13" Cobra rotor adaptor brackets for use with Z32 30mm calipers? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i know they LOOK cool, i just don't think it's worth the trouble to get 'em for most people

and if you want big brakes..get the Zeal multipiece rotor kit, its blingalicious

i've read Def's posts on FA, he runs at Road atlanta, he runs HLSD as well

interesting debate about big swaybar + softer spring rates (Relatively) versus smaller bars (no bars even) + stiff rates, should check it out

We made those brackets for Ginn Motorsports back in the day, but those brackets are actually not a direct fit for the S chassis. I recently re-did the new design for the Z33 track rotors w/ S chassis/Z32 calipers and the new brackets will be ready in a month.

Ah, very cool. Projected price?

Here is a pic of BREMBO brakes on a G35 coupe.

Brembo Brake Rotors:
12.76" x 1.18" ventilated front rotors
13.07" x 0.87" ventilated rear rotors

Standard Brake Rotors:
11.65" x 0.94" ventilated front rotors
11.50" x 0.63" ventilated rear rotors

I actually wish there were more people taking their cars to road courses, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. So...in the meantime, we'll have to figure out how things work for ourselves.

Plus, big rotors look cool

F drift. I'm going all out track whore, massive power, little weight, tight suspension, as much braking as possible. I've been strongly considering McKinney's supra 13" two piece rotor kit, but what I'd really like to do is adapt the whole brembo system from a track edition Z to the S chassis, and not just use the track edition rotors.

Use R33 brembos then, or piece together a wilwood setup.

Splparts.com is coming out with a BBK that allows you to use Z33 (12.75") rotors and brackets with your Z32 calipers. $500 i think, and the Z33 rotors are hubcentric.

what does "BBK" mean?
