JSK 12 "Wilwood works with 13"! isnt this fun!

[Guest Looking for apt in Alb Ny]

yes I am up late 2 am NY time. Well I just wanted to state that my hats work with Wilwood 13.09" GT rotors 48 fin. expensive rotors but what can you do. let see $170 a rotor $169 for 2 adapter hats, $200 for basic calipers superlite 2A's, $50 for pads, $30 for brake lines, hardware lets say $40. hmm (pulling out calculator) came to like $850 or so for complete system. the only thing you will need to machine or make is the brackets which will need to be made for the 13" height and thickness. not hard to do.

my hats have the same pattern and dimensions 7" by 8 bolt pattern!

I bet many of you are like DUH we knew that.

I am wondering the same. I have my 5 lug hubs, wheels on the way, and no front brakes. I want big brakes without the broke! Aloha, Chris

I will have it available by Jan 04. I have just received a 5 lug hub from someone on this board and will get going on it. Currently I have some items being machined for restock and o ring fuel rails. Those will have to come first since I have orders on them. I expect to get started on aluminum hubs and Wilwood 5 lug Dec. I was also thinking of suspension and aluminum diff case? That's a whole other topic we can get into later. As long as you guys are interested it can be done. Thanks Juan

Juan,

 

january for five lug brakes man thats just sweet but since you already mentioned that u can use 13inch rotors would you be willing to make some brackets to go with it? had to ask

I haven't been getting much sleep lately. 3:19 am here in NY and still kicking. I am excited to always come back with news and to answer your questions. I can do the brackets. What happens if I do is it takes time away from other projects I would like to get to, The brackets are real easy to do. With a 13" rotor from Wilwood that is 1.38 thick you will need to make the bracket 3/8th thick and made to the proper height to align the caliper to the rotor. its not that difficult to do. I can guide you along if you will need some help.

 

Some interesting news though.I bought an 87 Maxima front 4 lug vented rotor to put on the back of the Z's. Its 11 inches and .88 thick. Pretty good size rotor for the rear. I think I may be going with this rotor for the rear. I found that this rotor fits from a member on this board. Just more stuff to add to the pile thanks Juan

 

many argue about what size brakes should be on the Z. To me its what people want and not what I think people should have. That's why I offer individual setups for each individual's needs.
