300z brakes on stock s13 se rims?

[teamfusion]

i want to do 300zx brakes up front on my s13 but i have stock s13 se rims, will the calipers fit the stock rims?

[240Driver39]

i swore i had made a thread with pictures and such...but anyhow

26mm 1990 NA zbrakes will fit up front on these s13 se wheels. The ribbing on the backside of the wheel (seems early dohc s13's have the "right"wheels) varies and i cant find the comparison shot, but like i said, they do clear these..they will clear the others with a small spacer.

Dont use the 15" wheels.

1) Not enough ventillation

2) Dont use the Z32 calipers unless you do front, rear and master cylinder. Your bias will be off.

3) Not enough traction with the 15" wheels/tires. For Z32 brakes, you'll want wider/sticker setup.

Die.

i forgot which SE wheels.. 30MM twinturbo calipers. i think there was a 5mm spacer in there. I dont remember

[skylinekin]

my 26mm clear with a 5mm spacer.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

no one said anything about the rears,
and hypertek, are those the 30mm calipers, i wanna try this setup

[insanequickness]

are you putting the brakes on stock car?
cause if so, why?

[Touring240]

26mm cleared mine with no spacers

[JesusFreakDrifter]

do you have pix of the rear z brakes clearing the s13 wheels.touring240 or skylinekin

[chmercer]

why would you ever want to upgrade your brakes if you are rolling 15 inch wheels

[Kn1ves]

give him benefit of the doubt

a) he has a good deal coming up or

b) brakes are shot, might as well upgrade them now and get it out of the way

[smelly240]

do you have pix of the rear z brakes clearing the s13 wheels.touring240 or skylinekin

look two posts above yours - and you'll see one - hypertek posted it

Im with chmercer and ixfxi on this one - if ur upgrading the brakes - u should have changed your wheels/tires to something larger first... its actually less safe

[240trainee]

That would be the front, not the rear. I have rear z brakes, but looking how close the caliper is on the 16" z32 wheel, I am doubtful as to wether a 15" would clear a rear z brake. But I haven't had a 15" 5 lug wheel to try. Might have to steal the oem meshies off my friends crown vic one day.

[JesusFreakDrifter]

ok. i already have swap info from searching the forums, thats not my problem, i will upgrade wheels but my brakes are shot now, and i just want to see if i can have z32 in the rear since the fronts fit. with a little work.

if the z32 dont fit in the rear then will the q45's fit, i am sure i saw that on the theses forums.

also can i just use powerslot rotors that are four lug that will fit without redrilling the z rotors? i thought i saw a red coupe for sell with yoko oni's, 4 lug, and z brakes, but he didn't specify if it was all around, and he mentioned he had powerslots.

thanks for all the help guyz

if the z32 dont fit in the rear then will the q45's fit, i am sure i saw that on the theses forums.

the rear z32s have a lot more spoke clearance so they should fit in that respect, but the rotor has a larger diameter (17mm i think) so that could be a problem but probably not.

also can i just use powerslot rotors that are four lug that will fit without redrilling the z rotors? i thought i saw a red coupe for sell with yoko oni's, 4 lug, and z brakes, but he didn't specify if it was all around, and he mentioned he had powerslots.

you can't use any 240sx rotors, powerslot or not. you can redrill z32 rotors pretty easily though.

Bump from the dead. As many of you know, Weapons are on back order. My Z32 Remans are in and I want to put them on. What size spacer will I need to fit them under stock steelies.

Save all the bullshit replies like: "they wont help you any with shitty rims" "pointless" and anything else you guys can come up with. I have time now to do it, and going to save myself from having to do it when the Weapons finally do arrive.

[bardabe]

ha ha stock steelies? damn that;s a new one. I will check how big the gap is but I think maby a 25 or 35mm spacer.

['90RPS13]

God damn, haha, maybe I should just wait. I was thinking I would do it if I could get by with a 10-15mm spacer, but 25??? haha.
