You only need 1 kit for both front calipers.
I imported when the $ was bad so paid nearly R500 for a kit.
Remember the front discs on a Zx is smaller than the rears-looks a bit funny
when you do it that way.
front is onlt 280mm and rears 297mm.
that price is very good for the rotors,but usually you get what you pay for on e-bay.
there is a kit where you get 350Z rotors with a adaptor like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/300ZX-Z3 ... 2eb0623a6b
that means 325mm fronts and 297mm rears which will look way better.
17" wheels will stil fit with minimal clearance.
I have 330mm floating rotors and 17" still fit on the front.

ya, i was talking about getting a kit for riekert as well if he needed.

cant seem to find a rear caliper rebuild kit...

how are the z32 calipers with wheel clearance, you think they should be fine with these 17's?

There should be plenty of space behind those wheels for the 4-piston calipers. Especially if they are +35 offset or less.

Zx came out with 16" rims,they will be fine if offset is 35 or less yes.

Ooh I quite like that!!! wonder why they charge so much for shipping though? I dont mind being overcharged for whats a couple small pieces of machined alu...but more than that for shipping?!?!

do you know what 350Z rotors you need. I see you can pick up EBC disc's for the 350Z with brembo's for not a bad price...not sure what customs will nail you however

i got a kit to adapt 350z to s13 lying in my garage, never used.. make me an offer

its like the one i listed at the bottom..

the one you listed is to adapt 350z to 300zx make sure you buy the right thing!

ps. this is the one you want, for s13/s14 to adapt for 350z rotors with 300zx calipers

the adpator for S13 is much better priced.

but the shipping is totally wrong-should be about $30

Hehe you know Mike what would I do without you!
I'm a terrible procrastinator...I still need to arrange with you to get the front caliper seal kit

which i will take btw. Life has gotten in the way, you know how it goes. Will make you an offer for those brackets when I've decided I can get 350Z rotors/the setup will work.

hey all

just another question, how much power do you think rebuilt z32 calipers all round, ss brake lines, std 300zx size drilled and slotted disks, and yellowstuff pads should be able to rein in on an s13?

what power do you think this stup should be good for?

thanks

We went to Midvaal track with Florin in his R33 GTS,which has nearly the same brake setup with Yellow stuff.
His car making 300+kw on the wheels at that stage.
After about 5 laps the brakes was fading fast,but he was lapping within the same time brackets as the amateur superbikes though.
On the back straight we clocked 240km easy and that yellowstuff got it stopped for a 80km lefthander very well,Flo was late braking that I thought the corner was already past!
