SPL used to sell big brake kit for s13 with Power Slot 350z track edition rotors & brackets and they discontinued it. Where can I find these adoptors/brackets for z32 calipers? I just did a quick search on eBay and couldn't find any. AZHitman and RB20Todd have them on their s13s.

That bracket is for z32 caliper(30mm)??? I already have z32 calipers and just need the brackets. I think PowerSlot rotors will be cheaper. I tried to call them, but no one answered. Thanks for the info.



Went through old emails and found out there used to be Punk Racing brackets on eBay. I emailed the seller and asked about it. Let's see what happens. Those brackets used to be a lot on eBay and suddenly disappeared.

Well, these will work I guess. I'll do more research and buy the better one(quality, material, fitment and price...etc) out there.

I've been exchanging emails with JSK, and I like their customer service and product. I think I'm going to get black anodized brackets from them. Thanks for the info though.



Found a picture of Punk Racing brackets. They look basically the same. These brackets are sold out and don't know when's going to be the next batch.

Thanks for the offer, but I already ordered from JSK. I'm sure someone wants them.

yeah, Im going to post them in the classifieds, I got punk racing brackets and the 350z track edtion centric rotors that Im getting rid of. the rotors are a little warped and will need to be resurfaced they have been redrilled for 4 lug also. I honestly am not impressed with the 350z upgaded but what ever. I am going back to just the 300z rotors. if any one wants to purchase the parts let me know.

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. Did you replace BMC(17/16) too? How about the rear set up? I've heard good things about 350z rotor upgrade with z32 calipers. You are the very first person who's not happy with it. Why you don't like it? Your input will be helpful to the people thinking about this upgrade. Especially myself... Oh! What kind of pads, rotors and tires did you use with this setup?

yeah I have the 17/16th bmc, rebuilt calipers, stock rear brakes and all that stuff. I have axxis pads all around. why I dont like them is the rotors are just to heavy for the s13 they weight like 23lbs each so I lose some momentum, not much but it is noticable. second and this may be because of the brackets or how I installed them but the rotors and pads make a buzzing noise when im cruising around, I have tried everything to stop this and can not find out what is causing it. they dont stop me any faster than the standard 300z rotors probably because of the pad overlap. I just think they cost way to much and dont serve any real world purpose. they do look very nice though and saddly thats why most people get them.

Man... you guys have too much money on hands. This is something that I want to check it out myself. If it doesn't work well, I'll also switch to regular z32 setup. We will see...

for the price I paid once I got my calipers painted,and rotors redrilled to 4 lug I could have bought the wilwood kit. which is what I would do if I did it all over again. but Im just going to stick with the 300zx rotors.

^^ Looks sick. Well, booster on my vert is slightly larger than one on coupe/hatch, so let me see how it turns out. I'll go for the full front & rear conversion with 17/16 BMC. AZHitman has this setup on his vert and he loves it.

are the rotora big brake kits good?

its 13 inch, with an option for 4 6 or 8 piston calipers.

can any wilwood caliper fit on an s13 as long as its the right diameter? plus mounting brackets?

Alright, it took a while, but these finally arrived today. Quality is really good and most of all, JSK's customer service was pretty impressive. He knows how to take care of customers. These were individually packed and arrived in a couple of days after I received shipping notification email from him.

I did some more research, and it looks like z32 BMC plays a major role with this 350z rotor upgrade. I'll see what happens when I do mine.

what size rims... are those on the black s13?? 17?? they dont look like 17 if they are those rotors are HUGE!! i was wondering is it possible or has anyone done it to run 16 with the 350z track rotor upgrade... like maybe shave off some of the caliper off just enough to fit? or would it be to much grinding???
