pparaska Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 (Moved this from the Chevy V8 forum.) Definitely check out http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes_zcar.html Look at the 3rd conversion down. The brake conversion involves redrilling for 5lug. HTH, [ August 11, 2001: Message edited by: pparaska ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 12, 2001 Share Posted August 12, 2001 Yes, I've done this with guidance form MikeSCCA over at Fonebooth.com. The rear hubs are a PITA to drill but can be done if you're careful and follow Mike's steps for drilling them. If you don't or push the bit you'll trash it completely! Mike makes a nice punch to really ease this task too.. The front is MUCH easier and involves swapping to 300ZX hubs and drilling them. I used ARP studs all around. My wheels ended up being Mustang wheels by Konig with +20mm in back and +40mm in front. I used small spacers to get it just right. This was with 17X8 wheels so YMMV. All in all it wasn't too bad to do but it's probably easiest if you're switching to disk brakes in the back.
