Guest RENN TURTON Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Hi all, I have a set of front hub & rotor from an 87zxt that I would like to install on to a 82zxt. My question is, can I use the original 82zxt caliper, or do I need calipers from 87zxt donor and would this require any spacers to work? On the rear, after drilling stub axels to accept 5 lug, can I use the vented rotors from 87zxt along with caliper to complete swap? Is a spacer required? Thank you gentlemen in advance any imput would be greatly appreciated. RENNZXT IN LOS ANGELES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 hate to tell you but none of it will fit. i tried to fit a 87 turbo hub and the calipers are different offset and differnt pattern so its a NO go totally... rears didnt try .........

Guest RENN TURTON Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Hi SCCA! My question know is what do I need to convert to 5 lugs? What parts can I pick up at the local Pick-Your Part, also what parts do I have to buy from you to make it work? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scca Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 5 lug fronts. what i call stage #3 . you would need to source your own front hubs from a 84-6 300zx, i can make brackets to use the 87 5 lug stuff up front (i think) but this will NOT be a bolt on and it will require welding. rears.: cheap! i have 2 new rotors sitting here that will slide on a 82-3 car and you use your calipers. all you need to do is drill the pattern, if you have a 79-81 car you will need to update the calipers to the later style. $100 for the rotors or $150 with 10 studs and a self centering punch to mark for drilling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted February 2, 2002 Share Posted February 2, 2002 Renn, my front setup with 13" Brembo rotors bolts on using those 5lug hubs you have, just an option (once your hubs are setup with larger OD ARP's for strength). A pic or two on my web below. Out back it can be as simple as redrilling your current 4lug rotors to 5lug once your stub axles are done as I did and end effect leaving rear brakes intact, or you can buy new 5 lug rotors and swap calipers as Mike mentions.
