Brake Issue : Mk4 brakes on MA70...Just do it!

[steven89]

ah, and then I guess it wont work with the ABS?

 

[SupraClaou]

Gotta run the 350Z rotors. They're larger than the MKIII rotors.

Mk3 rotors are 302mm...
Mk4 rotors are 330mm...
How much are the 350Z rotors?

 

[SupraClaou]

You think you can make another set...lol

and here's a pic of a mk4 rotor to kind of show the difference

Can we machine about 2.5mm the inner hat of the mk4 rotor?
Or is it to much? :sarcasm:
If yes, then we have the 5mm (diameter) space that we are looking for! :sarcasm:
You see...I bought them new and I hate the thought that I can't use them :cry:

blackgamer,i need a set of the hub centric ring's for mine too.let me know if your going to make some up,i might be interested.your further along then me.i still haven't pressed the new bearing's in the carrier yet.mine have been sitting like this for months

Tsuper92, it shouldn't be a problem to make the shim, the price is something am not sure about. Once i find out i'll shoot you a pm and just get 2 sets, if you wanna get a set for yourself. Uhmm any chance i can borrow that jakespeed kit- i'll hit you up with a pm.

Talked to a few people about going that route, not sure on an OEM rotor, maybe IJ or the others know. But on that Napa Brand rotor(mk4 TT) it will take out structure/strength of the rotor-not the safest route to go

SC: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if that wasn't clear NO!

Do NOT machine the rotor, sell them and buy the 350z Track Rotors they're the same dimensions as the Mk4's just with a bigger ID in the Hats (I have a set of DBA 4000's here waiting for me to make the brackets for a bud's Mk3 along with the Mk4 callipers)

Ok...I won't use the mk4 rotors, period.
I will sell them,and buy the 350z track rotors...
Can you make another set of brackets for me,since you are doing the same
upgrade on your friend's mk3...and the 2 inserts for the hub?
You will help me a lot man if you would do them and ship them to me :1zhelp:
I will pay you ofcaurse :sarcasm:

 

[IJ.]

SC: I'm just not sure when I'll get around to it sorry.

I have at least 1 month of work before I can even look at them, this isn't a problem for my Bud as he's swamped with unfinished projects and his Mk3 can wait.

 

[roundfinger]

So if someone wanted to piece a kit together what else would they need besides:
Skyline or z32/300zx calipers
350z track rotors
the nightpager adapters

as well as any suggestions/info...
Nissan stainless or regular brake lines?
centering rings?
proportioning valve or brake booster? or not an issue?

I was always curious if the mustang Cobra/Mach1/Bullit calipers could be used with an adapter and appropriate rotors but the nightpager seems to be a proven.

Hey...I can wait :icon_bigg
I have to sell the mk4 rotors first,then buy the Z's rotors...it will
take a month or so.
I want to install the new brakes before 'April....:sarcasm:
