q45 calipers w/ 300zxTT rotors

[RG]

has anyone tried using the 300zxtt rotors with the q45 calipers?? specs are pretty close, but will it work??

[smelly240]

why dont you just get Q rotors bc they're the right size???

they're both the same diam - just the q rotors are 28mm and the tt z ones are 30mm so no - they wont work (unless ur rockin old ass pads that have no material left on them. Dont cheese out - get decent rotors and nice pads that FIT.

i have a really good set up already with my z calipers bud! you don't know my story, i have to downgrade.. q45 has crap for rotors and brake pads, THAT is why i'm asking if my Z rotors will work.

[RG]

i'll be the first person i know to lose money while downgrading from 4 piston's to 2 piston sliders :( i wanna keep the cost down to a min. and believe me, i know a thing or 2 about getting proper parts.. i'm sure i spent more than you on this car alone. it's just that money is getting low these days and i wanna do as little as possible to make this work so i can get my car out of the autobody and getting it rolling.

sorry, just had to vent.

[smelly240]

so you think you're a cool guy bc ur downgrading ur brakes??? I went back to q brakes from z32's last year and i dont have any regrets. Porterfield and endless, and ebc all make pads, and brembo ebc and powerslot make rotors...

dont talk shit on the internet... mr spent more than everybody (i hope ur rollin on something baller talkin shit like that, especially when u wanna cut a corner somewhere like ur brakes - just buy some rotors--arent ur wheels baller enough to fit a BBK????)

[RG]

nope, won't clear.

18x10.5 +3 front with a 4.5" lip
18x11.5 +3 rear with a 5.5" lip

clear that you car won't you.

[O3DigitalBath]

clear that you car won't you.

ugh....what?

[smelly240]

then why downgrade mr bigshot? Your "they dont make rotors for a Q" comment is way off, and you wanted to cut a corner in ur brakes (might as well get that megan BBK)

bottom line - u gotta buy rotors,... still...

[RG]

dude, i didn't come on here to argue with you. sorry my comment of "spending a lot of money" affected you the way it did. I came on here asking a simple question about whether it would fit or not. that is all. I just wanted to say i have spent a lot of money as is, and i'm pissed i have to lose my brakes to fit these stupid wheels. i have limited time to get these brakes on and to fit my wide body kit and get it out of the shop. if i can simply put on the q45 calipers and convert my lines back to 240 lines, then i will be happy. otherwise i'd have to change all my rotors, even the backs, which is something i don't feel like doing.
now maybe you are money bags, i don't know. big brakes? where did that all of a sudden come up? i just wanna get on the calipers and see if the z rotors can stay on. can you answer that? without smart ass remarks? that's all i asked. if you don't wanna help, that's fine. you are the type of people who get your kicks trying flame others.. does it make you feel powerful??

i answered you already buddy

then afterward you got salty for whatever reason and vented ur asshole.

if you want to run baller wheels, you shouldn't bitch about spending 80 bucks or wutever on q45 rotors for your q45 calipers

now shut the fuck up, sell your 3z setup, and go to kragens to order the right cheapass rotors

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!! werd

Or get spacers and suck it up.

I'm pretty sure if the Q rotors were meant to work with Z brakes, they would've made them the same width.
