dohc v6 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Posted December 22, 2010 Yep, I did it. This is for the 5 speed. The new brakes are on there way for the turbo . Enjoy and ask away with questions. Mark Quote
virtuetovice Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 DAMN that's nice. I bet you sunk some change into it too. Quote
BXX Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 The million dollar question is if your gonna sell those brackets and how much. Im interested. Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Posted December 23, 2010 The calipers are $350 each and the rotors are $200. Plus all the lines and pads and what not. The brackets I would sell for $125 with the bolts needed. Mark Quote
White93z34 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 Few questions: 1: there really is no chance a 16 inch wheel could clear those is there? 2: are there any full on pictures of that car with those centerlines, I love those wheels and would love to see a good picture of a z34 with them on it 3: I have 96' front knuckles, would I need to swap back to the early ones to fit these?

CSI_MuNkY Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 That's not the same caliper bracket you made up previously is it Mark? I looks like its on a stock spindle... 96+ I assume? Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Posted December 23, 2010 These are stock knuckles, not modified at all. They more than likely wont fit under a 16" wheel. They might though. I know UI have seen 13" brakes under fat 16" wheels before. These are the 10.9 rotors knuckles. Mark Quote
CSI_MuNkY Posted December 23, 2010 Report Posted December 23, 2010 so old style knuckle. If you can get it, what is the distance from the center of the axle to the farthest out point of the caliper? Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 I will check, and more pics coming soon Quote
94 olds vert Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 DAMN I love the stance on that car. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 Hmmm those would work well behind my 18" MCSS wheels Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 Best looking Z ever Wait till you see the turbo z. You can spot it in one of the pics on the website Mark Quote
Andrew Posted December 24, 2010 Report Posted December 24, 2010 looks fantastic. I wonder why the caliper wasnt designed to sit deeper onto the rotor, that would make for a larger contact patch. Quote
dohc v6 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Posted December 24, 2010 There rated at 13" and they are sitting perfect on the rotor. I think wilwood did that cause of the length of the pad. These pads are huge. Mark Quote
GP4U2NV Posted December 31, 2010 Report Posted December 31, 2010 SO- calipers are $350 each rotors are $200 each brackets are $125 with the bolts needed They will fit 93 and older stock spindles. Can a bracket be made to use the mounting for a 97+. Then, monte, f/bird, vett and etc all become possible. Quote
dohc v6 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Posted January 1, 2011 I dont see why not, i just need the spindle to use. But yes you are correct. Quote
White93z34 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Posted January 2, 2011 What specific model of caliper/ pad did you use? what gauge is the adapter plate you have made? any better pictures of the mounting hardware? can you get a measurement of the center of the axle to the furthest edge of the caliper? Quote
dohc v6 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 What specific model of caliper/ pad did you use? what gauge is the adapter plate you have made? any better pictures of the mounting hardware? can you get a measurement of the center of the axle to the furthest edge of the caliper? The calipers are Wilwood dynapro's. The bracket we made is 3/8 steel. I can tell you that a 17" wheel with a 42mm offset has about 1/8" of clearance. Thanks for the feeback rating too . Mark Quote
GP4U2NV Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 What spindle do you need? 97+? 93 older? 94-96? Quote
White93z34 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks for the useless camcover! 1/8th... are you talking caliper to face of the wheel clearance or caliper to inside of the wheel clearance? Quote
