brianZortiz Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I'm sure he ran a custom bracket. There is currently a bracket that will work with z32 calipers on an s30z in the vendors section here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlars30z Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What size are the spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickiewicked240z Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yes made a caliper bracket 1/2 steel..spacers are 1/2 for the rotors. Inside diameter of rotors has to be made bigger and new holes redrilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s30zgt Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Something ive wondered about the Z32 caliper swap. What do you do in terms of proportioning. Is a proportioning valve needed to run these with stock drums or is the bias close to stock? Bigger master cylinder and booster needed as well? Im guessing that most that do this will probably pair this up with disk brakes on the rear as well and need a bigger master/booster. Ive read a lot of posts about toyo calipers/240sx rear caliper combos and not being able to set the bias correctly. im just wondering what is needed to get these working in a properly set up braking system. I personally would like to run these with my stock drums since i have already spent some money getting the drums back in shape (aluminum drums relining, wheel cylinders, stainless steel brake lines).
