Project S14 240sx

need to finish getting it in tune, but then it should be same horse power as the 300 but half the weight.

So I tried fitting my snow tires/wheels today and ran into a problem... The barrel of the wheel hits the front calipers, so I need to get some 300zx rotors instead of the 350z rotors to make a little more clearance.

being a Mitsu forum, I find this to be somewhat useful info....


iirc, the 3000GT VR4 4 piston calipers are identical to the 300zx calipers except for the name on the outside (Mitsu instead of Nissan, both made by Nissin, iirc again)

i have a buddy with a 96 s14 with a 406 small block with a single gt30r, he was having issues tuning it and took of the turbo and still runs 11's...

The 300zx caliper is made by Sumitomo (cast right into it, just below the Nissan logo) and the reason the calipers don't clear the wheels is because I'm running 350Z Brembo rotors, so the caliper is spaced farther out than it would be if I had the 300xz rotors. There is a little ridge in the barrel of the 3/S wheels that hits the caliper, so the backspacing isn't the issue.
