Going to fab my own solution with stock components, a DIY bracket, and 03 Altima disks (292mm, less hat height than Q45). This quick fix should bring my bias to 75% front, which will be nice. Also, this will bring a Z32 front setup to around 70%, which will be a sweet track setup I think. Stand by for awesomeness in the coming weeks.
Z31 bracket with 03 altima rotors is a perfect fit on S14's (no washers). There was a right up on FA in the basic tech area. I've been meaning to do this for a while just havent gone to the junk yard.
I got my intake manifold gaskets replaced today and I installed the Power steering system. I'm just waiting on a p/s cooler to arrive and finish that up. Then I can install the radiator again and get back to motor break in.
Just need to paint the core support, wrap some harness stuff up, bleed brakes and clutch and a few other misc things and the car is ready for a test drive.
