Did you see the part where I mention 2 pc vs 1 pc rotors?

Here is the same type of setup with 2 pc

Answer the question then. What makes you think your custom setup will give you better 60-0 then what you have now? I assume that white coupe you have.

Go to a 2 pc version of that rotor and suddenly the extra swept area is almost nill. Interesting isn't it?

These are odd questions coming from someone that's making the G37 akebono brackets?
I am well aware that rotor size really doesn't matter as long as the pad is making contact with the surface, but that sure is a lot of wasted surface space and im sure they weigh quite a bit as well. Not question the "scientific" reasoning behind putting those rotors on your maxima. Just making a simple observation.

Well then that speaks to the fact that the calipers are NOT too big for the rotor now doesn't it?

and im sure they weigh quite a bit as well.
Not sure what that $0.2 crack is about but here's your $0.1 change back. Ever weigh those G37 14" 1 pc rotors you make the brackets for?

What is "obvious" to you ISN'T necessarily a reason to think your brake dist times will be better. Then again, you haven't read ONE thing I've been posting haven't you?

If i remember correctly you have a 03-04 g35 meaning that that OEM 2006 350z rotors are much larger than your 03-04 rotors. So yes i guess your right the 03-04 OEM caliper is to small for 05+ OEM 350z rotors.

Thats an 05+ 350z caliper used in conjunction WITH 05+ CALIPERS

There you go Sean. Now please clarify, is this just an observation?

Because you DO know if I ran the 06Z 12.6" rotors, I couldn't bolt up the early 03 calipers RIGHT??

I suggest you stop while you're only 2 behind.

lol, yeah i have weighed them. That is completely besides the point though. I don't know why you are bringing that here. Atleast all of the surface space on those 14" 1 peice rotors is being used.

Last time i checked race cars don't use rotors that are to "big" for the caliper. Their **** actually fits lol

BTW Nismo. YOu got the weight of those 14" rotors yet? You know, the ones to compare with my heavy 13" units?
