Dang! Tempting!
In reply to Robbie (Forum Supporter) :
Do it!! This seems like the best way to get into cheap car endurance racing.
For anyone interested, I am familiar with this car. It's no joke, it's a fantastic car!!! I've seen it in Lemons several times.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I can bring the car to Barber on Jan 15/16 if anyone would like a test drive.
In reply to revvhappy :
Can you give more info on the Nissan front brakes? Bolt on? Rotor? Force you to the 17 inch wheels?
Sent you a PM! Let me know if you don't get it.
PM replied to.
The Nissan caliper is a true "bolt on", however, the rotors require a bit of work to fit and add a bit of track width. The OE rotors are "captured" (bolted onto the back of the hub) which required hub removal for replacement. The rotors for the ZX calipers are from a Mazda 4wd minivan and installed in a rotor-over-hub configuration. This requires 2 modifications: 1. The hub outer diameter needs to be milled down a few millimeters to fit inside the rotor hat, and 2. The rotor needs to be re-drilled to a 4-lug pattern ( I have a jig that makes it a 3-minute process with a drill press).
This is a 17" wheel with the setup mounted.
In reply to revvhappy :
Thanks. I did the Cressida big brake mod. I'll keep this in mind.
Make sure to get the 30mm calipers rather than the narrower ones. The MPV rotors are over an inch wide.
In reply to revvhappy :
What year MPV?
Here is the set-up from my notes.
Turn Supra hubs outside diameter down to ~143mm
91-92 Nissan Z32 front calipers. 4-piston. Aluminum for 30mm rotors.
These bolt right on with no modification.
92-96 Mazda MPV 4wd front rotors: Centric 121.45044
Drill rotors for 4x114.3 lug pattern

Thank you for the info and good luck with your sale.
Car is SOLD. Moving to the Nashville area.
Made it home! Very excited!
In reply to accordionfolder :
You have good taste in cars.
In reply to Stampie :
ha, thank you! - revvhappy built a REALLY cool race car. I'm just happy to get to give it a try.
I haven't seen this since it was K swapped. Very cool! Nice score!
Some one should make a Honda swapped racecars thread for this and a couple others on this board
Awesome!
I'm unfortunately not an expert on Hondas, Honda swaps, or Toyota Supra - I'm naturally the next best keeper of this old workhorse :)
I haven't gotten to drive it or poke at it at all with the whole end of the world winter storm and holidays coming on. It'll be at hopefully a few GLTC races this year and maybe some shorter, entry level endurance events.
In reply to accordionfolder :
Nice buy!
In reply to AxeHealey :
Thanks! It's even better in person, the details on it are great - I'm excited to run it this season.
