I'm building my s14 up as a track car and wheel selection isn't all that important to me, I'd rather save 5 lug money and put it towards something more productive. I have a feeling I'm going to have to anyway, I just realized that it would be beneficial to have a brake upgrade that uses easily available, cheap parts store rotors if I'm going to be doing a lot of HPDEs with aggressive pads. |

i was wondering if anyone knows the spec to the 14mm bolts needed to mount the 350z caliper to the s14 bracket...i want to find this out and get the correct bolts and nuts before having to take anything apart.
thanks |

How about the compatibility with the new G37 sport brakes and rotors? anyone know how close they may come? and with the 14" rotor wheel clearance would be even tougher. This setup is probably overkill on the 240 but just wondering if anyone is in the know

that shit is so new it's probably over $2k per caliper
so yeah its overkill pricewise and for what you're getting 18 inch wheel minimum, i have 3z calipers on 350z rotors and its already close, some 17s' won't even clear (diameter) |

no no no, not cheap at all..... but your right i should just try and make something work. i'll try and get something together and then create a new writeup. i have 18's now but by the looks of how they fit on the coupe with the 19s i bet its gonna be close.

I decided to hold off on this project because of cost, and i already have Z32 front and rear, and would like to concentrate more on other things. Plus its more show than performance IMO because of weight and the Z32 are already killer brakes for an S14.......... Swee though keep us updated!

And no the rear 350z brembo do not bolt on. Only factory brembo that is bolt on for s chassis is the r33 and r34 brembo or sti brembo. |

While smaller Z32 brakes may fit both S13 and S14, the S14 may have more provisions so that the larger Z33 brembos can fit. If the S13 doesn't have the same provisions, the Z33 brembos will not fit. |

the mounting bolts on the rear STI brembos line up to the stock mounting holes, but requires a washer or two to offset the brakes. dont mean to reiterate the same crap, just don't want fasle info spread'in. |

Mmm, I think those are fake...
they look like urethane caliper cover, it was pretty big on ebay back in the day. It covers your caliper and make it looks like you have BBK.

And why would s14 have more "provisions". Tell me what you have to do extra on a s14 that you wouldnt have to do on a s13 when doing a 300zx brake upgrade. Hmmmm.....nothing. The install process on both the s13 and s14 is exactly the same. |

If you use evo rotors with sti rear brembos you need a washer to bolt right up.
If you use z32 rear rotors with sti rear brembos it bolts right up and the z32 ebrake assembly works perfectly. |
