Cap'n 2JZ's 1985 Toyota Supra Build Thread
The Silver Bullet


So this thread is going to be the progression of the build on my supra. My suspension, brakes and the motor which I have recently picked up, an Aristo JDM 2JZGTE will be updated in here. I have a motor swap thread in the 2JZ section too (link below). I'm here to reference and be referenced Warning: cell phone pictures do enter this thread, sometimes its all I have haha.

KYB AGX. Applications:

FRONT: Uses the REAR SW20 MR2 Strut insert. I modified my strut tubes, shortening them to accommodate the SW20 inserts and I also welded spring perch collars.

Cusco MA61 Camber Plates





SUPERPRO Polyurethane Bushings


- Bushings for front tension bars, because the first set of Energys got destroyed by a shitty alignment shop.
- Bushings to replace lower focus bushings for Superpro MA61 bushings so the mounting is correct.

Brakes



Nissan Parts for the most all modified to fit the Supra. A big thanks to Raj, a lot of the information I used came right out of his thread, thanks man.

FRONT Brakes



FRONT ROTORS

2008 Nissan 350Z Track discs.
- 330mm diameter 5 bolt disc.
- Slotted
- Drilled
- **(1)Re-drilled lug pattern to 4x114.3
- **(2)Centering ring made to float the disc on the front face of the MKII hub.
- **(3)Machine front MKII Hub hats to fit inside diameter of disc.




Re-drill to 4x114.3 and have a center ring made.





Machine down hub hat diameter so the disc slides over snugly.

CALIPERS


Z32 (1989-2000) front calipers from a 300zx.

- Aluminum
- 4 piston
- Bolt straight up to MK2 front struts in stock caliper location. (no modification)
- **(4) I purchased these calipers with spacers already made to adapt them to a 330mm diameter disc.




Stainless Braided Lines

These lines are not long enough for a BBK, I used these for the stock brakes. I might be able to combine the front ones into the rear if the rear line isnt long enough as well, and I'll see if I can pick up a pair of long lines somewhere on the net.




Comparison (260mm-330mm)







Info:


The front MKII disc set up consists of a disc bolted to the back of the hub. For the 330 MM z32 swap you must machine pieces to place the disc in front of the hub. To "float it". Float because it is not attached to the hub. Once the wheel is bolted, it will secure it in place.

To do this swap using the stock MKII hub you must follow these steps.

- Have disc re-drilled to 4x114.3 to fit Supra hub bolt pattern.
- **(2) You must have a centering ring made to ensure the discs are hub centric. Not lug centric, if you just bolt them with no centering ring you run the risk of having vibrations from the discs. The reason you do this is because the 350Z discs inner hub diameter is larger than the MKII disc, you must fill this space to make the disc hub centric. Just like you would buy little plastic spacers to make your wheels hub centric. Same principal.

- If you wish to go with a 330mm disc you must have a custom bracket machined to raise the caliper height to fit over the disc. RWDcelicadude spoke at one time of having them made, I do not know if he is still committed to this. I purchased my pieces from him and they are of very good quality. If not you may use a mazda MPV disc which is discussed in Rajs "brake conversion" thread.




Next up on the list for the brakes:

- Z32 Nissan 300zx rear calipers to finish up the rear, and Brembo blank discs 296mm.

REAR Brakes



Rear Rotors

The REAR is the same procedure, and that is a work in progress for me, I just picked these up. (June 25th 2011)

The idea:

Z32 Nissan 300ZX rotors: 296mm and you can continue to use your stock hand brake.

Z32 Nissan 300ZX REAR calipers with an adapter bracket to fit them to the car at the right height and orientation.










Z32 Rear brake swap

Still missing the calipers at the moment.
