Why does no one at all have a Brembo BBK?
like an actual kit, not stealing calipers from another car

Every time I go to a junk yard I try to pull some just to keep em from getting crushed. I have a spare set that could use a good cleaning. PM me if you're interested. Doing this rear brake upgrade really helped my cars braking feel more neutral, the car doesn't nose dive as bad anymore. Probably the cheapest bang for the buck upgrade I've done in a long while.

I always thought it was strange the z32tt uses 280x30mm front rotors and larger diameter 297x18mm on the rear. I believe I heard z32 owners upgrade only pads and the front rotors/calipers and leave the rears as is since they're pretty good factory spec?

i can assure you that the people that DO need brakes that size, have them, and $4k wheels are the last of their worries front z32 calipers are 4 piston, while the rears are only dual. not to mention the thickness of the caliper will do more for cooling and brake fade then a few extra millimetres in diameter |

I am def not going to be able to run BBK in my build,because of my wheel sizings. But for the motor I am running I do need good brakes... so I need a smaller but good quality option.

Wilwood Grand Nationals, (covered with painters tape here to protect wheel and caliper in case it was tight, this was purely for test fitting.) on Z33 track rotors. Confirming that they wheel clear 16" DT-O5R wheels.

I know the thread says that the R33 GST calipers can take a Z33 track rotor, I have that set up on my S14, however there is a decient amount of the inside portion of the rotor that is not being used. This is very annoying because of the pad overhang and leaving all that braking power off the rotor. I am not sure if R33 spindles will do anything to bring the caliper down closer to the rotor ,or If I need to try to find a different adaptor bracket ? Any Ideas?

Wonder why no one mentioned J30 brakes all around. They're very similar to the Q45 ones.
The piston diameter is the same as well as the rotor for both J30 & Q45 front calipers at least, not sure about the back. Pads are the same size execpt for the Y33 chassis which i believe are like .2 longer. J30 / Q45 Caliper Cylinder bore diameter 42.8mm (1.685") x 2 Pad Lining Length x Width X Thickness 127mm x 56mm x 9.5mm (5"x2.2"x.0374") |

Kinda old thread, i know, but had anyone successfully mounted a vented rotor on a stock rear caliper with the internal mechanical ebrake? already did the altima rotor upgrade and now im looking to cool the rear down even more while retaining stock ebrake components

In the event you are drifting, have you warped some rotors or something? I haven't heard much about guys running vented rotors on the rear or that there was HUGE advantage to doing so. |

either the z32s or q45/j30 with a vented rotor, but youll need to adapt the whole parking brake system to your car. those are the easiest junkyard finds

I'll play. Q45 brakes front and rear, S13. Brakes are off of a 97 Q45.
This shit is cake. The backs bolt right up. The fronts however need a little work. All you have to do is take a step drill bit and bore out the mounting holes in your spindle. Here's the rear. And here's the front. Here's the difference in bore size. Bigger one on the left. All mounted up. Pictures don't really do justice to how big these things really are. Haven't driven this car yet, but the car I have driven with this setup is awesome. Not as pretty as Z brakes or Brembos, but you can literally walk into a junkyard and get the full setup for less than 100 bucks. As for master cylinder, I'm using an s14 booster and master combo. I'll upgrade it if need be but I doubt I'll have issues since I'm running the front brakes with the pedal and a hydro to the rear. Hope this is helpful.

What year Q45 did you use? I have put them on both of my S13s and never had to enlarge bolt holes, direct bolt on. The year info could be helpful for your post.
