wigenOut-S30 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hey guys, I finally got all the bits to do my toyota 4x4 caliper and Z31 vented rotor brake upgrade. I hope to get it done this weekend. I also have everything for the rears as well accept the stainless brake lines.Here are some pics of the front stuff minus the hub since that is on my Z. heh.. First pic is the Z31 vented rotor with the MMS spacer, along with the Z31 non vented rear rotor. second pic here is the toyota 4x4 4 piston calipers. I painted them black Here are a couple of pics of the rotor, mms spacer and caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wigenOut-S30 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 89- toyota 4x4 pickup V6 .. should have S-12-W stamped on the calipers Z31= first gen 300zx. If you are staying wtih 4 lug.. you will need 84-85 non turbo 300zx front vented rotors Also you will need spacers so the calipers will line up on the rotors correctly. I got mine from Ross at Modern Motorsports. Great guy to deal with and the parts are of the highest quality.Here is a link to his site http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/default.php Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonycharger72 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Maybe its the angle............ But f#ck, what kind of wheels can you use with those calipers, the hub isnt installed, but its about an 1" thick, it looks like those calipers will overhang the mounting face of the hub by about 20-30mm (1") or so???

Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Great pics Wigenout, looking great! Drop us a line once installed with your impressions on performance . Id also like to do this swap on my Z but I just have a question for ya? what toyota 4x4 calipers are they from or should I look for? and z31 rotors im new to the nissan world here but what car and year are those??.... Traub83' date=' I assume you've got a 70-78 Z (and not an '83?). Calipers are: *Calipers are OEM pieces for Toyota 89-95 4WD Pickups and 4/89-91 4Runner, stamped on caliper is S12W Rotors are: 84-85 300ZX, buy non-turbo for 4lug and turbo for 5lug as wigenout noted. (Tony, most 15's and larger clear, some 14's require slim 1/16" up to 1/4" spacers to clear caliper to wheel face, we make them infrequently as required for customers that encounter this) Full package info noted here: http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=48 Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
