| i just got the calipers and rotors starting on swapping them over tonight. but i kinda run into some trouble. the 350z's knuckles are 14mm versus the stock s13 12mm. i ran into some trouble drilling them out. the cast steel or whatever is really kicking my ass. i have broken like 3 bits trying to bore one of the caliper mounting holes? any ideas? | |

| Awesome. How big is the rotor, like 13 inches right? Looks great though, those TE's are gonna look hot too. Sizes?

| the rotors are 12.75. 30mm thick aswell so its a decent set up. i wanted a set of bigger brakes but didnt want to deal with aftermarket. in the future these can be rebuilt back to oem standards....but the volks measure 18x10.5 puls 15 all round. i am leaning towards just running them in the back for now. the volks are lighter than my 5zigens but i kinda like the stagger. i dont think i really have anything more to contribute but i know how to get by i guess? | |

| I just meant that you arent some douchbag with no car. Its nice to see poeple on the forum with real, life-sized cars that move under their own power.
You better run them all around. Fuck stagger. Shits sooo 2006. | |

| yeah they more or less bolt right up. like i mentioned you have to bore out the caliper mounting holes to 14mm since the bolts are 14mm cause they went bigger on the 350z. also the knuckle itself is thicker so you either have to get new bolts or stack so spacers. oh yeah you'll need 300zx conversion lines. but other than that you use all the 350z parts ie rotors pads and what not | |

| yeah i knew you would need that stuff i just always thought you would have to get spacers machined like when people use the evo calipers. | |
