Ive been looking at installing the brakes off the front of a 3000gt onto my TH magna does anyone know of someone who has tried this coversion and what are the problems with it. All the brake joints that i have talked to dont know anything about this conversion and say bit the bullet and see if they fit.

do you race the car?

thats an expencive mod!

I can get the caipers and rotors for $350 for a jap importer. i will be doing track days in it.

Someone tried this before and I'm pretty sure they found it wasn't a bolt on change, and was going to be a bit of a hassle.

If you can find Evo brakes, though, they'll bolt straight up by all accounts.

What model evo.

Im thinking i might just buy a pair the rotors will fit just the calipers im worried about not bolting straight up, might have to make up a braket for it to bolt up.

What model evo.
6 and later. Not sure about the earlier ones.

Yeah just gotta be carefull......... you might find yourself up for new wheels depending on the design / size of your current rolling stock - those brembo's are HUGE.

yeah that idiot would be me :cry: . i tried to do the mod on my old TS. Everything would have bolted straight up except the offset of the rim is totally different.

what details do you want?? the brakes are still sitting in my garage btw

yeah, it would of taken at least a 25mm spacer to make my rims fit. i then went to a panel beater to see what it would take to pump my guards out 25 to suit-was like 3,500 so i passed. at the time i was thinking of TTing my TS so 10G was gonna get pumped into it

Ive only got 15's on at the moment but geting 18's so would i be adle to get a different offset on the mags and not have to pump the gaurds maybe just roll them.
