twoeightyzx Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Out of curiosity, would you consider making more of the rear brake brackets to sell in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djz Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 What are you going to do for a handbrake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicktopzx Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Any more updates? I've been working on the same concept on an 79 zx 2+2. RB26 AWD. This thread is very helpful any pics of how you mounted the AWD setup yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovenfood Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Sort of off topic but here is a link to someone who has done an AWD conversion to an R31 if you are interested. The big difference I see with most AWD conversions and a Z is the engine position. In a GTR the engine is much more forward so there is going to be more fab than in cars like R31's and S12's and all the other cars that have had this done to them.

niroshann Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Hi, awesome work and detailing. Are you able to supply the front and rear caliper mounting brackets or dimensions? Any progress?? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was beginning to think NO ONE ELSE in the US had one of these rare lil' nuggets of goodness! I've only owned mine for about 10 months, and took it from "mothballed over a decade and not running" to now a daily driver. there are still issues, of course, BUT... Ya just don't see these things on the road! I'd be interested in knowing if you had to fab any parts in getting the 5-lug to fit, and if so, whether you could fab/sell them to me. I'm a technician at a local indie shop, but we dont have any of the expertise to fab brake/suspension parts... at least, not to a degree i'd be willing to trust my S130 on! Thanks for sharing this wonderful project, and i'll probably be calling you about this! Sorry I never responded to this... I had my settings wrong and was not getting email notifications. We can build these anytime and in fact are buidling another Z like this in our shop right now. Call me at 813-877-7600 if you are interested Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them on the shelf and ready to go. We are also making a front adapter to run 8-piston AMG calipers and 15" rotors http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350846964054&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
