April 7, 200816 yr Author comment_243211 sorry, i didn't get a notification ab the new post I will check tonight and get back to you on it Kent Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18979-anyone-for-a-brake-upgrade/?&page=3#findComment-243211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 7, 200816 yr Author comment_243258 the offset is 4mm as per the last picture, and the radius from the 2nd pic is close enough to 109.. the first picture where you got 30 though.. not sure on that.. from the back of the plate to the back of the mount is around 16mm, and the mount is 13mm thick, so 30mm would be close enough as total depth of the whole part. sorry i can't be more exact, but i only have a digital caliper and the batt is almost dead it sounds pretty close to what you have though.. if you want them you can have them for $130 + postage (they cost me $220 trade from nissan) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18979-anyone-for-a-brake-upgrade/?&page=3#findComment-243258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 7, 200816 yr Author comment_243259 if anyone wants the Z32 aluminimum calipers + seal kits, they can have them for $150 too i may also have the red R31 calipers (i know the disks sold) somewhere if someone wants them too.. they look pretty i also have a brand new nabco 15/16" Master cylinder, it is for LHD though, so the hard lines would need to be modified to fit.

September 18, 200816 yr comment_260806 I've just finished building some Z32 brakes for mine. The only concern I have is the thickness of the rotors. It carries a fair bit of unnecessary weight. the struts are currently away having some Proflex goodness built into them,() but when I get them back I'll assemble and post some pics. very easy conversion. while I was in the process I also made a set of bolt-ons for 180B struts. VT commode calipers and Saab 9000 rotors. I sold them on ebay for $100, which is about what they cost to put together. anyone who wants good brakes for no money, should consider doing it this way.

September 19, 200816 yr Author comment_260896 Matt,which Z32 calipers did you use (there are 3 types from memory, some cast steel, and others alloy from memory) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18979-anyone-for-a-brake-upgrade/?&page=3#findComment-260896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
September 21, 200816 yr comment_261160 Matt,which Z32 calipers did you use (there are 3 types from memory, some cast steel, and others alloy from memory)they're alloy. other than that I can't tell you much about them.I just remembered - I have a question:has anyone tried these calipers on a 15/16" master cylinder? will I need to go up to 1"?

September 22, 200816 yr Author comment_261184 i have been told that a 15/16" is fine for my R34 GTT calipers, but i am going 1" anyway (with a 10" booster).. though i have no idea yet how it performs.

October 12, 200816 yr Author comment_263117 i think the standard may even be an 8" (it looks a lot smaller than mine!).. Stewart Wilkins used the R30 mounting bracket as well (some modifications were made to the firewall to mount it, with a brace buillt behind it).. but it just clears the standard clutch cylinder (not sure if i am going to upgrade that as well)http://www.project240k.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=858 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18979-anyone-for-a-brake-upgrade/?&page=3#findComment-263117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
