Its time for some rear brakes. I remember seeing a post about 350z rotors, I couldent find anything.
Can I use my stock calipers with 350z rotors or would I need the calipers too?
Should I just do stock 300 rotors. A nice cheap upgrade would be nice though. :yesnod

Any thoughts?

Just to make sure you got the correct info; the 350z track package upgrade is for the front only, it utilizes the 350z 12.75" rotors, a relocation bracket and reuse the stock 300zx caliper.

As far as a cheap way to better performing brakes; grab a pair of good quality slotted rotors, good pads (I like the pbr ultimates), stainless steel lines, a m/c brace and good brake fluid.

Thats good to know, I just did the front cause we happned to have a good set of front rotors. It had drilled and slotted all they way around when I got it, they were so bad there was almost no slots. I will just keep it stock until I wanna stop better I guess.

Thanks for the info robo.

I think it has something to do with the parking brake system. That's what I would guess anyways, as our Z's use an internal drum parking brake within the rear brake rotor. Or perhaps the 350z rotors are no bigger?
