What power are you running that you need Supra brakes? :-k

I think rev 2 fit on, but what ever you do for the front you must do for the back. Otherwise it makes no sense and your braking will be all messed up.

Rev2+ brakes are an upgrade :thumleft:

300zx Z32, Skyline R32 calipers I've read somewhere fit with supra discs but you need brackets made up.

Limiting factor for non standard setups will be the size of your wheels.

Some brackets sold here

Swapping out the rev1 units for the larger items from the rev2 & onwards cars is a very noticeable improvement. Add some braided lines whilst you're about it and you'll be set. Just ensure you have a min of 15" wheels to fit over them… and remember to change the spacesaver from the 14" standard as well!

Not sure but TCB sells recon calipers as well as new discs etc… maybe he'll take the rev1s in exchange for rev2s but check with Trevor first.

Great mod for any rev1.
