well its somewhat relevant in discussion of this particular thread on this forum so i figured id ask, i guess "search" now applies to the entire internet rather then just this forum now. im not THAT interested in it to scour google for an answer.

Bondango said:I run the 300zx Calipers up front with nissan 350z (Track edition in the USA) rotors. The brackets will also allow you to run nissan Skyline r33 and r34 GTR brembos as well as the 350z Track edition brembos as they as use the same bolt offsets as the 300zx calipers
Contact group-a-supra on here, re plicated the knightpager kit a while ago, he may have some brackets leftover
Any one using these brackets from group-a-supra ?
He switch for the wilwood brake kit (somebody correct me iff i wrong)
BTW somebody know the caliper clearance from the nighpager kit with 350Z rotors (300 Zx calipers)
Will they fit 17 inch wheel ?
I have two sets of 17 inch wheels butt hmm it seems like it wil not fitt :icon_conf
Am in the works of having a kit made for me. I tried the mk4 rotors(12.72") up front and you would have grind down some of the metal(hub) which takes away the structure of the rotor. Supposely 350z track rotors which are 30mm Thick and 12.75" in diameter are a perfect fit.
Anways i had a guy trying to adapt the 350z rotors w/ the 300zx calipers. But he said it just was too tight of a clearence. Not sure how the Night Pager kit did it but if somebody wants to loan me the adapters( i can send em out to be reproduced and send you some cash for your troubles- Just PM me)
Anways so he came up with the idea of using the wilwood calipers that retail for 139 each and make a bracket from sctrach w/ a shim to center the rotor for a really good price( not quite sure). Talking to him over the phone, And seeing different options. He said he would love to make more for various kinds of cars. But especially for the MK3 crowd cuz he sees that where lacking the product support that we need. The guy is pretty cool too, he's not in it for the Cash, just to get his product out.
One of his product, a great one i my add is the 240sx adapting to 350z Rotors with the 300zx 4 piston Calipers.

Sry if am not alot to post an ebay link, just showing you guys a pic.
Anyways if it all works out good, and i'll be the ginea(sp) pig in a couple wks. We should have a kit made that is by far affordable and the best thing that you can build up pieces at a time rather than breaking out the piggie to get a BBK kit. All in all, am hopin it will work, if not i'll be finding me different solutions.

Andy at Arizona performance has already done this - He's made a fantastic kit that is reasonably priced and has everything you need for installation.
True Andy does have a kit but from the price the guy has been talking about it will blow away andy's prices away; honestly its a business perspective. And gettin more products for the mk3 is always a plus. And it gives you an option of which setup you wanna go with. if you want to go Full out(race) go with the ARZ kit if you want a street BBK than you can go with this or even Group A Supra brackets. Its all about the options, each product works great but one suits one guy better than the other.
Sounds like your trying to undercut what ARZ does.
his kit is like 1300 dollars, right?
that gets you rotors, hats, brakets lines, calipers and pads.
sounds like a damn good deal to me. All very high quality stuff from a well respected member. If i was back in the supra game, ARZ would be the kit I would buy. I'd be scared to pay less.
ARZ has trimmed all the fat, and offers a great product at an awesome price.
I wouldent buy from anyone else.

Don't the MK4 calipers bolt right up? I have a friend with a Lexus SC that told me Lexus LS and MK4 calipers would bolt onto an MK3. I'm not in the market for brakes yet so i haven't confirmed, but is that true? And there's lots of people talking about things that fit and don't fit in here, i just wanted to recap.
So... first off, if i want to run, GTR, 350Z, or 300Z calipers i can get the brackets from "group a" Steve right? And those brackets are indeed interchangeable with all those above calipers, correct.
I was also reading and someone said you have to grind the MK4, 300Z & 350Z rotors, then someone else said the 350Z were a perfect fit, so which is correct? Can anyone verify from their own car?
Finally the ARZ willwood setup sounds sick, i like Willwood. 2 piece rotors right? nice

andy is using the good expensive wilwoods, not the $139 ones...
There is one other option that I've heard works...
from what I've heard, the MKIV spindle will bolt up with a little grinding...

not a direct fit from what I've heard, but it sounds like it might be an option for some people that REALLY want the stock MKIV brakes...
Poodles: from memory it moves the wheels in and back so not really an option unless you want to spoil the handling
I'd like to see both side by side and see if it's workable, as the MKIV has TONS of aftermarket support we don't have...
I was the first one to try using the 350Z Track Rotors. since grinding the hub of the MKIII to accept the MKIV TT rotors was a serious PITA.
Summary ......Nightpager kit: brackets
-300zx calipers
-MKIV TT rotors (inside hub needs to be ground down)
-350Z Track rotors (not hubcentric)

just wondering, you still have any pics of when you did it?
And what all happened to the Nightpager Brackets anyways. Did the builder just lose interest or did it sell pretty crappy?

Actually ive wondered how hard it would be to fab some brackets for Evo calipers. they use Brembo 4pots which are pretty good size and larger than the 350Z Brembo calipers, the rotor size i believe is 12.6".
