Toyota hi lux calipers

[Fairlineguy]

I have read several posts on fitting Toyota four pot calipers to a 240
This looks to be a good cost option.
Any one know if I am looking at the correct calipers and discs on eBay and will I need hub spacers?

Just remember that they are heavy.

Those are the S12W calipers, that work with the Z31 NA 300zx vented discs and require a 1/2" hub spacer. I have them on my car.

Looks the way to go.
Are thes the disc that we are saying work with a spacer and S12W calipers

As Sean says they are heavy.

Have Wilwood calipers on one of mine, still able to fit 15 x 8 zero offset without any spacers.

If you're about this week, you are welcome to come across and look at the set up.

No. The item you highlighted is a 5 stud disc.

If you're looking for good cost options, good condition standard 2 pot callipers with fresh dot 5.1 fluid and some decent pads work well, even for track time.
Is there a problem you're trying to fix, or just fancy 4 pots?

 

[richiep]

No. The item you highlighted is a 5 stud disc.

As Pmac notes, avoid the 5 stud discs, which is what you will find most of the time on eBay. It's very specifically the early Z31 NA (84-85) with 4 stud hubs. Try Rockauto.com - you might find they sell them.

Or use Peugeot vented disc's

I believe these are the ones that fit, with machining as mentioned in the other thread

Big, heavy brakes on the outside of the hubs and on spacers...surely can't be the best equation for decent handling....?

True, but then you have the hassle of getting the machining done. Z31 discs are bolt-on, and the required hub spacers are available from a number of sources.

Heavy wheels and calipers add to unsprung weight, which has negative effects on handling

Yes, but they are incredibly hard to come by in the UK, i need some for a brake upgrade next year, so if you know a supplier who actually has them in stock, do tell?
