As the subject says, is there someone who makes a kit to install Nissan 4 Spot brake on a Vl?

Also what would be the cost of such a conversion??:)

Hey dude,
I don't know any1 who makes a kit but i've fitted them to my VLt,
Wasn't too diffcult and the difference they made was awsome!

U can check out some pics of my brakes and other stuff here (http://www.users.bigpond.com/allanreynolds/twinvl/)

The brakes and rotors are from a 300zx, the same as a r32 gts-t.
A single flat mounting bracket is all thats needed to mount the calipers, the rotors are another story. I modified the 300zx rotors and some old vl hubs, and fitted the rotors to the back of the hub with the wheel studs all the way through aswell as countersunk bolts to hold the rotors on.
I would suggest tring to get some custom aftermarket rotor/hubs.

Very well worth the effot :)
Cheers, Darren.

Thanks TwinVL.:) BTW, do you have a template for the adaptor plate??? Also, you would have needed custom brake lines wouldn't u?:)

Jet-747,

Custom brake lines? nope, they fitted directly with a spacer.

Template? I found the cardboard 1 few weeks ago, don't know where it is now but it wasn't perfect anyway. So no, no template.

i've now put up some details on my site -

Hugo, it cost me $550 + about 2 weeks work a/h all up.
That's mates rates on parts.


Cheers.
