    Hi forum, just need a little more info to which i cant find using the usual routes.

    Looking to put z32 calipers on our 240k rally car.

    Ive started the process of converting the front struts over to a coilover setup, with diy camber tops. And where im uncertain as to which way to go is the caliper.

    Common setup is a Verada Disc modified to fit the 240k hub and a hilux 4 pot caliper. Trying to source 4 pot hilux calipers are twice as hard as it is sourcing the z32 calipers via here. So thats my first option.

    The verada discs are 24mm new. NA Z ones are 26 with a min of 24. First up, how much of a problem would people see this being. Surely the 2mm would be taken up by the caliper pistons.

    Also the verada discs are 275 od where as na z discs are 280. No real big issue.

    What i need to know about the z calipers is the mounting bolt spacing. Is it 3.5 inches? Also what is the offset. The distance from the caliper mounting ears to the center of the caliper where the disc sits. This is to help me work out whether i need dog bones to make them fit and if the disc will need to be spaced to suit the center of the caliper.

    If all that makes sense.

    So if anyone can please answer them few Q's that would be great. Ill keep searching but in the mean time.

    If all goes to plan i will need some NA calipers. So let me know.

    Cheers.
