Chapz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Someone offered me his whole stock front and rear brakes of a Skyline GT-R (1994) to upgrade my brake system on my 260Z (1974). Does anyone have try to fit the skyline brake system on a 260Z (1974)? If so, is there any modifications to be made. Is it possible to recover some parts? Thank for communicate your personal experience. Edited January 7, 2012 by Chapz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 FYI, on this forum, chances are if you can think of it, somebody here has already tried it and posted about it. So, it's expected that you will search extensively first and then only ask questions if you're really stuck. Nigel '73 240ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel '73 240ZT Thank for your comment, but give me a chance I'm starting on the internet blog system I do not know if you have observed it's my first post. I was just hoping someone to tell me yes or no to my question or someone gives me a link to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure on the rears. Thank Newie for your help is greatly appreciated, it's good start as the first post on my topic. But I don't have a lot of experience in mechanics and I try to find (if possible) someone who has made ​​a post or can tell me what brakes parts (Skyline GT-R 1994) is compatible as bolt on directly on a 260Z 1974, or what parts of Skyline GT-R 1994 is compatible by making some changes or forget that this is absolutely not compatible simply etc. Because in the forums and blog, I lose myself in the description when the world talks about S30, Z32, Z31, Z33, GT, skyline.

For what it's worth those calipers are the same as 300ZX twin turbo calipers if they are the sumitomo calipers. If they are Brembos off the V-spec II then they are still the same bolt spacing on the mounting ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
