A few questions on the 4X4 brake converstion.....

[Guest BernieJ]

Have just recently purchased the spacers for the 4X4 brake converstion kit from jskinnovations, and I have a few questions.

 

1.) Which model of 1984 300zx Rotors does one have to buy? (According to the partsource guy up here in Canada there are three different models to choose from.)

 

2.) Also I take it from the other posts on here that I should be getting the brake calipers from V6 1988 4X4 4Runner. Is this right?

 

3.) Last but not least is there anything else I need for the conversion? I am putting this on a 1975 280Z.

 

Thanks in Advance

if your calipers are marked as S12W, they'll need a machined spacer to go between hub and rotor, and you'll need to get the 300zx 4 lug non-turbo vented rotors from a 1984 300zx. you may also want to look into getting flexible braided stainless steel lines while you're at it.

http://www.modern-motorsports.com has the info on the rotors on their brake page... also you can buy the machined spacer you need from there as well. I did!

I have the 1984 toyota 4-runner 4wd v6 truck calipers, and they fit fine on the stock 260z rotors. Stock cross-drilled rotors are available from Motorsport Auto for around $79 each. No spacers or special brackets are needed with this setup. Only thing I had to change was cutting away the duxt cover a little, and moving the hose mount.

 

I mean dust cover.

Wow thanks for all the help guys, now that the brakes are going to get done I can finally put the new 3.1 L turbo engine into the car.
