August 9, 200717 yr comment_217884 I picked up a set of struts from a wreckers lying aound for my old 240k a few years back.They ere about 275mm ventilated disks. Made a huge difference.Same size disk as the early 300z. I believed they were out of a 1988 silouette skyline australian model.

February 5, 200817 yr Author comment_236431 Hi Matt,unfortunately i didn't actually get the R31/Z32 combo installed, so i can't really help.. i originally had the hilux/accord combo on the front (with steel wheels, not that it was ever on the road in this setup), which i then replaced with R34 GTT calipers and rotors with custom mounts.I still have the Z32 N/A calipers here though if anyone wants them.. and i also have 2 BNIB rear caliper mount to suit a DR30 (early models that used a bracket rather than being welded to the arm), which should fit straight up to the rear axle..

February 14, 200817 yr comment_237090 Do you have a booster to go with that master? also what master/booster combo are you using? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/18979-anyone-for-a-brake-upgrade/?&page=2#findComment-237090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
February 14, 200817 yr Author comment_237094 no, i am afraid not.. but it should work with the standard booster..i am using a 1" DR30 skyline master on mine (apparently pretty rare now).. and i "think" that the booster was a 10" R31 item (but it could have been a DR30 one too..)

February 15, 200817 yr comment_237182 My std booster is the size of your fist and looks more like a clutch booster than a brake one. I'll look into getting a DR30 set up like you. Have you tested your brakes out yet?
