Guest zwhore Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 ok, before i waste a whole lotta money i want to be clear on what i need. (yes i used search). so if i use a 86 zxt front hub, do i have to use the willwood brakes or can i use the toyota s13wb calipers and a 300zx rotor. pics would be a great help. i plan on buying the rear conversion from MM, so all i need is helpwith the fronts thanks tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Looking for apt in Alb Ny Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Hey Tony. I just came out with a 5 lug setup. Here they are using a Wilwoods. If you are creative you can make yourself a custom rotor and caliper application if you choose not to use wilwood parts. You can email me at JSK@jskinnovations.com I dont know if anyone else is providing a 5 lug setup at this time using larger than stock brakes for the 5 lug on 70-78. Here is the photo that you requested this thing is built like a tank and have had more than satisfied people already installing them. Also check this link out form earlier post on the 5 lug. http://hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=235457#235457 Its really over built but thats what people have been asking for here. Package is still lighter than a 300zx vented swap toyota caliper upgrade. Thanks buddy Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j260z Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 if you go the route of the nissan 5 lug hub, rotor and toyota s13w calipers you will also need a spacer that goes between the hub and rotor to line everything up. i know that Ross C. at MML sells a kit for that setup and last time i checked Juan at JSK was making spacers for that setup. if you are looking at cost then i think the least expensive setup would be the 5 lug/toyota setup and it does work well but the only drawback is in the weight with the calipers alone weighing about 12 lbs. each. if you are looking for an awesome light weight setup then i would consider either the MML 13" kit or JSKs willwood setup.

Clifton Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Here's another option, AZ Z Car. Has to be the lightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 MML has 13" brakes for the z31 hubs... Personally, I would rather have a 5 lug hub the correct/stock offset... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
