tonycharger72 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 There are 3 Rotors that i know of that folk use when doing the Toyota 4-spot Vented Caliper upgrade, 1984-85 300zx Vented Rotor (# DBA-608) 1980-88 Peugeot 505 Vented Rotor (# DBA-272) 1987-91 Honda Legend Rotor (# DBA-185) In can find lots of info about the first two, but not much about the Honda Rotor, This is what ive found out so far in regards to the Honda Rotor, Its 282mm and needs to be turned down to suit the Toyota Caliper mounting position, to about 274mm approx, Centre hole needs to be enlargended (hope thats a word) from about 64mm to 81mm, Rotor has 4 bolt holes with a PCD of 114.3 so is a perfect match for the Zed, Its the correct thickness to suit the Toyota Vented Caliper, And the rotor itself has an overall thickness of 51mm, So i would assume that if you used 240z hubs there would be no change at all in wheel off-set, if you used the 260 hubs it would increase by about 7.5mm, Has anyone ever used the Honda Legend Rotors and 4-spot Toyota Calipers?

olie05 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The brake rotor would not affect the offset of the wheel because they are bolted on to the back of the hub, not to the same face as the wheel. This rotor swaps seems like a little too much work compared with the 300zx rotor. -Oliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 The Peugeot conversion is worth a look, I picked up a cheap pair of used rotors in a wreckers then had them faced, just make sure that they are not worn down too much before you buy them. Using 260 hubs the center hole had to be opened out and the four retaining bolt holes redrilled, but that was it. They lined up with the calipers, without spacers, within .5mm which was good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grimlynsan Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I have used the honda legend rotors with toyo calipers and it worked fine. If you have a lathe it only takes an afternoon to do (and i was very slow and careful. 1. I switched my hubs to 240k hubs (this helps with the calipers fitting under the stock wheels) 2. Decreased the diameter of the rotors considerably to the point that they fit under the caliper 3. Redrilled the holes in the rotor for the studs (as the honda ones aren't large enough) 4. Now at this stage i thought all was finished and slid on the rotor. I was wrong. It doesnt sit flat on the hub. I had to mildly chamfer the inside of the hole that goes over the hub so it would sit flat. Once again not too difficult. 5. I needed to put some thin washers between the mount and the calipers to center them properly on the discs. All works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
