gsxtcy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I am definitely in. Just 1 set. ETA? I finally bought all the parts to test fit and should know the will update you by the end of the week hopefully Count me in! But what about the rears? I.e. if you wanted to use Z32 rears as well. ...and I haven't heard anyone mention a brake m/c-booster combo to go with them. Any suggestions? -Jose Not a clue on rears or Mc/ brake booster setups. And I had no plans for a Z32 rear setup. Edited February 28, 2012 by gsxtcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I am working on a rear bracket..it might take a while though. I will update as I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianZortiz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Tybee260, the rear bracket is for 4pot or 2 pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 It's the 2 pot stock rear z32 caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianZortiz Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well, I've heard using the MM bracket you can run the z32 2 pot for the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinp551 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok I have read through this thread to be clear of what the goal is but I seem lost. I understand it's to use z32 calipers. One post is talking about using the track rotors(bigger brakes!!!î—î—î—) and another wants it for the 5 lug. I have the Toyota set up and four lug. Will be sticking to four lug too. Will these brackets make a z32 caliper work with the track rotor(drilled for 4 lug) in the traditional manner as the stock/Toyota set ups? Or is this for 5 lug and rotor on outside of hub? Is there a weight savings from the Toyota setup to this? I would be interested in a set of brackets if it all bolts together roughly the same.

Great question and I apologize if my research efforts to develop these have jacked the thread. Once I have everything figured out I will create a separate thread complete with pictures and explanation, but I thought this thread would be best to update people on my progress. I believe you are referring to the 240sx kit that uses the Z33, 350z track rotors with the Z32 calipers. That is NOT I'm using. These brackets are similar to the 4X4 kit, except I'm not sure if a spacer will be necessary. With the current rotor I'm testing conceivably you COULD have it drilled for 5 lug applications. Because of the increased size of the rotor and the larger caliper than the 4x4 kit I highly doubt it will weigh less, but once it's assembled I will weigh it all as well. Hope this answers your questions, As soon as I get the rotors I will update you. Edited March 1, 2012 by gsxtcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Brianzortiz- the rear z32 caliper will bolt up to the MM brake bracket? Where did you get this info from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianZortiz Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The 240sx world plus 3 members on here. The 2 pot z32 is a common upgrade to the rear of the 240sx without any modifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinp551 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ok so just to clear up your project... You are fabbing brackets to make z32 calipers work with drilled(4 lug) big 350 track rotors in the stock s30 configuration as a alternative to the Toyota setup? Cool! Please keep posted as interest is peaked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep posted as interest is peaked! the Z32 bracket I'm reproducing does NOT use Z33 rotors! Just to clarify this for everyone right now I'm test fitting 06-09 Honda Odyssey rotors Edited March 1, 2012 by gsxtcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianZortiz Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The 11.8 Inch Honda odyssey rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxtcy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Affirmative. 296mm or 11.6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Brianzortiz- I know its a bolt on upgrade for the 240sx..I am talking about for the s30. So your saying I can just buy a MM rear brake bracket and bolt up z32 rear calipers to my s30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianZortiz Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 The MM uses 240sx s13 calipers, and an s13 rear you can bolt in z32 2 pot rear bolt in with no mods. So yes I am saying you can buy MM brackets and run z32 2 pot rear. I think Tyler013.. (more to the name <--) Is doing just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well dang ..I guess I need to get a set , any idea what rotors he is using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tybee260 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) I don't think the z31 rotors are the right thickness Edited March 2, 2012 by tybee260 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the site is up but are people now able to place orders? I tried a few months back with no success and herd that people were waiting months for the stuff they ordered. If they operating again thats awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tybee260 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I searched for a contact telephone number but I had no luck. I'm guessing the only way to get In touch with Ross is through email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
