datsunlover Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Well, I am sure anything is possible, but don't know of a 'pre-fab kit' already out there... Personaly I am the DIY, or build it my self kind of guy. I would start by taking apart your brakes, and "eye balling" the new calipers next to the stock ones. Look at the mounting holes, figure out spacing, ect. Find out what diameter the Skyline rotors are, compare to someting else like... 300zxt maybe? I dono.. wit some work and thought put into it, you could make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t know about a kit ??? Try a search. Hybridz member "Mark" is one that I know has done this swap. Search for his posts and you will find his info. He also has some pics in his personal gallery. There also are other members that have developed "kits" for our cars. Search for Mike Gibson (aka) SCCA and Ross (Modern Motorsports). There are others also, sorry I missed some of them.
