    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Can you shoot me a copy of your file? PM me for my email address if you're willing to hook me up with that. I'll at least talk to my dude and see what my price and wait period looks like. If I can get a copy of that file and somebody can hook me up with real numbers for the rings, I can get this...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    If you can get a commitment from 10 buyers, how long until you can produce these and rings?

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    All you need is the rings, right? Take some measurements, and I'm sure somebody can get them made. If somebody can give me exact measurements for the rings, I'll get them made. I just don't have the time to produce the entire kit right now especially if wesbeech can get it done cheaper. I'm...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Thanks! Since wesbeech appears to be making things happen over there, I'm not going to worry about reproducing the nightpager brackets. I've got a few other things going on right now which are going to be getting between me and my Supra, but I'm going to keep experimenting with other brake...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    I'm not overlooking this, trust me. :) I want to get all the parts in front of me and see how it all lines up, which is easy because I work in auto parts. The contact patch for the 300ZX caliper on the 350Z track rotor is a little scary too, imo. My primary goal is to see if these calipers can...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    The important part is that Axxis makes their "Ultimate" ceramic/kevlar pad for them. :) I've been running those for two years on my stock brakes with brembo rotors and besides the fade after a stop or two from 120mph, it's the best braking performance I've ever hoped for. If a more efficient...

    any toyota key works

    My key for my 88 worked in my friends 87. Nobody's key but mine works in my 91. :) And yes, the keys and locks were redesigned for the 89+ models. Collin

    That's a good price, but what about the centering rings? Collin

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    They are from a 1991 - 1995 4Runner 3.0 V6 and 1993 - 1998 T100 4WD. Cost is about $50 + core. I'll let you all know what I discover about this caliper. In the mean time, I'm going to get working on the 300ZX brake kit. I'll talk to my machinist tomorrow and firm things up. Collin

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Alright guys, I'm prepared to start reproducing the "nightpager" brackets along with the proper centering rings to accommodate the 350Z track rotors. This should be a fairly straight forward process since I'll have brackets to start with for cloning purposes and the rings will be easy to measure...

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Can I please get the dimensions of your rings? :) I'm assuming this means that the rings are now pressed on to the front hubs so that aftermarket rotors fit like they were stock?

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Alright, I'll PM wesbeech, and I'll give my machinist a call tomorrow and make sure everything is in line. I just want to make sure that I'm not duplicating efforts here since wesbeech claims to already have a usable blueprint. I'll have to wait for the parts to get to me, set them up and make a...

    I would but blackgamer16 still has all the parts. :)

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Yeah, I'm only talking about the dimensions of the centering rings. Nobody seems to be able to make up their mind on what size the rings need to be to properly center the 350Z rotor on our hubs, so I was just going to measure for myself. Are you still willing to let me borrow your setup so...

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    I think with a little refinement something like that could look good. I kinda like the blue/silver two tone thing too. :) Collin

    Post your Pre-89 bumper thread

    It looks like something off a 240SX. lol Definately a clean look. I'm thinking that it might be custom. Collin

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    Honestly since nobody can agree on what size they need to be I was just going to pick up a set of 350Z track rotors and measure for myself then send the specs to the machinist. That way I know they'll be correct. You've got the right idea, but for something like brakes, I want it to be...

    Fronts only Keep us updated on this? If you can get them done for a better price or faster, there's no sense in me doing the work again. Collin

    Upgraded front brakes 300 zx calipers.

    I like the nightpager kit option for this reason too. I work at an autoparts store, and I like knowing that it will be just as easy finding parts for my new brake setup as it was for the old ones. This setup may not be as good as a BBK with Wilwood calipers, but I think it will work great for me...

    is it authentic or not? how can i tell

    I was thinking the exact same thing... I can also think of worse things to do than a functional hood and wing. The end pieces of the stock wing need to go, though.
