hi guys and gals !!
i the newbie here and i just had a qwick question about brake swap i know ALOT of ppl swap out 300zx brakes but i seen a vr4 swap on e-gay and want to see want the PROS thought…oh and this my new project car/drift car. thanks mike
thanks buddy, i’m not really new to car thing but i just wanted to know what the pros and cons are to running the VR4 brake swap. and if anyone is runnin this swap??
To check the interest, to advertise, to sell… Not that there is anything wrong with that.
The idea is not new and people that are more into looks than performance will consider buying it. Check this out http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/199252
The vr4 swap is just to mount the rotor, you will still need 300zx calipers. I also read up somewhere that both 26mm and 30mm will work though personally I would do more research before buying. The vr4 rotor is 12.5 inch is dia and requires the proper hub centric ring, these rings are usually plastic and i think they would melt but again do more research. Personally I think the vr4 conversion is obsolete now with the 350z conversion thats out. With a 30mm 300zx caliper you can run a 350z track rotor which is 12.75 inch in dia and perfectly hub centric just need a bracket which i think “spoolin” on the forums says he can get for cheap. I was going to go this route but have decided not to for the time being because these rotors are very heavy and a bigger rotor will push the brake bias further towards the front. It’s better left for a future upgrade, when you feel you need more heat capacity in you brakes and you buy 2 piece rotors and a brake bias valve.
thanks guys for ur info and thoughts, it gave me alot of info and ideas. But i like the 350z rotors and i’m looking into maybe using a set of wilwoods and make mine own brackets!! thanks again
yaayy another rhd silvia love the rear mouldings where are they from ?? take my word im in the smae boat, forget the conversion upgrade, a good set of vented rotors, pads, lines and quality fluid makes a great change. what motor do u need the monster stopping force for? sr or ca
lol… i have no idea where they r from but i was thinkin of sale the rear moldings, rims, and the front bumper…cars got a sr20det (the b16 of nissan) i think i am going hawk pads, steel lines, and new fluid…you got a rhd too??
