I've been looking at front brake conversion solutions for my 240. I'm planning to use the T3 full rear end conversion which will allow me to use my rear 5-lug hubs and brakes from a Skyline. The problem is that T3 don't make a front end solution.
A lot of the other kits I've seen for big brake conversions rely on aftermarket parts and split rotor/bell style discs.
I have a set of big Brembos from an R33 GTR so I wanted to make a kit which would allow me to fit these to the car so that any replacement parts such as discs or pads would be available as off the shelf skyline parts.
I'm just finishing up my CAD drawings for a custom hub and caliper mounting bracket. I'm hopefully going to be getting them machined in the next couple of weeks.
It occurred to me that other people might be interested in a similar kit so thought I'd post on here to see if anyone is, that way I can get several sets made at once.
Currently the kit will be as follows:
2 x 5-lug front hubs with 5x114.3 PCD (Material TBC, either 316 or Ti).
2 x Caliper mounting bracket (Material TBC, either 316 or Ti).
This will essentially provide a kit which will allow an easy bolt on solution for anyone wanting to fit Brembo calipers to their 240. I'm just doing a little research but I think that it should allow the easy fitment of calipers, pads and discs from R33 GTR and R34 GTR cars.
Price of parts will depend on the number of sets made but I think they should come in somewhere similar in price to the T3 hubs if I get a few done.
