ooooo doggy do these sucker grab like no tomorrow.
Well I got the the 300zx calipers on.. Mainly had to wait for parts from courtesy nisssan since heavy throttle forgot to send some shims and rods for holding the brake pads in place.

I also got slotted and cross drilled(dimpled) rotors up front and on the rear. Slapped some EBC pads up front and loving every moment.

Awsome upgrade, just wish I could have had them done last weekend for the auto-x event.

Edit:

Things that suck... no rotor bolts to hold them in place w/o the tire on.. bleeding the brakes aways sucks.
I space between my calipers and stock se rims is like... well there is none and I thought it was going to rub/grind.

no rotor bolts? do you mean how the s13 has bolts that affix the caliper braket on the knuckle and the caliper bolts the the sliding pins? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

The fast I slow down means the quicker I get to speed back up &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

What size are your rims (width and diameter).
I'd love to do this upgrade, and I would like to put my stock rims back on for winter driving. &nbsp;Problem is they're the 15" stock alloys, and I dont think they'll clear.

Any info on wheel size and offset to clear the z32 brakes would be helpful from anyone (camppain?).

Well I drive a 91 S13 with stock alloys and they clear the 26mm 300zx calipers. They will not clear the lager 300zx calipers.

I have an s14, so I'm not sure.
I think mine are 15x6.5.
