People has anyone every tried to put 350z hubs on an S13????????????????:p

I really just want to know if they fit. because shit if i can get 350z hubs with rotors calipers and all........

thats sexiness no dout
......my be different rims haha :bigthumbu
 
I'm not sure on the hub fitting, if it's swapped to 5 lug using known working parts then go for it.

The rotor will slip on no problem, you might have to have a bracket made to align the caliper properly over the rotor though.

As cheap as Evo Brembos are getting, why not pick up a set of those - a guy on Zilvia sells the adapter brackets as well. The stock evo brake line does bolt up to our hardline on the body.
 
Well u don't need the hubs. Im rocking 350z track rotors 13inch with 300zx calipers. Just needed an adapter bracket for the caliper to work with the large rotor.

U can also do the 350z caliper with 350z rotor it bolts on just need a spacer. Nico club and zilvia have write ups on this stuff. Google search next time its been cover before. Also I hope ur talking about the 350z brembo brakes!!!
 
^ Zilvia has a ton of threads about brake swaps. How's the z32 brakes on that big rotor work out? Do you have any pictures?

Well there are lots of options for brake upgrades without spening insane of mone for the off the shelf performance brake kits

J30 brakes
Q45 brakes
300zx brakes
300zx calipers with 350z track rotors
350z track brembo brakes
Vr4 3000 gt/dodge stealth brakes

Mustang cobra rotors with 300zx calipers

Mitsu evo brakes

And more.... just search there all better then shitty stock brakes. And depends on the performance ur looking for and money u got!!!

But remeber u gonna need to upgrade to a larger brake naster cylinder when going to multi piston calipers. The stock one just won't cut it. Recomend the z32 brake master cylinder 17/16 size. For even better braking get an automatic brake booster. With that combo u can't go wrong.
 
Here's the link to the sale thread:

http://zilvia.net/f/advertiser-specials-sales/199162-brake-adaptors-evo-sti-calipers.html

Send the guy a PM and let him know I passed you along to it. Might give you a discount, don't quote me on that.

I've got the adaptors and they seem pretty beefy. I'm just waiting to get some spare cash together so I can get my evo rotors and bolt them up.

Drftnr14, lookin' forward to seein' some pics. Here's a pic comparison of stocks, j30's, z32's and some Evo brakes.

There is a thread on Zilvia...search for it...you they make a bracket and tell you how to mount 350z brembos. There is also a how to on how to mount evo brembos and i think GS_Racer (Jerry) has CTS-V calipers on his S14.
 
this is a pic of 350z track rotors with 300zx calipers

rotor is 13inch make 300zx rotors look stupid lol

and this is 300zx rear caliper and rotor

im using a hydro ebrake so i didnt opt to do the ebrake conversion, also im using 300zx 17/16 bmc with auto brake booster
 
Haha, yeah the caliper looks a little small. But I bet it fills up the rim nicely. Do you have pictures of your ebrake setup? I've got Wilwood mechanical e-brake but haven't mounted it yet. Did you put the auto brake booster on when you swapped the brakes in? Just curious how much a difference it makes - I've got the full 300zx brakes and 17/17 bmc but with stock booster.
 
well my chassis was auto to begin with, so i had the auto brake booster, i driven one with the manual booster and it just requires a little more pedal effort, but not much. yeah the brake fill the rims nicly. u need to run 17ich or bigger or it wont fit. the caliper looks small in pics but infront of u its no joke. my hydro ebake is mounted in the stock location, so it will be like pulling a stock ebrake but instant lock!!!!
 
Did that caliper bolt right up or did you need some kind of bracket? Just curious, never seen anyone with that before.

I'd like to see it with the rim on - can't wait to see how the Evo Brembos fill up my rim.

you forgot the M30
and the M30 rotors with maxima calipers..lol
 
Lol^ that's why it said and more..

No the caliper doesn't bolt right up. I can't remember the companys name right now but they make the bracket with all new hardware for $60. But the rotors are expensive. They go for about $400 just for the fronts. Then add the brake calipers and pads and also u need conversion lines to run 300zx calipers on a s-chassis. A bit steep for some people but its money well spent when u can stop on a dime. It jusr bugs me to see all these people doin high hp setups and roll on stop brakes! Its just amazing. Either way and of the above post brake setups are atleast x2 better then stock brakes!!
 
a cheap alternative is to pick up M30 rotor which go for like 20-30 even cheaper, an dpick up early 90's altima caliper from the junkyard (20-40) ... everything bolts up and you will have a considerable break upgrade for less than 100 dollars.. lol... you will need to remove the dust cover cause the M30 rotors are a good half and inch bigger than the OEM ones...
