Patrick, those look pretty much the same as I was considering some months ago. Don’t they have the directional venting in the rotors? Could you elaborate on the caliper adaptersas well? Hell, could you email me as much as you can so that I can replicate the same package - source, cost, links to source etc…  
Thanks Patrick

Oh ya, almost forgot. I forgot to thank you at the KC meet for that cruise control pod. If you still have any bits left from the clip, I could use the glove box as well. Of course I’ll pay for it and I’ll send you an address to ship those goodies along with the other cruise bits to my brother’s place in Dundas since I won’t see you again til my tour is over next January. Unless you wanted to hold onto them for me til then.  
The big brake package I like to order soon so I can have it shipped to Vuk in Mississauga.

BTW, I was inspired by someone who did something similar;

> Well there were 3 calipers used on Z32s, and 2 rotors both of which had a 280mm diameter.  
> Early '90s NAs had a 26mm wide rotor with an AL caliper which was later switched to the 30mm wide like the TT  
> TTs always had a 30mm wide rotor in '93 they all went from an AL caliper to Iron.

> I installed these goodies, I ordered the brackets from Bernie, $200, the ss lines front and rear $85. The Stoptech rotors (2-piece directional floating rotors with directional billet aluminum mounting bells, front only) I ordered from [Zeckhausen.com](http://Zeckhausen.com), they list for $584, but I got a discount. Zeckhausen also sent me pads for the front (Axxis Deluxe Plus street pads), and rear (Axxis Ultimate street pads), $80, and a liter of ATE 200 brake fluid I forget the $$. I also went to my local Nissan dealer to get a new set of shim hardware for the front and rear calipers, another $75. I could have saved ~ $300 if I had gotten 1 piece rotors, but the 2-piece rotors are significantly lighter (keeping unsprung weight down) and won’t cone when exposed to track (road course) conditions.
