I Got My Calipers!!!!

YAAAY the day has come to where I have my 300zx brake calipers!
the only problem is that I dont want to have to use the rotors that they came with, I would prefer to have some slotted rotors to go with them, do you know where i can order some?? The stock rotors are 26mm because they came off of a 1990 na 300zx

Hey you said you got ur calipers off of a 300zx NA ... do the Na and turbo have the same brakes.. i m guessing the 280 or 300 hp beast would have bigger brakes than the NA

The calipers themselves are all the same. Rotors... Im not sure, maybe the turbo versions are a lil bigger. I have an NA Z, and Im gonna pick out some parts from it to put over to my car... But rotors Im gonna go with cross drilled and slotted Brembos.

AS you can see, for the most part they both use the same set up

Easiest way to get 4 lug Z rotors step by step:

1.) Pick up a set of the Z rotors (most likely ur doing the front).

2.) Take out ur front S13 rotors.

3.) Place the S13 rotors on top of the Z rotors (make sure the front faces of the hubs are on top one another.

4.) Line up the holes where the hub goes thru, and make sure the 4 lug pattern is on the metal surface of the Z rotors. Then with a spray can, CAREFULLY mark the 4 lug S13 lug pattern onto the Z rotor.

5.) Then u find a drill that is at least the same diameter size of the S13 studs and drill out the holes where u marked it with the spray paint.

It works, and I kno a lot of ppl who go this route to save ubber cash from pickin up 5 lug hubs and all. I'll ask my friend for pics of how the Z rotor will look like when its complete. It actually looks tight... until u put the rim back on, then u dun see it no more...
