Its almost like Santa came! These are for a 1995 240sx Dave at ArizonaZcar.com sent me these. Completely overkill, completely badass! 332mm front disc with 6-piston caliper, bias controller, etc.
Buddy Club sent these!
They should look good with the wheels, 18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear. Ill be running BFG G-force K/D's when they come in.

Looks like you have a project ahead off you. This is going on a Z, I assume?

Re: (Structure240sx)
What did it all cost if you dont mind mentioning it
Re: (vvaffle)
DAAMMN. I have not seen anyone on these forums use anything more than z32 or skyline brakes on their car. Those look beautiful. You have to give us an update after all of that is installed.
Re: (Structure240sx)
Yes, it must never be mentioned.Structure240sx wrote:thats gonna rock hardcore, bet santa couldnt beleive the price tag on that wish list
I got the coilovers from Jspec.com, i think they were about $1,200 that might be alittle off MSRP but I purchased alot of stuff from them(jspec) so the price may have gone down. I went to the website for buddy club and they seemed right down my alley, a few adjustable features but no MacGuyver IQ required to set them up correctly.97ka-t wrote:What did it all cost if you dont mind mentioning it
The ordered these brakes because I wanted completely dependable stopping power and the looks are what I was wanting. I know that sounds stupid but, I hate having a gap between the brake disk and the inner walls of the wheel. This should reduce that to alittle over an inch making things look much better. I didnt realize they were actually as big as they were. The whole bolt-on kit to my door was $2249.00 But I justified that with the fact they will be saving my life and other lives multiple times over. You can find more info here. http://www.arizonazcar.com in the 300zx section.
The wheels were $1835 to my door with everything. Rays valve stems and polished centercaps. The valvestems are almost as cool as the wheels, I will try and get a decent picture of them. I got them from Eric Bottoms at Hawkinson Nissan.
Yes, the rear is 310mm or alittle over 12 inches nothing like the front but that would just be wastefull. The bias controller will mount in the cab, where my cruise controll used to be. This will give me full control of how much stopping power is put between the front and rear wheels. If the fronts are locking up, I can adjust more bias to the rear so they dont lock up but I dont really lose any stopping power. Someone correct me if that is not completely accurate.vvaffle wrote:are the rear brakes sized up accordingly? Looks AMAZING though. I always wanted to have a bias controler in my car. I know it may be overkill, but I want one anyways. How does it work though?
Everyone check back on monday, everything should be installed and I will snap some pictures. Im still doing my motorswap though so the car is filthy and the widebody fenders arent on yet, so forgive me if the looks arent so great yet.
Re: (vvaffle)
I will try to document the entire install, im having in done professionally so it should come out pretty clean. Just keep an eye on this thread, i doubt i will start another one about these items.vvaffle wrote:Awesome. Though, I was actually wondering what are the mechanics of the bias controler, as in where in the braking system it hooks up. I would assumer right after the master cylinder, or maybe it's a whole new master cylinder?

It hooks up inline, and is used to limit pressure to the rear brakes.vvaffle wrote:Awesome.

The master cylinder has the main split valve.
Can you please weigh the front and rear assemblies for me? I'd like to know what each weighs.
Re: (Nismo_Freak)
Front Calipers are 8.12lbs a piece with pads, rear calipers are 4.82lbs a piece with pads.
Front rotors are 18.4lbs with rears coming in at 11.5lbs

Re: (sdwyzs14)
Im going to install a Cusco knob on the hand brake to use for drifting or messing around, then use a line lock to take over the parking brake function, and burnouts of course.

but what i'm really curious about is which ebrake setup you willl utilize for this drifting fun.....do these accept the standard s14 or z32 ebrake assemblies in the rear or will some sort of creation be concocted.....if going custom i would certainly recomend looking into hydraulicly activated ebrake systems.
Re: (sdwyzs14)
The brakes are simple bolt on's so there will be no custom work. Just make sure you have clearance as far as your wheels offset and diameter are concerned for clearance purposes. I havent planned on anything custom as far as the ebrake is concerned, nothing hydraulic but if you have any information concerning a better setup please let me know, that sounds intresting.
Re: (240sx2nr95)
caliper width is 16mm
