_BR1TT0N_ Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi guys, anyone know whether 300zx calipers are better than the jdm non brembo 350z brakes? And also will the 300zx calipers fit the 350z? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If it helps at all the brembo brakes need to be drilled to fit a 300zx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedwell Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 IIRC the 300zx brakes are only the same size as the 200sx,except that the calipers themselves are alloy instead of iron for better heat dissipation...so not really that good by modern standards and if your JDM non-brembo use bigger discs than the 300zxones,which I suspect they do,then they should be better. IMHO better to fit new discs and top quality uprated pads to your existing set up if you can't afford to get Brembos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_BR1TT0N_ Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks guys! Perfect advice! That's exactly what I needed to know, new better pads and gd discs coming up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I uprated my non-brembos on my last zed... and it cost me £700 for uprated DBA discs, Endless pads, braided lines and fitting. I should have just bought the brembos ...for a pair of uprated discs for the JDM you're lookign at £300 alone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
