Nightpager discs

[BigSupe]

I have just bought a front nightpager brake setup from an imported jza70 R which had a 900hp 2jz-gte fitted, the engine was removed and fitted into a mk4, the shell was broken for parts ( horrible waste)

Anyway the jza70 R doesn't have abs so the 320mm discs wont go over the hubs on mine, I'm wondering if I could grind 1-2mm of the hub so the discs slip on? has anyone done this before?

You mean the dust cover? If so you can grind it down and or cut it.

No its the front of the hub where the wheel studs are, the outer diameter is just slightly to big for the discs to fit on, it looks like I could grind it down a little around the entire circumfrance and the disc should slip on, just seeing if this was the norm. Because I bought the complete kit second hand I'm not sure what car the 320mm vented discs are off

Well, that's news to me. I thought abs and non-abs hubs were the exact same size, and therefore the discs as well. If we're talking 1-2mm, then I would THINK you could have the discs machined, but that's kinda playing with fire, you know? why not source a set of hubs that fit them?

 

[BigSupe]

Don't want to touch the discs as they may crack or fail, the hub however has lots of excess material that could be shaven off

post some pictures of that nightpager kit and your rotors, i'm interested to see what all the fuss about nightpager kits are all about.

the discs will be off a mkiv, they have a slightly smaller hub than the mk3.
Bondy off the mk3 uk site has machined his hubs down so the discs fit.

Ahh gotcha. Never heard of it done but then again I never really looked in to a MK4 brake upgrade.

 

[BigSupe]

So the discs I have are probably off the mk4 does anyone know what type/size spacer's came with the original kit from japan

Apparently the mk4 discs need a spacer behind them

toss the rotor's and buy 350z brembo rotor's

Over here the 350z track discs are expensive the cheapest you can get them is £200 for ebc plain discs, or £480 for genuine nissan:aigo:

Is there anywhere over the pond I could get them cheaper?

Here's how the MKIV TT kit mounts to the rear, if you're interested. Click pics to enlarge:










By the way, this is the kit that Jakespeed had made some years back.

I run the 350Z rotors with my Nightpager kit. They work great. I did try to grind the hub down to fit the MK4 rotors, it is doable but not the best answer.
