I got hold of some M-type front brake for my 32. but i just got the calipers and rotors and a few fitting that go with it....

this is from http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ml&hl=brake

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To do conversion:

a) type-m 4pot caliper x 2

B) type-m brake lines and all fittings x 2 (mandatory!) <----------------------------------- ZOMG! My lines were cut!!!!!

c) type-m spec discs, which will generally be much thicker than the non type-m

d) brake fluid bottles x 2 (DOT 3 or better rating) - supercheap auto

e) brake bleed kit (supercheap auto)

"In a way this is one of the more fiddly parts of the process. Make sure you have the type-m lines or equivelent, as the non type-m have a different thread pattern on the caliper end and WILL NOT work (trust me I tried)"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that means i need M Type lines from somewhere?

has any1 done this conversion b4, any help would b appreciated!

What are you trying to do? Just convert to the larger 4 pot brakes?

That person you quoted that you'll need to get the bigger brake's lines as well, so I guess you'll need them, but doesn't hurt to try if your smaller brake's lines fit. You'll have to bleed the brakes, but that's not hard work.

Hahah, yeah, if you've got a turbo 32, you'll most likely already have the 4 pot brakes.

im not sure about non-spec GTS-t's, i think they still ran the 4-pots but smaller? i cant remember, but by the looks of his sig his is a m-spec anyway going by the front bar in the image (m-spec front bar)

Yeah, the GTSt's that weren't type-m didn't have the 4 pot's as factory items from what I know, but most turbo models being brought into Australia are type-m anyway (I'm pretty sure :D ).

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌
