Hi everyone,

 

In a quest to try and get this build finished ive been trying to buy the parts needed or solve the problems ive come across before i start work on her again.

 

Having rear 350z Brembo calipers ive got to modify the rear hub lugs to fit the caliper. The lugs are only out by about 10-15 mm so brackets are not an option. Which means the lug on the hub would have to be either cut off and relocated or the bolt whole filled and the lug fabricated so its wider and a new bolt hole drilled to match.

Im not sure if either of the above are a safe way of fitting these so im thinking of scraping the whole idea and buying say Evo 7-8 Calipers.

 

What do you think guys? Any ideas would be great. Also how hard is it to get hold of the brackets to fit the Evo calipers?

 

Thanks

Dan

Pretty sure it was PAULC who doen the 350z rears, drop him a line and ask mate.

Or you can search his posts to about 18months 2 years ago.

Have a word with AndyP - (not Andy P)

He has fitted the 350z caliper to the rears with modification.

tbh, your better best is just to sell the 350z rears , and purchase some gtr rears, which are Identical but straigth bolt on.

 

Should'nt have much problem selling the 350z rears, and potentially sell for more than you can pick up gtr rears anyway.

 

 

But to answer your question, only only Z i've worked on that had 350z rears, had the lugs cut and rewelded.

Ive been trying to source GTR rears for months now no luck any where unless i want to buy a complete set.

 

Turning out to be a complete pain:hammer:

ditto ^^^^^^^^

Thanks for your replys guys if this mod has been done with no problems i might just keep the calipers. Ill do some research :)

just put the standard rears on for the time being and when the time comes that you've sourced the rears you want, then change them. no need to hold up the build for them? the 350z rears are more trouble than they are worth and you're relying on the skills of the welder to ensure a trouble free future!

I wish i could Joel but i sold my calipers to a guy who wanted the calipers for his 200sx.

 

Ive bought everything to go a head with the swap now...i just need to source a good welder?

I've got some stock rear calipers you can have if you decide you need them

Thanks Jaffa ill have a little think and get back to you
