BMC question (q45 front, z32 rear)

[ska69]

Hi everyone,

I'm a bit confused...initially I was going for a complete z32 brake swap but now I decided to take a shortcut with the q45 front brakes...

but I already have a new z32 17/16 BMC - can I use it with q45 front + z32 rear calipers?

Also, I have a drum e-brake from the factory & a big brake booster M195T iirc. (I have a 200sx s13 eudm version).

If using a 17/16 BMC is not possible which one should I use then?

Cheers,

- Tim

i am doing this exat setup also...and im also confused to as to if i should switch to a z32 bmc or would the stock one be just fine...wich i heard it is and when rear z32 is instaled the little bit of pedal mush from just having the q45 up front go away.....but im alos insterested in other things too that i need help wit...soo if any body who really really knows theyre suspension hubs and axles interchangability between s13 s14 and 300zx..and q45 cars i would be sooooo dam gratefull for there HELP and trust me i have seearched.....sorry didnt mean to thread jack you that much

haha well your getting a reply on here

the stock booster will be cool with the BMC you have will also be fine for the brakes

stiff pedal feel is great...adding even 1 more piston to the system is going to make it more mush so go for that BMC and enjoy the feeling

wich BMC...i said like 3 diff options...

yes you can use a z32 17/16 BMC with q45 fronts z32 rears

If using a 17/16 BMC is not possible which one should I use then?

it is possible so use it...

i really didnt see any other option in there...

i see a 17/16s from a z32...thats it...what others are you talking about??????

I was thinking of a 1" (16/16) z32 BMC...would that be better? I don't want my wheels locking up each time I tap the brake pedal

[poshatch]

just dont lock up your brakes each time you tap. i have a 1" and it works great, so whatever you got at your disposal

[ska69]

and you're running the same setup as I want?

I'm thinking of selling off my 17/16" and getting a 1"

[poshatch]

if you got it already put it on its not that hardcore that you will lock up all the time

i run z32 1" bmc, z32 28mm calipers, cheap pads, blank vented rotors, ss lines front, ss lines rear, standard rear calipers, cheap pads, blank un-vented rotors

looking to do the altima rear soon though

I'm have a long way to go until I can fire up the engine so I'm still looking at different options
