Just curious....

Will OEM Infiniti centercaps fit on your ASA wheels?

[mcrews]

nice!!!!!!!

[Jeff Williams]

I think they will. The OEM's were made by BBS, and ASA are made by BBS. I even had both in the garage for months, and forgot to measure them.

I bet the OEM logos cost over $100 though.

I have thought about that, ever since I sold the original BBS wheels.

you might try watching ebay.....

Anyone know if I can use the 300ZX stainless brake lines when installing R32 calipers on a G50?

Heres a pic.

No the body side fittings are different.. You can use the 240SX conversion lines.

Thanks Wes,

Know any good sources for those?

[franknitty69]

depends on which modelthe (GTR) BREMBO r33/34 wont fit w/o a bracket being made for front/rearssame as 240sx we do the same thing

gts, gts-t etc will fit fine though. bolt up job.watchout w/ japanese r chassis..pads are easy somewhat to find, but rotors oftne have to imported to usa. $$

I thought all you had to do to fit the brembos from the R33/R34 was bore out the size of the threads a little...

Your right though, often times R33/R34 rotors that arent the same as what we get here in the states will cost you a fortune.

[dousan_pg]

ya your right, i forgotrears u need a bracket madefront drill

cool dela. my buddy has them on his car. so hot.

Yes the skyline rotors can be a pain. I'm running R32 GTR fronts. Luckily NISMO usa imports the rotors, but they're close to $150 each. Ouch.

Robert, what's the difference between the z32 and r32 calipers?

I think I posted this before, but all of the following cars use the same type of Sumitomo fixed caliper and the same pad profile:

R32 GT-R calipers use a 296mm X 32mm rotor

R32 GTs-t and late Z32 use the 280mm X 30mm rotor (late Z32s have iron calipers)

R32 T and R33 GTS4 and early Z32 use 280mm X 26mm

And just for confusion,

R33 GTs-t and R34 GT use a 297mm X 30mmR34 GTT use a 310mm X 30mm

And for comparison, Q45 uses 280mm X 28mm w/ Nissan truck pads

350Z and R33/34 Brembos are 324mm X30mm

The R32 GT-R brakes are the largest you can squeeze under 16" wheels.

Oh, and JDM Subaru WRXs (and USDM from MY 06 on) use the same calipers and pads but I don't know the rotor diameter. So do some Mazda RX-7s from the late 80s. Most Toyota 4WD trucks use a larger iron version of the same caliper.

It would be funny to put the "SUBARU" calipers on your Q.

Did anyone try the 300zx - 280 x 30mm with Q45 front calipers........any rubbing with brand new pads or when the rotor expands in glowing orange hot?

It might work - if not you could sand a bit off the pads (concrete works excellent for that).

Concerning your decals, I assume you got them on ebay. I saw themon an auction. Do you think they are worth it or do you think they burnedoff because they are not good quality?
