Brake Setup Helllp!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

mkezzo16 · 01-18-2011, 01:50 AM

Bought a pair of JDM Project MU drilled & slotted front Rotors
was told by Mackin industries Rep they are for a 180sx
-researched into what calipers i can use..was thinking 180sx calipers & maxima pads

Issue is Rotor is wayy too big for 180/maxima caliper which is 22mm..the rotor is 28mm thick & the diameter looks about 280mm. WHAT CALIPERS CAN I USE for this..
the width of the rotor is right n between a NA z32 (26mm) and a TT Z32 (30mm)

Please Help so i can get what i need

Oh and Btw, I know alot of you are going to say go w/ z32 setup, but car & rotor are 4 lug, keep that in mind

i would imagine you can get away with the ttz32. i mean, brake pads are meant to open and close as the pads get smaller, so if they start off a little closer then normal (if you were using the ttz32 rotor) i don't see that being an issue. just make sure they are fitted and bleed properly.

it shouldn't matter. the calipers are bolting to the spindles, so iirc they don't have anything to do with 4/5 lug. wait i'm positive they don't i've seen 4 luggers rocking z32 brakes.
