Z Brake Swap. Wee!

[NSR_s30]

Looks awesome man, I definitely dig the white over the typical red painted ones. Great job, bet they stop awesome too. Man I wish I had those

Quick tip, for your 300zx brake swap, (get good brake pads)

[Hijacker]

wow! thanks for the advice after the fact! j/k

I put a set of KVR carbon/kevlar pads on.

Don't worry Bart, your brake calipers have more good white paint than Ryan's whole car.

and gregs decklid has more electrical tape than what wraps around my whole car.

i find that hard to believe

[SeVa-S13]

Zip-ties may be a different story....

[nismofly]

hey two things i forgot to ask, first of all what offset are your wheels? also, are they 26mm or 30mm calipers. i believe you said you got a part for 26mm calipers, but i just wanted to make sure

[Hijacker]

they're 26mm, and as for the offset, i can't remember off hand

i've still got a bit of air in the lines, but it was getting so late, i didn't feel like screwing with it since it was way after dark.

Also, I still have a Z master cylinder to put in tomorrow as well.

I got some speed bleeders from PDM-Racing, got all 4 corners done in 30min all by my lonesome. Only thing that sucks about em though, is if you don't have them torqued down HARD, they leak out throught the bleeder nipple (not the threads, they come with sealant/threadlock)

let us know how the brakes feel after the master cylinder is installed. I havn't done that yet, and my brake pedal is pretty freakin sensitive right now.

[Hijacker]

i got the rest of the air out of the line. Heading down to the junkyard soon to hopefully get a blown MC or clutch MC to yank the seat from.

the pedal is definitely touchy, but not unlivable

[daniel240]

those look sweet. im doing my conversion tomorrow. i painted my calipers gold like the brembros on the 350z's. i also got the same rotors you have.

[yelnatsch517]

Nice car you got there daniel. Where did you get that front mesh? Looks nice. Also where did you get the yellow tubing? Looks awesome.

[daniel240]

thanks, the mesh is just stuff i got at home depot and i cut it out very carefully. what yellow tubing are you referring to?

[nismofly]

probably the stuff under the hood, thats the only thing that i can see that would resemble yellow tubing

[Veriest1]

Do you have the part # on the hardware you ordered for this swap. If so thanks.

Thornhill Nissan has messed it up twice already and I'm about to be fed up with them.

[amolao]

Those are sweet looking.....I prefer the red ones though, but hey be careful in the pics the wheel looks awful close those calipers....

[sixxdeuce]

the white does look good, better than red. I think im going to paint my 26mm z brakes pink with white letters.

I ordered my calipers out of a junkyard, so I don't have part numbers for them (not that I would want to pay an insane amount of money to a dealership for new OE calipers)

[HashiriyaS14]

Your gold calipers look REALLY good, I was going to do that, then do the lettering in blue like the Grex/ALCON calipers.

The white looks hella hot with the white car too, tres hawt.

[hannibal]

First time Ive seen white rotors. Looks great on your car!!
