Who broke my search dammit.

rear- yes (granted you need the calipers as well):

front- no.

Fronts *can* fit... but you have to put more effort into it than you did your search

You show me how the front rotors/calipers can fit and I'll paypal you $100

Night Pager kit, uses MKIV rotors and 300ZX calipers. the night pager kit is simply caliper adapters and rotor shims IIRC. the MKIV rotor fits on the hub if you take some material off the inside i think

you need a 2mm ring spacer to keep MK4 front rotors hubcentric on a MK3 front hub, that is, if what I've read and seen elsewhere is true.

do i get $100 now?

Nah, it wouldn't be worth all the effort just to prove a point. $100 wouldn't begin to reimburse me for the parts alone.

Just remember. Everything's possible.

anything *can* fit.....just depends on how motivated you are to build proper brackets, etc.

i wouldn't call using MKIV spindles the best way either....you'll destroy your car's handling by doing so.

not to mention it moves the tire further back in the wheelwell, and looks like complete ass...

yeeeps. that's due to the radical change in caster....

No because that kit used 300zx calipers.

MK4 spindles, SC300 spindles.. they just dont work.

Sure is, if you know someone who can make you cast iron spindles. :nono:

yea but your a rich machinest with the recorces to do it. i would just spring for a big brake kit. :dunno:

 

[jawsgear]

I would like a picture if anyone has been able to make MKIV calipers work on a MKIII. Not just the rotors, but the rotor and caliper combination. Ain't happening, trust me after days of machining, grinding, and welding. For sure!

heh. check out 4cefed.com. and there was a pic around of someone's car with the mkiv setup on the front, too. it looked like an anus.

the rear brake/caliper install is relatively common now-a-days...
