Guest Pegasus76 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I am thinking about getting the 4x4 calipers from the Toyota...Is it true you can just bolt right on? and space your rotor and everything would be perfect? What else would I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Pretty straight forward, the only things i ran into were my 83' turbo rims were rubbing on a hump on the caliper. I was very hesitant at first to shave the hump down, but i got it ground down and fortunately i didnt hit anything. franklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I have the 4x4 toy on my 72. they work great. The only other thing is that you will need to trim the dust sheild and bend the line a bit. other wise straight bolt up. -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Baldwin Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I have the stock 240Z calipers on my track/street 240Z, and THEY work great. Otaku, what will you be using this car for, and how much hp will you be making? The answers to these questions will determine what, if ANYthing, you need to modify from stock. Fact is, the Toyo brake calipers have ~4% greater piston area than stock. This means more front bias, which means you'd theoretically increase your stopping distance (stock setup is already appropriately overbiased to the fronts). Unless you're making a TON more hp than stock AND are doing roadrace track work, the stock setup with good pads/shoes and fresh fluid (trackworthy on both counts if that's what you'll be doing) will suffice.

Guest Pegasus76 Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Dan...I have a 1976 280Z running a 350 Chevy in there. Previous owner did the swap so I have no idea where it came out of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
