Fitting Another Cars Brakes Onto Your Car

[Milhouse]

What are the legal requirements for doing something like this ?

does anyone know of a company who will make up brackets to suit another caliper setup ?

would be helpful to know, gonna try put nissan 4 pot calipers onto the laser to remove the standard single piston brakes...

basically the difference in turbo and normal brakes on the laser, is a bigger rotor using the same calipers as every model...

just wanting something a big meatier in the stopping dept :)

any help would be great guys

cheers.

Needs to be engineered and completed by a registered brake place afaik dude.

hmmm well it seems the skyline brakes wont work, laser has a floating caliper setup, where the skyline has a floating rotor setup..

heres a few photos of an RX7 4pot conversion on a tx3, this is what i am looking to do now, dunno if its legal the way this guy has done it tho... bare in mind that this is a racecar and not a street car.

This is what the guy posted under his photos.


They are Series IV RX 7 4 spot calipers.
The rotors are 285 mm slotted and vented Brembo items.
The standard hub has been retained with the use of longer studs.

that should go a helluva lot better i reckon hahah, just gotta find the parts now :)

That little bracket on the bottom looks a little dodge.If those bolts came loose that caliper would flapn around on the rotor.

owian, the floating calliper asembly is removeable, so skyline brakes will work, you will need to get dog bones machined up to fit them on, maximum motorsport did this for me on my rex, will prolly cost a bit, say 4-500, but will solve your issue, and just redrill the stock nissan rotors to suit
