Default Need Help finding brake conversion adptor

Im going to make this as short n sweet as possible .. Hopefully some one can help me.....

(so this is my problem)

I Just got my 300zx TT 30mm cailber's back from them being powder coated and rebuilt. I remember seeing on ebay an UPGRADE BRACKET kit. But i cant find them any more. All i can find is
300ZX BRAKE UPGRADE BRACKET..

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300ZX-Z32-30...898230&vxp=mtr

That what i would need but for my 350..

If anyone knows who sell/make these plz let me know.

Basically i have OEM NON brembo breaks that i would like to convert to the 300zx TT BBK that came of a 300zxTT. Im a turbo Z pushin 400+ HP on 8 psi . I NEED BIGGER BRAKES THEN THESE CHEAP oem NON BREMBOs Hopefully someone can help me out... I also have skyline brakes n they look about the same size as the 300zx i think the adptor if one is still made would prolly fit both.. Hopefully i dont have to pay someone to fab me one up or fab on up my self....

those 20 year old calipers are not necessarily an upgrade.they are 4 piston but that doesn't make them better. i am unaware of 300zx caliper piston sizes but i highly doubt they match a 350z's. the cheapest way of upgrading the braking system on a 350 is with the brembo (oem track) brakes. when it comes to better,there are only 3 ways of increasing brake tq. pad compound, rotor size, and hydro advantage.when it comes to calipers a it's all about how stiff they are. calipers really vary your braking feel. any money you spend throwing a 300zx kit on your car will be a total waist. dont buy cheap brakes. buy a kit from a well know company with a history of building quality braking systems. because loosing control and crashing sucks on $50 brake caliper brackets, not to mention the lives you'll save by not being a cheap ***.....
