tux Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Just dropping this here : https://www.eci-turbo.com/parts.html "FC3S / FD3S early caliper diversion Stallion 5 hole car only For A183A (GSR-V only), A184A/A187A Stallion 5-hole hub and disc are required when installing to A183A (4-hole wheel) and A175A (with I/C)." In the past I came across an adapter bracket for what I thought was a bracket for a Nissan 300zx caliper, but after ordered I found it to be for a Skyline caliper (which are too expensive to bother using in the US). RX7 calipers may be easier to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsolete Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Nice find! There's some good stuff there. Looks like those calipers go for about $300/pair and the brackets are about $250, pretty reasonable. Seems like there's a good chance they'd fit under stock wheels, too. Now, would somebody make a rear caliper adapter bracket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted November 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 Ya it's pretty reasonable. I've already ordered a BBK from Revolution for the front and am considering the rears, but prior to that I bought the what I found out to be Skyline adapter and 3kgt VR-4 calipers.. So maybe someone else can use this ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Good Find! I've been wanting big brakes for years, at least in the front I think would make a big difference on the autocross course. That revolution kit is pricey, but if it is actually plug and play then it's worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted November 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 The revolution kit should be the same as Oscars, from what I've heard. Wilwood apparently is having issues getting calipers out. I'm on month 2 of waiting for the kit after purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Why not use CTS-V brake calipers instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Oscars kit was the go to years back ... when I was broke. Once I finally get body and paint done on the starion this will be top of the list. Makes me a little crazy that a car with no mechanical or running issues has been down almost 2.5 years now for "a paint job" ... that turned into a resto. Next project is LS into the Valencia. Big brakes are definitely going to be needed there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Cary Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 No but they're larger Brembo calipers and more readily available than Wilwoods. They can be found on rock auto for about 200 each. 6 pot calipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tux Posted November 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Ah, the problem is i don't have the equipment, time, or skillset to manufacture brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTQuest Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 On the revolution site there are two different sizes for the from 302mm and 330mm. Is this actually front and rear and just a typo? Also, I cannot find the write up on the 300zx brake bracket how to anywhere. Any one have that link?

tux Posted December 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 302 is for factory rims, 330mm is for larger rims. you gotta call revolution for the rear kit. I haven't seen any full write-up for the 300zx brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTQuest Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Thanks Tux. I found the right up finally. The search engine on here is terrible BTW lol. Here is the link for the BBK this guy made. I wish I had the time and the tooling to be able to fab up a bracket as nice as his. http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117699&view=&hl=crown vic&fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I did, I'd cancel my order w/ revolution, as I'm waiting since sept 1 for tracking info and ever time I call there's some different reason why they haven't shipped, but will this week, maybe.

tux Posted January 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Initially Revolution told me my kit was ready except waiting on calipers from Wilwood. After some months he said calipers came in but couldn't find my rotors. As of mid december rotors were at machine shop. Last few calls when asking for my kit to be shipped he said he was still waiting on calipers and rotors are at machine shop Most recently when I called and he answered, I challenged the bluff on the calipers and he said maybe he sent my calipers out with someone else's kit by mistake. Now my calls go unanswered and I've filed a dispute with paypal. Definitely not a great company to deal with. I may try to figure out how make use of my VR4 calipers or try my luck w/ these japanese rx7 caliper adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
