No idea. I havent taken a look yet. When I get home today i'll pull off one of my wheels and check it out. I highly doubt it would fit... Im gonna give wilwood a call and ask them to send me the brackets for the 350z.

well, you're gonna need to tell wilwood which brakes you do have tho... or else how would they know which bracket to send you. also, do they even make adaptor brackets? i'm just curious that's all. this might have to be something you have to get a machine shop to custom fabricate one for you. on that note, i have doubts about brackets and extra pair of bolts. but i'll talk to you about it aloh, just because i know you drive your car hard sometimes going to the canyons and gonna be going to track day with us. lol.

anyways, let me know when you get home today. i'm leaving the office early today because i have to go to the job site tonight. hit me up when you are home aloh.


m0nkie, hey if you borrow waz's buffer, i wanna use it too. my car is so dirty, needs a wash before saturday. seriously got some big black spots on the lip from the brake dust... or is it from malice... hmmm... black guy, get away from my wheels man! hahaha.

I looked around yesterday on the website and I know that the fronts are the "SL6" calipers. The rotors are one of their two piece types. I havnet checked about the rears though. All of the calipers have the bolts and some kind of bracket attaching to it. Im pretty sure wilwood will have brackets for it. All the calipers they make SHOULD be about the same, and they just have specific brackets for specific applications. If not, getting a shop to fabricate a set wont be too difficult.

I'll be out of school around 3. I'll give you a call.

aahhh i see... so you mean to say wilwood's calipers are al the same, they just make different brackes to fit different vehicles? is that what your's saying? so that mean their calipers are not vehicle specific? i'm not familar with wilwood... will be interesting to see tho.

The calipers have the same mounting points for brackets. The brackets are shaped according to the vehicle they are designed for.

aww dood... i just got a phone call when aloh was over. one of my homie's mom just pass away this morning, and ask for my help as a pallbearer. of course i cannot say no, so depending on what time the service is, i might not make it to the infamous charity event or lead the caravan. but i will let you guys know once i get the details. someone step up for the caravan? if the service finishes early, i might swing by the event afterwards.

they dont have brackets for conversions... think of how unreliable that would be of a company to sell brackets for conversions... dont sound safe does it? brakes and calipers are made SPECIFIC. its simple... you want brackets your best bet would be machine shop... will it be safe? doubt it but MAYBE... who knows

id suggest you take a look at this Alex if you haven't already. Hopefully you can find an adapter kit, because fabricating a design = as much as just buying another bbk.

The brackets will not cost alot at all. If I had access to a machine shop I would do it myself. I am certain wilwood has brackets for these calipers. All their calipers have a similar mounting design. Its only the brackets that vary. Ive already sent an email to wilwood asking about it.

Im probably only going to put the fronts on. I'll lose my parking brake if i put the rears on.
