Hi Tom,

I've read about the Nissan calipers also. The Nissan caliper has no ridges or ribs associated with the lettering to strengthen or prevent flex. I doubt that removing the letters would have any effect on flex. If I remember, the guy that installed the Nissan fronts used Celica All Trac rotors, not turbo zx.

Have you found any replacement factory production rotors, larger than 13", that could be adapted for use with 18 or 19" wheels?

What size are the Tribeca front and rear rotors?

I have been doing a alot of reading on these calipers as well as the Subaru ones... Good choice but I recomend getting a bigger disc than the stock 300zxturbo... My brother had them on his z32 and they were not really all that good. I would say the suby 2 pots on the front of the SVX performed better along the lines of brake fade... Big rotors with the z32 4pots and you got a decent cost efficient, lightweight, BBk
