FC Front Brake Upgrade

Got pics mate?

Craig,

I would be interested in your progress on using the rx7 s4 rears as I have a set at home and have been considering trying to mate them to a T series diff I have. Before anyone jumps on me, it's a JDM diff so I can't use the corona set up without some modification, and I figure if I'm going to modify, then I might as well use what I have already.

A quick question for you. Do the rear brakes use an internal drum for the handbrake, and regardless, how effective is the handbrake on them?

Regards,
Chris.

Not sure, I haven't even looked at a pair of rear calipers. Couldn't even tell you if they were single twin or more piston. I was just going to use them because then my braking sysetm would be equal if i use the same size master and bias as the s4.

Handbrake i was just going to use a hydrualic one for drifting use. So that part didn't bother me.

Easiest way to tell about the handbrake would be if it has anything on the caliper that looks like a lever or something.

before i install to my car





using mesh wheels now, cant see thru the caliper now

[ghetto ke]

hahaboy are you running a FC disk over AE86 hub with bolt on spacer to clear calipers with Mesh wheels?
What size and offset wheels are you running?

[Chrisso]

Craig. I'll pull out the rears I have at home and have a look at them and go from there. I will eventually put in a hydraulic system but require a cable jobbie to keep the thing legal. Thanks mate.

Chris.

This might be a stupid question, but I have a S13 master cylinder here with 3 holes on it instead of two like my ke70 one has.. Am I able to use it or do I need one only with two?

What else is invloved in fitting ?

[RussianMafia000]

really? I had another thread in the tech section and it said I could but only non abs models.
I had a look through the FAQ but couldn't find the info I was after.

What other easy options do people use? I've got large hilux rear drums and will have SR20 brakes on the front.

Ahh eyh I'm looking for something a bit cheaper if possible, this s13 one cost $75 but I don't think its going to work without a bit of modification to the lines.
Anyone used a landcruiser one?

[RussianMafia000]

Can you tell me what year model roughly it's from? Non-abs?
And did you need to use a bypass valve for the rear brakes?
