?
mytmk3 posted on this on the other forums. His hubs are not stock. The previous owner of the hubs built the hubs with mk4 caliper mounting points instead of mk3. Apparently where they live any car mods need to look factory to avoid a fine when inspected.
It looks as simple as a custom bracket and some 350z track rotors..

The night pager sucks. Its hella janky and the pad over hangs from the edge of the rotor a little.
The only BOLT ON solutions you have without some custom fab or modification are the AZP wilwoods or the Doward Mustang brakes.
Both are 13" brakes
Wilwood is a 4 piston caliper- Mustang is a 2 piston caliper
Both include all hardware and bracketry
Mustang costs about half what the Wilwoods cost
So those are your bolt on options. Obviously price is proportionate to how many pistons you want. The Wilwoods are amazing, i have them on my MKIII, very good fitment, excellently engineered by Andy.
The Mustang brakes are also an awesome "bang for buck" upgrade. 13" brakes for about $700 out the door? Great. Of course you only get 2 piston calipers instead of 4 pistons, so the braking isnt as tight as the Wilwoods but its still a HUGE improvement over stock and costs half as much.
So take the differences into account and figure out what works best for you. Doward's mustang brake GB is over but I still have several brackets if you decide to go that way

Ok ,thank you guys.
I've look Night pager, and read some web-sites. So I think I can work with Mk3 hubs and install Mk4 brakes on front.

Was away on holidays sorry just got back today but link has been posted of what I would have said anyway
Well,
I try to install Mk4 brakes on my Supra Mk3. Now I had finished some machine work, and now I produce an adaptors. I think it possible to install without welding.
Here some pictures
Finaly it will looks so:
Adaptor will be here for 4 screws

Well yeah we all told you you would need an adapter. For the cost of the MKIV calipers themselves (they arent so cheap) and all the other parts to make it work, you should've just gotten the Wilwoods, lol

Mk4 calipers cost $220 each.
I think wilwood is not good for me because it hasn't seals

Mk4 Calipers are heavy as Lead (One Half is Cast Iron), I wouldn't use them if there were any other option available, I used Mk4 Rotors F/R with AP 4 Piston calipers on my own brackets.
i may be in the minority but i'm interested iin a set of adapters if you do make them
mind you, i'd run 2LS400 calipers (~8.2mm difference in diameter) which are 2pc aluminum and a TON lighter than the TT calipers. they use the same bolt-pattern as the TT.
what rotor did you end up using?
given shipping costs, i'd prolly just want to buy some autocad or solidworks drawings from you to have them made locally.

Look here please, and think about Braking performance Mk4 brakes

I use Power Slot rotors. I'll show you my adaptors when I finish.

It weight is 13.5 lb, it is not light weight I know.

Man, let come to Russia and you will see need this brakes in dust boots or not

Can read my post starting on this page: http://www.supramania.com/forums/sh...-Wilwood-13-inch-4-piston-front-brakes/page24 and see the conversation. Dust boots aren't needed. Hell, you don't see dust boots on the hydraulic cylinders used on construction equipment...

Man, you have never been in Russia. It is Very dirty, cold and wet. I now some cars, who have problems with wilwood in our country.

I use Supra Mk4 320mm front rotors on my Supra Mk3
