go for it nash. i just put a set of second gen rx-7 trbo breaks on my friends n/a rx-7. i thought about just holding them up to my steering knuckls to see if it was posible but i never did.
you know you can fit the 350z brembos on with an adapter plate right? and the 300zxtt calipers too. no luck on the tacoma calipres? i've eyed them on a car at work and wonderd if i could make them fit.

i'm with ya on this idea. the stock rotors are pretty big. so just a caliper upgrade would be sweet. good luck to ya.

350 z brakes are mega cash so ti way out of the qestion as in will it work the 300zx has the same montes so it just be super dooper night shade kit

my buddie is 300zx freak he told me that you choudl swap onteh 350 brakes so i cna see it working for out car wores case is you might have to flip left and right so the bleed is at the top


i gonna try the boxer ones sicne i got em for free then rx7

Nash, still working on our idea that I shared with you. I might just have it figured out.

Ryan: The Mk4 centre hole is 62mm (Mk3=60)

I didn't use the Mk4 callipers but there is a guide on Mk3 Tech to bolt up the rears.

NFI on the fronts sorry.

I made my own adaptors for my AP 4spots.

 

[NashMan]

ohhh i thought you used the mk4 hubs or some thing

 

[NashMan]

Nash, still working on our idea that I shared with you. I might just have it figured out.

well the biggest prob is suckign in the hub i don't knwo if you really can do that but if you can it may work
then the monting ear's have to be shaven down so that the pad cover the hole rotor cause with the ear's hit the stock montes for the knuclke

doy ou want me to snap yae some pic's or some thing pm me or reply back to this thread

ps i recomond no one buying a capler just yet tell me and jhon figure this riddle out cause it is a toughy

 

[IJ.]

Nope Mk3 parts!

I pressed some aluminium rings onto the Mk3 Hubs then turned them to 62mm to locate the Mk4 rotors.

 

[NashMan]

oh

i wounder how hard it whoudl be to add mk4 nuckles or caliper on the mk3

since we don't have mk4 at work it kidna suck we used to have one but ti got parted out really quick

 

[IJ.]

From memory it can be done but it moves the front wheels in quite a bit.

 

[NashMan]

yae i know that they suck the wheels in alot i think it is like some thnig lke 1 to 2 inc's

but i though t i remmber you saying that it chould be done ect with the wheel in the proper spaceing

 

[Asterix]

It's been a while since I've seen the picture, but I believe the Mk4 spindle on a Mk3 moves the wheel towards the rear of the car, which messes up the alignment something fierce. It's gonna drive really funny. Search here and Supraforums (if search works for you). Other people have tried this already and decided it doesn't work.

Ryan: Nah wasn't me I'd always stay with the Mk3 parts where I could!

 

[NashMan]

yae it mess with the caster and so forth but it make it easyer to trun the wheel but will under street like a mad man

the boxer brake's don't fit
mazada just like i knew use's 12 inc rotor

what is the rotor size on 3rd gen rx7 i think it 14 but i may be wroung cause they had 16 inc wheels so this raise my eye brow a bit

 

[kwnate]

Cheap brakes? Don't you have a 67mm turbo???????

 

[NashMan]

yes and what i mean by cheep as in better then what i ahve now cause really your stoping power is base on your tire's not your brake's

soem times have huge meaty brake's cna be bad cause they have tendies of lock up ect

Yeah, stock is 11.6" x 22 mm thick. The calipers are fixed though. They may be worth looking into.

 

[NashMan]

well we don't have a rx7 brake at my work right now

i did some testing tonight wiht new caliper and it just may work the con are my wheel will be 1 1/2stick out more witch whould make funny off set and i have to flare my fender's

i whould have to bring out the rear as well to match the front

we will see

 

[NashMan]

well i am done wiht this brakes testign nothign out there wants me to continu what i am doing there is reson why no one has done it yet cause there is nto good eghough match to make it work well

the v6 truck can works but you have to briung your wheel out 1 inc and well i just don't fell like fucking wiht my track that much


well i am done gave it my best shot
