1970 Datsun 240z FRONT big brake kits/swap HELP!

[jungo93]

hi i have just acquired some calipers from a 1995 Toyota 4Runner "s13wb" marked calipers, can any one help me figure out which rotors, spacers, or any modifications in order to have these calipers function properly? i have heard you can use rotors off a 1984 300zx 4lug but they did not mention anything about spacers or back plate trimming.

any feed back would be much appreciated, thank you ;]

The best advice I can give you is go to HybridZ and do a search for brake jobs. There is a sticky there that outlines the entire brake swap caliper/master cylinder combo you will need.

It will save you a ton of time and money

Go here and read up: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/39435-help-what-brake-options-are-available-for-s30-z-cars/

And the S13W caliper requires a rotor 25mm wide. Finding a 4 lug rotor that wide is a challenge. The more commonly used S12W caliper requires a 22mm caliper which works with the readily available 300ZX rotor.

I'm getting ready to do the same swap, but mine are stamped s12 8. Is that the same as the w?

no yours are slightly smaller, the w stands for wide i believe..
