#1 THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE
bobthebuilder Posted on: 2011/7/17 8:37
Looks like we have managed to jam some real brakes under 13" rims.
Fronts are landcruiser 4 spots on 200B or 240z struts with a drilled and slotted rotor.

Backs are going to be skyline discs and VS commodore caliper.

I have had heaps of people tell me that these brakes won't fit under 13" rims but we have had wheels bolted on them and they had clearance

Cheers
Bob

yes, good job. Also the 280ZX vented brakes fit under 13" alloy wheels (but not steel wheels)

are they solid rotors? will they hold up stopping that blue rocket you drive?

sweet! do you have a picture of the bracket for the front?

there are no brackets they are a direct fit,just had to machine 10mm off rotor.

Hopefully these mothers will pull the old girl up Ange

Thought 4 spot fit stanza struts and rotors, so would also fit 200b.

Great work though. I debating on a further upgrade on the front of mine too

im sure the brakes will pull it up, i'd be more worried about how many times in a row they will last being only a solid disc

if the calipers are to suit a solid disc then they are actually hilux calipers not landcruiser ones. Cruiser ones suit a 20 something mm thick vented disc which might be a better way to go eventually if you end up getting brake fade with the solid discs as im pretty sure they suit the same diameter rotor of the hilux ones but are a slightly different offset

but i think simon(sikyne) kinda beat you to fitting real brakes under 13s with these
