It only took a year's worth of procrastination. I finally got the rest of my parts ordered and started on my brake project. I got a good deal on some 30mm Z32 Irons that I wanted since I'm hoping to track this thing, and the brackets from Z1Motorsport to run them with Z33/G35 Brembo rotors for help with heat dissipation. So here's what I started with.
PO installed the 30mm Aluminum Z32 calipers with rubber lines. Man they were worn out and I'm sure were a big part of my spongy brake feel.
Picked up some more GKtech parts. I've been very happy with everything so far. They now make e-brake cables for S14/Z32 rear brake conversions. I'll post up more about that when I get into the rears (bigger project that'll involve dropping the rear subframe and doing bushings at the same time.) Braided lines to replace the soggy OEM ones.
And the rotors/brackets from Z1. Man these things look nice. The rotors are rebuildable. If I need to step up a little more I can very inexpensively move to a Z33/G35 Brembo caliper up front and all I'll need hardware wise is the caliper/pads.
Size comparison with what came off.
Going to try my hand with some Bosch brake fluid since it's driven on the street more often than the track. I found this shopping for my gold-standard ATE Typ-200 that seems to be rather hard to come by these days.
New calipers powdercoated and all ready to go
And with everything bolted up I think it looks awesome. We'll see when everything's done and I can go bed the pads in.
Tons of clearance w/ the 30th Anniversary Z33 wheels.
