blueovalz Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Very good. This verifies that the 300 hub does push the whole assembly outward. Otherwise you'd have about 1/4" interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I'm bumping this thread to find out if you have any more pictures of what you've done. This is a very intriguing idea for a reasonably low cost. Pics?? EDIT: Nevermind, the pics show up fine in the first post and enlarge when clicked on. Nice work!

383 240z Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've been doing some searching on this, I would like to see the finished result, but I cant find the pics are they still here? could they please be reposted? Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sorry, I should have left the pictures up. I did about the same thing on the rear, but ended up using a Maxima rear rotor and a ford taurus rear caliper (cheap and plentiful) They stop great, I have some proportioning adjustments to work out yet, but they don't pull or do anything wierd. I still haven't had the car on the track yet, but hopefully I will soon. I need to get rid of these 3.50 gears and get something to wake it up a bit.

LLave Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Did the front calipers not clear your wheels? In that last picture it looks sort of like the front caliper has been machined down a bit. It could just be the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 The front calipers have plenty of room. That faced off spot on the caliper is where the "cobra" logo is machined on the calipers from ford. If you get them direct from PBR, they show up like this. I have about 1" of clearance between the caliper and the wheel spokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I thought PBR calipers were mounted with the removable pin up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Not that I know of John. The pin end should NOT be loaded under braking, and on the mustang cobra, the caliper is trailing the front spindle, so the pin has to be down, because the pad is forced up under braking. They can be assembled either way..... just switch the brackets left to right and switch the inner and outer pads in the caliper...so long as the bleeder is pointed up, and the pin is opposite the loaded end of the bracket. If one were to use the caliper in the leading position (in front of the spindle), which I imagine has been done on occasion, the pin would be on top.

TONY C Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 great thread what year maxima rear rotors and taurus caliper were used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbhsbZ Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 I used a 94-03 maxima rear rotor, and I used rear calipers from a 95-07 taurus, which in retrospect were a little big at 43mm. I probably should have used a smaller bore caliper, like a 40 or a 38mm. I'm trying to get the bias dialed in my prop valve and I'm playing with different friction pads. Right now I've got PFC-01s on the front and Axxis Ultimates on the rear, but I may go to something a little less aggressive on the rear.
