    discs

    What car do people get discs off of for 345mm brake upgrade using z32 calipers?

    I posted in other sections but no replies!

    You just need a 345mm disc kit. Doubt you'd get them straight off another car because you need the calliper spacers as well.

    These ML500 discs seem right
    http://www.apbrakediscs.co.uk/front-...-to-3-05.html#

    But the ML500's apparently have a PCD of 5x112, but the wheel studs are M14, is this enough to allow them to fit?

    They probably need redrilling to fit.

    I think they may fit without drilling,the center bore I just checked is the same so it will center on the hub ok
    its only 2.3mm off the pcd needed and its on a 14mm stud/wheelbolt and we have 12mm studs
    the disc is 2mm thicker than the z32/14 disc
    the only thing will be the offset of the disc on the nissan hub maybe off and it will need shims to center the caliper

    I'll have to measure my 345mm discs and find out the offset, as we may be on to a winner!

    You could ask Dan about it, I don't think he's making the kits anymore so might not mind people sourcing the stuff themselves.

    Yep wouldn't hurt to PM him and poss find out what was in the kits
    the ml500 uses a 4 pot caliper,the lesser models are 2 pot sliding type so chance its not far off

    Mine definitely have M14 holes, but does anyone know where to measure for the backspacing/offset?

    Id imagine from the back of the disc to the bell face using a straight edge across the face of the bell!
