1)How does $50+ shipping sound, i think that would be fair.
Sounds fair

2)Should I include hardware? This will increase price a bit depending on how much i can source the hardware for.
Yes

3)Should i have the option to have them powder coated for an extra $10? By request only.
Nope

4)Would you be interested in a kit that comes with rotors? Brembo blanks, slotted, or drilled and slotted depending on preferance. I will have to figure out pricing if so.
Maybe, and two-piece would be a cool option as well

Maybe that will give you a better idea of what the hubcentric ring for the rotor does, and how it looks.

In all honesty, most 240 owners are cheapasses. While a few people will run 2 piece rotors and such, most just want bigger front rotors for looks (most likely) or better bias on the track (me). Both sets of people are far more likely to buy your kit if they can run readily available $40 rotors, rather than $120 powerslots or $250 2 piecers. Also, since there are already at least 2 sources for brackets to run Z33 track rotors, I'd say you should try to get the cobra ones done first. I'd be up for a set.

EDIT: Rockauto.com, great site, has Raybestos PG Plus Cobra rotors for $25.99 each. Can't beat that! I'll take rotors that are 10x cheaper any day, whether for street use or track. Even if the cheap ones are crappier and need to be replaced more often, there's no way the more expensive rotors are gonna come close to being that good a value. Check honda-tech's road race/autocross forum, most of the guys doing honda challenge, etc just run autozone blanks. If you want some fragile drilled/slotted bling or $$$$ 2 piece rotors, go for it, but I think most people here would be better served with inexpensive blanks.

EDIT 2:
1.) $50 plus shipping is fair
2.) Included hardware would be nice, you can probably buy in bulk and save everyone money
3.) Powercoated only if necessary for rust prevention, so it really depends what material you go with.
4.) Personally, I'd source my own rotors to save money.

^ in that pic, the hole pattern/size looks horrible since its bigger then the stud.. so it would really relie on the hubcentric ring.. could that become a problem?? and the hat spacing looks more flat in that pic, is this true? it looks like it would bring the caliper further out, which might have a effect on some wheels. Please confirm thanks

the bracket will bring the caliper out about 10mm more than the regular z32 setup, this is because the cobra rotors have a different offset. this can be remedied by the use of wheel spacers. not you will have to use 17" wheels or bigger to use the 13" rotors anyhow. The hubcentric ring will keep the rotor centered. as for the lug holes..this is something that shouldn't be a problem but i may do "lugcentric" rings instead just to keep everything centered keep everything nice and tight instead of there being any type of slop in the rotor. this would be a more expensive option just cause you would have to get rings instead of two. but i may use hubcentric rings and one "lugcentric" ring to keep it tight...only problem there is the balance of the rotating assembly. so its either one or the other.

This will be a problem for some people such as myself. I need something that won't protrude any more. Does anyone know if the Z33 rotors have the same hat offset as Z32?

the z33 rotors are the same offset as the z32 so it wont bring the caliper out any further. z33 brackets will prolly be closer to $100, and z33 rotors are a bit more expensive than cobra rotors.

I say make the Cobra kit; you can add +2 sets for the confirmed buyer list (if you make them).

1)How does $50+ shipping sound, i think that would be fair.
Sounds fair to me.

2)Should I include hardware? This will increase price a bit depending on how much i can source the hardware for.
Make it an option?

3)Should i have the option to have them powder coated for an extra $10? By request only.
I'd take the powdercoat option for sure.

Hardly a bit more expensive, the cheapest Z33 rotors available cost cost about $100 more EACH than the cheapest Cobra rotors available. That starts to add up real quick when you're tracking your car and burning through rotors. If you start looking at 2 piece rotors, for example RacingBrake, it seems that Z33 rotors might be a little cheaper, but very few people will actually run such rotors. Besides, there are already several options for Z33 rotor brackets, both from a reputable store and from ebay. Why try to compete with them when you can make something entirely different that will attract a new subset of customers? Give us an alternative to $$$ SPL brackets with expensive Z33 rotors.

the problem i see with pushing the caliper outward would be the brake line issue.. some lines might already be stretching out at full steering locks.

What about making the bracket to adapt 3000gt rotors? thats a known swap for z32s.. would making a bracket for that rotor be any more costly compared to teh z33 bracket?

That's so hot. Is the caliper closer to the strut tower? The fact of stretched SS lines is not something I want.

I dunno, I think its gonna be hard to compete against the SPL kit

you're pricing atleast $100 for the caliper bracket, which leaves $330 for Z33 track edition rotors.

yeah you can spend about $200 for some decent rotors, but why not just spend the extra for some PowerSlots

For the price of the SPL kit, you get everything including bolts, washers, and everything you need to do the upgrade minus the Z32 calipers and conversion lines

i just see it easier to buy it as a kit, rather than piecing it together to save a few bucks imho

it would be a great seller for $50, but for $100...you might not make your money back on R & D

You can get Powerslot rotors from PDM for $130/each. Only $30 more per rotor than Z32 rotors.

wilfonzo: if you do a 4 lug redrill on the cobra rotors you wont be needing the hub rings because you will be drilling the exact size lug holes to keep the rotor solid and centered.
I think i may steer clear of the hub rings and go with spacers for the lugs/lug holes on the cobra kit which will eliminate any possibility of the rotors sliding because of the play on the lug holes. and it will keep the rotor solid and centered.

Slidin240Wayz: on the R33 caliper brackets the caliper has to sit offset, its about 25* either up or down depending on which way you put the brackets. I dont forsee brake line stretching to be a problem, but if it does end up being an issue i will look into brake line extensions or longer brake lines.

Siizzzoooo: That is why i originally wanted to stick with the cobra rotors, but what i want to do is supply something for a cheaper price with great quality as an option to other kits, so if that means me making a kit that is similar to spl I will do it. Spl sells their brackets only, for $179 so mine for $100 doesnt sound horrible, and if i get a good source on rotors(which i am in the works with) I may be able to offer a full kit for cheaper than what spl sells. maybe even conversion lines and calipers, although that would put my kit in a price range that wouldnt sell as much and i dont want a bunch of stuff sitting around when i can move what you guys want. Thank you for your oppinion, i am trying to take in as much critisism and oppinions as possible, these parts are for you guys, i want to make what you guys want and make it reasonable.

again. z33 ftw.... With the cobras, sloppy stud holes, which is really bad idea.. you have to remmber there will be that back and forth slop on and off the brake, but with even with the hub centric now its putting extreme stress.....Also the rotor face is too shallow, people allready have problems with brake clearance as it is....

id say, z33 let the buyer worry about rotors.. I allready found me a set...cheap!

The cobra setup could be so cheap with the right rotors, I don't see why you wouldn't do it. Plus there's NO COMPETITION. Seems like a no-brainer to me. From the pics you posted, the brackets look much simpler as well, which is nice. Just have to figure out a good solution to make them XXX-centric.

3000gt VR4 Rotors.. since they are from a japanese car, my guess is the bore might be simular and shouldnt have the nasty stud holes.. and the back spacing is prolly jus as bad as the cobra rotors.. but these rotors are cheap too so I would suggest these.

well the stud hole slop wont be a problem on the cobra rotors cause i am going to do spacers that will make the cobra lug holes smaller to fit the nissan studs instead of hubcentric rings. there will be no slop and they will be centered. I will look into 3000gt vr4 rotors as an option.
