F two piece rotors. . . dat's a kick in the pants.

Get the Track Proven, LLC (look em up on facebook) brackets that allow you to attach the Wilwood calipers to S or Z chassis.

-Track Proven, LLC brackets
-Wilwood lines
-Wilwood Calipers
-Z33 track rotors

you can piece all that together for under $500

Lol.
Calling your company Track Proven and passing off Chinese one piece rotors.

These are not even in the same ball park to a directionally vented, semi floating, two piece rotor.

Track proven does not supply rotors, they are a U.S. based design company that uses U.S. machine shops to make the caliper adapter brackets. That is all.

Two piece rotors are not only expensive as fuck, most gearheads do not know how use safety wire PROPERLY, which if you are running two piece rotors you need to have.

OP, save money, save time, buy one piece rotors from the Nissan dealership, Advance Auto, Rock Auto, wherever you want. I've been beating the shit out of my Wilwood/Z33 rotor set up and it's the best bang for the buck I've spent on the car to date, after the V8 swap of course. (installed pic below, not on my car)

A little misinformation above

Not ALL two piece floating rotor brake kits require safety wire. My original set built by fastbrakes requred safety wire and requisite bolts. The two piece set I have from a Audi does NOT as they use T bolts.

Another fairly distinct advantage is that 2 piece rotors are several lbs lighter than the 1 piece variant. Also, once the initial cost of the floating hub and hardware is absorbed, the rotors themselves are failry inexpensive. The downside; only speed shops will sell replacement rotors. If you keep up to date with your inspection, this shouldn't be an issue.

Back on topic.......

Jorge, send me a text message or speak to Def (or Will as he has a Def setup currently) over at NRR to get you sorted. I did a rotor and wilwood weight comparison as well (which I posted weights over at NRR), and Def's kit with medium duty rotors is several lbs lighter than my current 350Z brembo/Wilwood Superlite setup. However, you will require heavy duty coleman or equivalnet rotors and they only end up being a few lbs lighter than my current setup.

If Bernie has the Superlites (recommended minium piston diameter for the 4 pots 1.62 for a "balanced" setup and the calipers need to be the wide variety to accept 1.25 or 1.1, I forgot, width rotors), I would go that route if the replacement rotors can be sourced easily.

P.S Below is a 2 piece EVO setup which DOES NOT require safety wires!

Calling your company Track Proven and passing off Chinese one piece rotors. I'm not sure what these two things have to do with one another.

Let's see that country of origin info on your rotors.
