OK i got a question for all you... I have z32 brakes all around (30mm in the front) for my 89 240sx.... i was wondering if anybody knows anything about using 350z rotors on z32 brake calipers... I'm mostly wondering about the rear setup... Well to my knowledge I've read up on the front 350z rotors on z32 caliper setup and i believe that a bracket can be used to mount the caliper on to the 350z rotor... correct me if I'm wrong

Yes, for the front you can use a "conversion" bracket to allow for 350z rotors on 300zx calipers.

I'm uncertain for the rear, though.

I only know of a bracket for the front. I don't think the back works.

RR999666 · 12-06-2009, 12:06 PM

Yea that's what i understand... Ebay offers that conversion bracket and I'm planning on trying to use a z32/350z setup... but I'm uncertain about the rear as well....

just so every one is clear on the fronts, it is the 350z TRACK edition rotors that can be used up front with a bracket.

i don't really see a benefit to running the 350z rear rotors over the 300zx rotors.....

Why would you get the rear rotors? 350z rotors in the front and 300zx rotors in the rear keeps the brake bias close to stock

There a bit bigger and thicker, id say just run better Z32 rotors, like slotted Brembos or something. Otherwise unless its just that cheap to buy 350Z rotors?

On an Schassis I don't see any need for bigger rotors in the back than the Z32, seems like more hassle to adapt something bigger to work when you already have a bolt on application.

I'm currently running this setup on my 93' Coupe. Works very very well. Z32 Brembo slotted rotors are mated with the rear Z32 Calipers.
