Guest mr_manny Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I picked up a pair of Z32 rear rotors for my Z, now looking for brackets... Would any of the caliper various Maxima brackets work with this vented rotor? Current caliper choices are vented Z31, or ??

Z-TARD Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I just put a set of these on the back of my Z also. I'm going to be using the 2 piston calipers from the Z32 as well. I'm not sure if the Maxima brackets will work, as the Z32 rotor has quite a bit of offset and will put the rotor further inboard than a Z31 rotor would be. I'll post some pics to show what i'm talking about. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-TARD Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Back Side: Front Side: The center of the rotor required the removal of approx. 1/32" from the inner diameter to fit over the 280Z hubd (Converted to 5 Lug). Hope this helps a little. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_manny Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I know that I may have to utilize some sort of adapter to accommodate the slightly taller rotor... I am just hoping that either the maxima or an aftermarket bracket will get me close. After I re-drilled mine for 4x4.5, I was able to slide them on without any other modifications. The center-diameter may vary with different rotor manufactures? nice pics....thanks, manny 71 project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mr_manny Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 When the HybridZ search/history was working, I remember seeing an early Zcar z32 rear conversion posted by mike (SCCA). I was pleased to find out that Mike does indeed have an early Z rear w/z32 calipers and rotors. Unfortunately, he did not have any info on my plan to utilize z31 vented calipers w/z32 rotors... Since you are planning the same setup, you might want to give Mike a call? http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes_zcar.html manny 71project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
