hey do any of you guys know if the 03 tls caliper will fit on th 99 tl the guy said his had the brembo factory caliper and that the 99 was not the same and also what about rotors and pads from a 03 will it fit a 99?

I believe it does fit, but if you have 16" wheel, it will not fit. You will need 17" wheel for extra clearance. I think Pads and rotors are the same.

The 03 is a 2nd gen. The type-s did NOT have different brakes. The 3rd gen got the brembos

if you wanna do a brake upgrade go with legend dual piston calipers.... there should be a diy for it on in the sticky.

your buddy is a fool or a liar
just look at his front brakes- are they giant calipers or the same as yours?

As said above- upgrade is 2 piston calipers off a Legend LS-C
they are way better than stock and cost $1000 less than a real BBK upgrade

yea your friend is probably just stupid, 3rd gens have brembo, we do not. And yes, 16" does clear the calibers but barely.

on gen3 its not a straight swap to brembos on the AT cars either

But there is a bracket now being made to allow the RL/TL brembo caliper to fit our car with a 350z rotor.

also not the type-s of the 3g Tl, but the manual tranny cars had the brembo brakes

kris- whats the Z rotor got over ours in a RB rotors with its trick cooling and side slots?

larger diameter, then stock replacement "performance" rotors, like an 1" larger
plus you can get the RB rotors for a 350z also


look for e30cabrio or civicdrivr, they both have done the rl conversion, with 350z rotors

Im guessing you need 17" wheels or better to do the larger diameter setup
For the TL and how I drive it, the RB and legends are a nice slowing and stopping combination

NOPE, look at e30cabrio's cl on fsttyms1 post with the link, he has the 04-08 base TL 17" rims on his car, so they do fit 17", just gotta make sure the RL calipers will clear the back of the rim, so no stockie rims for us, without at least a spacer for enough clearence to the spoke itself

fries- I said 17 or better (larger)
my 01-p came with 16s but has enkei 17s now

they are 17's on e30cabrio's, so yes a 18 or 19 should fit no problem also, as long as the spoke clearence is enough on the back

where can I get that bracket from for CL/TL fitment?
