Rob2005 Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Struggling to find someone who can supply front disks (performance or std) for a 2003 Jap spec 350z. Would anyone be able to help??? Quote
bigphil Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 We can supply DBA 4000 series grooved discs at £215 per pair. We are awaiting a shipment to arrive should be in the next two weeks. I know these are shown with the Brembo but the same disc although a smaller size for the non-brembo. Quote

Emperor Ming Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 I have a non brembo jap import of the same year as yours and I changed the pads as soon as I got it. they were from a 200sx mate. that being the case look at 200sx discs before you buy anything else as it is a fair bet they will be the same. They will save you a packet if they are. Ming the hopeful Quote

Ming the hopeful Afraid not, although the caliper is the same the disc is different, 200SX disc is 280mm and 350Z 296mm also the caliper is the S13 model and discs for these are 4 stud fitment. Quote

Cheers Phil It was worth a thought mate. Knowing Nissan though the discs will be the same as something else in their range as new models tend to start off as parts bin specials then develop a life of thier own as the model develops. Come replacement time i am off down my favourite automotive parts place with a disc in one hand and a tape measure in the other. Ming the Hopeful Quote
bigphil Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Believe me we have gone through every model as we have all the data discs and nothing matches. We will in the next few weeks have some well priced alternatives. Quote

Emperor Ming Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Just found this on ebay. Callipers look a bit cruddy but the disc's don't look to bad http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-Fairl ... dZViewItem just a thought. Personally I would be loath to put second hand discs on my car unless absolutely necessary. Ming the Considered. Quote

GENY240Z Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 LMAO Feeling guilty now, maybe I should have cleaned them before putting them on Ebay. Discs have done 30,000 miles, I did fit new front pads about a month before finding a set of Brembos so they have done less than 1K. Quote

Trev-the-Rev Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Still a good looking car today. With a modern set of wheels and low profile tyres, that shape would still cut it. I don't know about the pimperly youth behind the wheel though Quote
