I'm looking into the possibility of using Nissan or Subaru Calipers to get a 4 spot/2 spot brake upgrade.
This is mainly due to the price/availability of the genuine ST205 GT4 versions.
I already have the following to the measure up:
One pair single piston floating front calipers (same as Camry, Celica) - my old ones
One pair of Nissan R32 Skyline front calipers & discs (left over from a mates half cut)
What I also want is to check the rear brakes as well.
Does anyone have the following parts that they could lend me so I could check measurements:
Celica/Camry rear calipers & discs
Nissan spot rear calipers & discs or Subaru Impreza ones.
(If I can't find the latter, I'll try to be nice to an importer to measure up one of theirs)
perhaps an idea would be to go out to pick and payless to measure up the brakes on the camry/celica. but when i went there no impreza's etc. you realise though that there are different PCD's for (older) camry/celica/subaru vs. nissan.
Subaru has same 5x100, Nissan is 5x114.3, but is easy to redrill the holes on the disc of a 5 stud to anther 5 stud pattern.
Good suggestion though.
Now to find some Nissan stuff.
Might do the measuring up in Brissie over Christmas. The wreckers up there don't make their money by charging you $2 entry each time.
