ellis Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just get some UK spec brakes and save yourself time, hassle and misery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Probably not. However, anything can be made to fit with work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) S14 disc size is 280mm So not sure if it's much of an upgrade or not. edit- "J-spec" are 296mm front, 307mm rear. So as far as disc size is concerned, not an upgrade. Edited March 23, 2013 by Iky (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sl1d3r Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Right disc size is defo not a upgrade but surly 4pots on standard jspec disc would be ??? Would like uk spec but money is very tight due to being made redundant :-( suppose pad size would have to be mesured and over all surface area ??

Dnk Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 If money is tight i would spend it on making sure your j spec brakes are all working as they should be, fit braided lines (£60 approx) and replace all the brake fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Right disc size is defo not a upgrade but surely 4pots on standard jspec disc would be?...Depends on the diameter of the pistons. EDIT: Apparently the Nissan calipers have 40.4mm pistons. "J-spec" Supra calipers have 44.4mm pistons, so the S14 calipers on the same discs would be a downgrade.
