Update on the Toyota brake upgrade!

[ZmeFly]

I have found a new and better source. Anyone that is concidering doing the basic swap for the 70-78 Z with the toyota 4 piston caliper that fits the stock rotors I can now sell them at 125.99 This includes new remaned calipers, new semi-metallic brakes, new pins and rattle clip.

If you are interested in the 4 piston setup using the 300ZX vented rotor, I can sell those at 275.00 for everything but the spacer. I'm still trying to find somone to make these spacers for a good price. If i can the whole set up which would be new remaned calipers (S12W), new semi- metallic brakes, new pins and rattle clip, and new Bendix 300ZX rotors.

If I find a place to make the spacers for the rotors I'll try to sell the whole kit for 325.00 that will include the spacers. I'm hoping with this new shop I'll get lucky.

Let me know what you guys think

What pads come with these? Are upgraded pads available? Are the calipers OEM Toyota or aftermarket?

[ZmeFly]

toyota remaned, not new, the brake pads are bendix semi-metalics, as is the rotors if you buy the vented rotor set up.

On another note, I should be coming into some Nissan 3.70 LSD's very shortly. If your interested let me know, Im needing some extra cash to fund my need for speed :devious:

I wouldn't be so lucky to have found an R180 3.7 LSD would I? If they are R180 how much do you want?

[2ManyZs]

No such luck.. these will be R-200's from Z31's.....

[ZmeFly]

the only way and the only way i would recommend getting an LSD for an R180 is threw Quaife, there is no substitute

I'd be interested in one or two of those stock rotor setups. I've got a thread with a whole load of stuff up for sale/trade. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9051 .Do you see anything there you might need? I'm low on cash (v8 swap), so anything you'd be willing to trade for would be great

I see what you mean but I think they are the wide ones!

And… you could always ask

[z_boi]

Will the vented set fit inside of 14in rims?

[ZmeFly]

i do know that with the stock rotor set up that it will fit with the 14 inch wheel.

some people have said that they have had the vented rotor set up on 14's but then had to shave a small portion of the caliper to make it work.

i dont have any proof or knowledge that it does work, maybe someone else can enlighten.
