Very nice, you got to stop to go again. Those calipers make the rotors look miniscule. Are you running aftermarket wheels or will the stocks clear on these. How much does that car weigh?

That my friend... is ridiculous. Can we get some photos of how it all goes together?

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

Those Nissan struts you have (if they're 280ZX) should support Toyota 4x4 4-piston calipers and Z32 4-piston calipers without modification. You can fit a 10" rotor without moving the stock mounting location.

I'm sure you won't need more than the stock 2 piston calipers, but who cares. I'm going to run Z32 (GT-R32) aluminum calipers just cause I can. But I also plan to do some track duty at some point in time. If I ever get this thing finished.

I thought you posted in your Project thread you were going to run a Nissan strut setup? Oh well. Those brakes should work great on a small car like that. Make sure you use a proper sized brake master cylinder and a proportioning valve for the rear brakes to maximize your setup. Have you decided what are you running on the rear?
