For those that may not know, for the last few years a Z32 owner has delved into adapting the SRT8 front 4pot Brembo's to our cars. It has proven to not only be a very good BBK upgrade but also one that is extremely affordable compared to other BBK options available. That venture has given rise to newer/further development in adapting the newer SRT8 6pot Brembo and coincidentally, adapting the rear 4pot SRT8 Brembo. These BBK options use the 370Z Sport 14" front rotors (for 4 and 6 pot Brembo calipers) and the 370Z Sport 13.8" rear rotors. The rear BBK requires zero hand brake modification and retains full function of it. The basic premise of this BBK is that you source your own SRT8 calipers through the numerous sources available to you. Be it off ebay or another parts supplier of reman calipers. You buy your own 370Z sport rotors at the source of your choice as well as the requisite SS braided brake lines to fit these Brembo's. What you have to do is acquire the desired caliper adapter from the link provided. In this link you'll find everything you need to do your own BBK. Everything from various parts suppliers for calipers, pads and brake lines, to completed projects and how-to instructions for sourcing your parts and installation. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Brembos.SRT8.Conversions/ I encourage you to open every thread within that FB page to get the finer details as most common queries seem to have been completely addressed. I think you may find that this may be one of the best BBK options out there. Not only from a performance perspective, but from the sheer cost effective nature of it. Nice thing to know is that due to the large number of applications in production cars of these calipers, the supply well should be fairly healthy for many years to come. Good luck.
Someone pull the info off and post it here. I dont think the SRT8 was a big seller here. Might be a little hard to come across unless you import some.
can all be found on 300zxclub in the suspension/brakes/wheels sub-section guys though as mentioned it's a lot harder to source the calipers here
SS Brakes lines to be used should be StopTech. Listed as Centric but in details list as StopTech. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1431867,parttype,1792 Front - Centric Part #95063004 Rear - Centric Part #95063502

All very well & good but down here in the south Pacific there are better options such as the Brembo brakes from the R33 & R34 GTR, the 350Z, the Akebono brakes from the 370Z. All bolt on with no or little modification & no extra brackets etc that need to be shipped internationally. If the path of alternative models get you all warm & fuzzy then there are the Mitsubishi Evo brakes from various models, WRX, Holden Commodore, Ford Falcon etc etc etc. Most requiring brackets etc to install but the actual calipers are readily available.
Well if you want the ultimate I could sell you these. Expensive but worth it. Porsche 997 GT3 6 pot calipers with ceramic pistons and Real Brembo 380mm rotors, custom floating hats for 300zx and custom milled alloy adaptors in 7075 T6 alloy. Also comes with track rated pads. Got a lazy $3200 you can have them. AND I am losing over $1000 at that price. The rotors are so hard they couldn't be machined on a normal rotor lathe. They had to use a flywheel mill and he busted 3 cutters while machining them. These came off JP's slot car. and cost him a lot more than that to make up. The adaptors and hats where $2500 !!! The Brembo T bolts that hold the rotors to the hats are a eye watering USD $22 each with their special nuts.
