brake upgrades for p10?

[primerAL]

Kyle, remember the calipers you sold me a while back? Do you recall if they were designed for 30mm or 26mm rotors? I had many sets of 300ZX and Skyline brake hardware in my garage at one time, it's hard to keep tabs on all of them.

The heft of the Z32 brake upgrade is not as bad as you think. It's only the rotors that are heavier. The Z32 aliminum caliper is not heavier than the stock iron 1-pot caliper.

The main problem is the unique offset requirements because of the fat caliper. That's the reason why this brake upgrade is not for everyone.

One last thing, 300ZX brakes require at least a 15 inch wheel.

30mm rotors.

yeah, yeah.

Yup..that's the reason I am "currently" not looking at doing the Z32 brakes.

Shit, at least a 15" wheel! My 16" wheels is pretty close.

there is an auction on ebay for P10 Brembo crossdrilled and slotted rotors.

this is for 2 front rotors to replace your stock ones, they are not oversized, its a direct fit.

they're lighter, offer better cooling, and stop way better!!!


saw them, and noticed no one bid yet... they're at $110 which is a good price... i'm sure someone here will take em!! hehe...

Racing Brake Fluid (dot 3 or 4) are great for improving pedal feel and braking consistency. Keep in mind that there are two ratings for brake fluid boiling points: wet and dry. THe higher the boiling point the better the hydraulic properties are typically. I chose my brake fluid based on the wet boiling point. I find it hard to believe that the brake system would be free of any and all contaimenents. I run ATE Super Blue racing brake fluid because it has a very high wet boiling point (although not the highest dry boiling point). With any brake upgrade, racing brake fluid (NOT Sillicone based fluids) is a very very good idea. I only run stock brakes on my car (given they are 11" and the car is only 2900 lbs) with decent pads and ate super blue fluid and there really isn't a need for larger brakes (on the street and the track). Instead of looking to spend money on larger rotors and calipers, 95% of people can benefit more from better pads (matching driving style) and better fluid.

If your brake upgrade does not have to come from a sports car?
I hear the G20 can swap or upgrade to the NISSAN Altima brakes
they have 11inch rotors, also the 99 G's and up also have simular brake system.
