Looks like the rotor outside diameter is ok. But the hat is wrong. So you got the wrong rotors. Next question. Did your Z come with the 'bono's already on?

it looks like the hat is too big and needs to be 10mm smaller, right now we are in contact so let's see if we can get a new set with the problem fixed. Right now i think there's no brands selling full floating rotors for the Z, i don't know if it's because the Akebono caliper or because it's not worth. If Floating won't work we gonna try Fixed rotors. by the way i haven't showed my Z, it's this little boy: Last edited by taz46; 03-26-2021 at 06:18 PM. |

Ok, you got the wrong rotors. No questions asked. Did you get the 2 piece rotors for the rear too?

yes, but theoretically the rotors i got were for 370z, probably they failed when designing the hat, my opinion is that they designed the hat with an AP caliper, wich it have more space in the bottom(like most of the calipers heh) anyway, the problem is solved. cheers |

post update. After several emails with the engineers and pictures with caliper/discs measurements, there's no way to use floating rotors with Akebono brakes. sadly..
the only way to use 2 piece rotors with Akebonos is going fixed like z1, DBA... |

The thing is that here in Europe modify the car is a pain in the ***, any mod, even if it's simple like a wheelspacer equals a +300$ fine + a car inspection that you need to pass X year to check if the car is stock. I have to think about it because as i said, changing the front braking system equals a problems, but one option i have, and i'm thinking seriously is to go AP Radical 1 calipers for the fronts, the list of available pads and discs is vastly expanded.ç thank you Last edited by taz46; 04-02-2021 at 05:02 AM. |

Key point was if you could have it for cheap. For the same price, I would obviously go with the few reputable aftermarket BBK setups. Used OEM GTR brakes are still much cheaper than reputable aftermarket BBK, full setup to full setup, in the US market at least. I assume the brake bias is still ok....long time ago an AP rep said bias would be wrong, but nowadays there are a few cars running around with that setup, one is a euro member that tracks and is turbo’d, so I guess the bias is ok....I don’t know.... I think judging the sufficiency against the GTR is tough, they are 5-600hp pigs after all. For use on a Z34, OEM GTR hardwares would be more than sufficient...easily few hundred pounds less, 2-300 hp less....

Just to add another choice to the mix is Stoptech makes a two piece floating rotor that should fit sport brakes!
