Check out my new BIG BRAKES on my S14

[Krinkov]

stock rear.



Sti rear Brembo with EVO rear rotor



and it BOLTS RIGHT UP!! it needs a 3mm spacer here for the correct offset, you need to trim/remove the dust cover thats all, the brembo brake line even screws right in!



For comparison.



I have the fronts going on too, but I need to machine a couple brackets, I had an extra set of the gold STI brembos, but Im close to certain the red EVO brembo calipers use the same bolt spacing. EVO take-off Brembos are pretty cheap, either from wreck part-outs or people upgrading, theres not a big market to sell them since all other EVO guys already have brembos so Ive seen whole sets front and rear sell for around $600! Im making a few sets of front brackets, let me know if anyone wants any:)

very nice. Are you using the stock rear ebrake.

[Krinkov]

very nice. Are you using the stock rear ebrake.

stock rear on the EVO? nope, kinda the same problem as running the Z32s without swaping over the Ebrake, was planning on running a wilwood Ebrake caliper like the ferraris do, still fooling around with all this, I'll keep this posted;)

[nismofly]

but you cant use the e-brake from the evo if you wanted to like you can with the z brakes?

good alternative definately though, post pics when its all done

[Krinkov]

like I sais, still working on it, dont have the EVO Ebrake assembly, will keep you all updated;)

[916drifter]

Looks nice...never even thought of that... keep up the good work!

[Rex]

Looks NICE ... someone swapped Z32's onto a Q45 ... makes me wonder if these might alkso swap onto a Q?

[cdlong]

the parking brake should be the only problem. just check the diameter and width of the two drums.

good luck bleeding those, you put the calipers on the wrong side. other than that, very cool.

haha, your the second person to notice that. No, this was just a mock-up, no point in instaling these rears until I get the fronts put on;)

and yes, just checked and they use the same size E-brake diameter (172mm) so looks like they will work with 300zx rears:)

[UncleBen]

that's awesome.....

[1WheelWonder]

Looks very good, good job.

[SmithSR]

I've been meaning to get back to this thread and congratulate you on this.

Keep up the good work and plz keep us posted on progres...

[Krinkov]

yeah its been a while, but yeah everything went together nice, heres the fronts:)

prototype front braket(ugly, yes) you can make these yourself with .5" thick X1.25" mild steel bar stock and any prill press with a vise.

^^FANTASTIC WORK

[nismofly]

methinks those are most sechsiful

[ArticDragon192]

So how much did this whole set up cost?

[nsrZ32]

great work man!

[hannibal]

Looks great!

Those are STi calipers and rotors on the front? Have you figured out anything for the e-brake?

[spider_slayer]

kinda makes me regret buying z32 fronts..... oh well.

hows the work on the e-brake assembly coming?

[Silvia2b]

Time to search the junkyard again. Good post thanks for showing the pics

[pr0digy1]

that looks awesome

what rotors did u use?I think u mentioned u used evo rotors on the rear, what about the front?Z32 rotors wont work with these calipers?

[skydragoness]

Upgraded brake master cylinder too? Nice fab-work w/ the bracket. Props!

[turtl631]

Cool stuff, too bad there aren't any inexpensive rotors available for the evo/sti brembos.

[Chingon]

Good job, i'm actually working on a cadillac cts-v brake upgrade for my rx7. The only thing keeping me from making progress is the unsprung weight. I'd have to use cobra rotors on the rear and 14" custom hat cts-v in the front. In other words, the rears are good enough for the front (they're that big). Same hardware as the F50 ferrari..

stasis used to just sell rotors, scc had them and said they were amazing

now you have to buy them with 6 pot alcons though, the kit costs $3700

[crzycav86]

Good work man. I love it.

You might be able to use the 300zx drum brake on those rotors. The drum e-brakes are a pretty generic design, so it would might work. You just have to check how deep the rotor sits toward the knuckle, and the inner diameter.

By the way, how much did it all cost?

[babowc]

damn..there were sti brembo calipers for like 350 a few weeks ago.. maybe i shouldve picked them up

[Dano]

Pretty sweet... FAQ material...

...MORE PICS!

umm brembo f50 calipers have nothing to do with ferarri f50, lol.

anyone know how stuff like this affects brake balance, how you would need to alter the hydraulics to work the calipers, anything like that? like what would happen if i got 8piston amg calipers, fabbed some brackets, put adapter fittings on the brake lines, some huge *** rotor, done? would it work right? would there be enough line pressure etc.? curious.

Sorry ahead of time for the thread jack. Yeah the f50 brembo caliper is just a "generic" sized caliper that brembo sells w/a lot of it's oem and aftermaket hardware...mounting and piston sizes may vary from those of the ferrari, but methinks the naming system came from the ferrari usage itself: http://www.hypertuning.com/brembo/caliper-f50.htm. I had to read quite a bit on brake bias to get it right, and was w/in 1% difference..pretty good i'd say. I'm still unclear on how the mc affects brake bias (if it does), but am figuring it as it goes. I'm thinking of using the 1 1/16 z32 or wilwood if not enough. I actually thought of the cayenne calipers (8 piston/4pads per) before going w/the cts-v, but got a better deal on these..
