyline calipers) at least I think they are they are alum. and they are all smooth, no groves or finns on them, they right bolt on to the s14 knuckle but they are spaced out a little further, and the spacers are just a thick alum, washers placed between the knuckle and caliper

ryan hagen · 04-28-2004, 09:40 PM

yah, i did this too with a 95 vr4 rotor and the ztuner kit.
12 1/4 ish rotor and a 300zx caliper, works nice...............here is a pic of regular z32 30mm vs the vr4 i gotta take some more pics now that its all on my car...

s14 se would fit with a 5mm to 8mm spacer with e ztuner kit, i got 8mm coming later this week to use my se wheels, but i think 5mm would work. i ll let yah know for sure

Make sure to buy QUALITY rotors, otherwise you may have this happen. I was at the track when this happened. It was scary as hell. Be forewarned about getting QUALITY rotors.

thats what happens if your dumb enough to run crossdrilled. the only crossdrilled rotors to EVER get are ones with the holes CAST into the rotor. slots are acceptable from a quality company but if you go cheap your just asking for it. id like to bitch slap the guy who supported the company selling those other rotors.

Old, old news. ZTuner originally did the brackets back in 2000, and since then it's been pretty well known, although the spacing issue is kinda ghey. The hot setup now is to use 13" Cobra rotors. There's less clearance issues. Note that these only work with the 30mm calipers.

Stock-S13 · 01-25-2005, 12:48 PM

But still no brackets...
