Sparky Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hello everyone, This is a quick post about some CNC Aluminium rotor hats and caliper brackets that I am having made up by a member here (coldfusion) These hats will allow you to run a 1.25 thick by 12.19 rotor along with the caliper of your choice in a 3.5 inch mount. We are looking at assembling a package that includes two (2) hats for use on the S30 chassis (240Z guys must switch to 280Z hubs.) (in your order I can provide a set of 280Z hubs at a reasonable price.) AND two (2) steel caliper brackets for 3.5 inch calipers. Calipers, Rotors, Lines and all hardware will be left to the end user to select, there are lots of options out there and this kit will allow you to select anything from mild to wild, budget to full blown blingtastictude. Again, this is a very quick post to just start the ball rolling so we can get an idea of who all is interested. We wont be making these things forever so get em while you can. PM any questions or post them here, but I wont be able to get back to you for the next two days (school starts tomorrow). I will do my best to address any concerns or questions you may have and will be compilling notes for a post in the group buy section on thursday. thanks everyone! Also, If somebody wants to step up and help locate the best online source for hardware it would be most appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Heres the best prices I found on brake parts back when I was in the market for the items you'll need. I got the merchandise asap also. behrents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sorry for the double post. It's late and I've had a long day. behrents.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 We're looking at $200, very max, for the kit that Sparky described. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 That's pretty good. Cheaper than JSK was if I recall correctly. I think I pieced my whole front brake setup together for about $575 through JSK, http://www.behrents.com, and http://www.pitstopusa.com. In particular I think the pitstopusa price on the Superlite IIA was the best at $105: http://www.pitstopusa.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=3662 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think I'll be interested. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean73 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I'm interested if it can be done in the near future. I have a set of Superlites and am anxious to install them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 We're definitely looking to get it done ASAP. If I can get 10 people interested to buy, we could have it ready in 2 weeks. Are you guys wanting these parts annodized any particular color, or should I not bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearheadstik Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Put me down for two....how much more for the annodizeing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Anno will probably be $5. I've got a great connection for it, quality stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thanks Andrew for answering all the questions. as far as price of calipers and rotors, berhents.com is where I ordered everything from, I went with the billet NDL at 124.00$ and the UL 12.19 curved directional vane rotor at around 36$ each. With the lines we are looking at less than 600$ for the front set! barring any unforeseen issues I should have a complete setup to take photots very soon. As soon as I do I will post them and try to answer some questions I've been getting about min. inner wheel diameter needed to clear the package. thanks again for the comments and interest!

rudypoochris Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Just out of curiosity what is the difference between a 280z hub and a 240z hub. Unfortunately I just got my 240z hubs a new set of bearings, lugs, and grease, so I am kind of bummed out. :S Also, where does one order the 3.5" Steel brake caliper brackets you are talking about, are they a standard?

nullbound Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 i'm interested in a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banditzed Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Any chance of doing hats with a five lug bolt pattern, or leaving them blank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Quite possible, it would just require a small machining fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
