xA6x, xZ1x, xX7x + others FRONT AND REAR Brake Upgrade

[CrUZida]

there is only 2 listed engineers in SA (i am basing this on the street machine website) which means they can charge what they want, (they are both around the wayville area for those in SA reading this)

I seriously doubt there are only 2 engineers for SA.
WA has about 20-25, so SA should have even more.
Be smart, call the Trans Dept and talk to someone for some up-to-date information, and not something off a bogan website that probably doesn't get updated very often.

Ed was planning on using the JZZ30 rear disc, which I assume has the same handbrake as the JZA80 disc. But he was using the MA61 rear disc with the disc surface machined off, ie, just using it as a handbrake drum inside the JZZ30 disc.

Not sure if this pic will work

Worked for me, i just had to refresh it once.

So thats first the hub, then the centre of a MA61 rotor so the handbrake works, then the JZZ30 rotor slipped over the top of the lot?

[CrUZida]

Correct .

[Wezelton]

Mr Cruizida you got so much god damn rep! Im running the R32 front set up thanks again!

The 300ZX discs are 297x18.

I *was* going to get GTR rear discs (300mm) until I just realised they were 22mm wide, so no can use them until I get Brembo calipers.

dude you wouldnt believe it till you see it but i just test fitted the mazda fc caliper to the rear of my z10 and its near perfect.
overkill i know but the fronts will be massif.

parts needed
mazda fc 4 piston calipers x2
r33gtr rear discs x2 300x22mm
spacer x2

the mazda bolt spacing is within 2mm. prob is both caliper and mountplate are throughholes ie no thread, but the mountplate is 10mm, caliper is 12mm so run a 12x1.25mm tap through the mount plate and file the caliper holes slightly and then just sort the handbrake shoes.
ill get whatthe to put some pics up when he brings his camera down.

Did i read right? FC front calipers on the back of your MZ10??
What you getting for the front?
Any update on this setup linden?
I'd be interested to have a looksee.

Man that could be soooo taken out of context...

hahahah that is shocking!

going to get me some RDA slotted and EBC greenstuffs to replace my stuffed rotors and unknown pads... i stuffed my old ones on the track!

[Norbie]

So I found a guy on eBay selling EBC Redstuff pads pretty cheap, but he only has them listed for the R34 GTT Skyline. Does anyone know if they use the same pads as the R33 GTSt?

[The Real Roadrunner]

should be the same but havn't tested, try b+r at CHill for the part no of the 2.

Z32 R32 and R33 are all the same so i would say R34 are also as it looks identical apart from longer legs.

[ill-minded]

just a quick question, where's the best (ie. cheapest) place to get caliper rebuild kits for the Z32 front calipers and the standard ma61 rear calipers? i've been and checked with nissan and they want $180 for a rebuild kit (just the seals) and repco want $200 for the ma61 rebuild kit (though i forgot to ask if that included pistons).

also, does someone know the protex part numbers for the equivalent rebuild kits?

cheers

MA61 rear is:
MCX / Protex K1572S, $15ea last time I got them (They are only dust boots and o-rings, no pistons or slider boots).

Just as a note, the Aus vs JDM rear calipers are different (JDM is larger) so check what piston diameter you have before ordering )
