Arif Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I noticed the sm rear brake kit comes with vented rotors instead of solid ones from the las vegas guy. Still, his set up is half as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30 ounce Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 the speed bleeders are great but won't help with an inverted caliper as with this or the silvermine kit [which i have]. once bled the sm brakes work great but i wasn't a huge fan of having to remove the caliper, invert it. hold on the rotor [providing the pads a stop limit] then bleed. it made it a 2 person job, slower and more complex. i have since rectified it [with nigel's help!] and the calipers are now oriented correctly [bleeders now on top] and bleeding is a breeze. How did you get the bleeders on top? I have these and would like to have my bleeders on top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamo3 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I like the early maxima bracket with the 280zx rotor and caliper. 1981-1984 RWD maxima rear brake bracket. 1982-1983 280zx rotor 1983-1983 280zx caliper. It's bolt in with no "custom" wear item parts. There is no issue bleeding. The parking brake was easy to connect. It's bolt in easy. Thanks for the info. I just got them today. Another upgrade project... tamo3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryand2 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Does anybody know of a caliper that comes WITHOUT a parking brake mechanism that shares the mounting bolt spacing with the Maxima caliper? This would be for my drifting caliper. My kit from Las Vegas has arrived. I'll give a report on it when I get out the tools, perhaps this Sunday. The picture shows the goal. Seriously, with two calipers and the amount of holes in that rotor your gonna end up snapping that rotor in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmc Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Is anyone running one of these rear discs and a 14" wheel? I really love the Libre wheels and don't want to give them up. Edited December 31, 2012 by wesmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmc Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Tire Rack says that the zx and the maxima run a 14 inch wheel standard, I I'm guessing my 14s are ok. Now I just need a source for the brakets. I can't find those anywhere including new from Nissan. Anyone have a clue where I can find them?

pleadingbark Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Are the maxima calipers the same size and mounting locations as any other caliper? Say an S13/14/280zx or z31 300zx?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesmc Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Has anyone found a source for the maxima brackets? I contacted all the guys mentioned here and no one seems to offer a braket that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
