Early 80 series brake improvements

Post by g35me »

I have a 91 model 80 series with obviously the small series 1 rotors and calipers. I have just purchsed series 2 (these are 97 model) calipers, rotors and backing plates for front and rear.

Over the next couple of days I am going to attempt the conversion and also the swap to 100 series front pads.

If anyone is interested in me documenting this please let me know pretty soon otherwise I'm just going to go ahead and do it with no pics of the process.

The update happened in August 1992 and that coincides with the release of the 4.5lt FZJ80 petrol cruiser.

easiest way to determine what brakes you have is that factory changeed fron 15 to 16s as standard, if 15s fit ( without any grinding to the calipers) or has 15 inch factory wheels, they are the small brakes. If it has factory 16 inch wheels it has big brakes

talken factory wides, not splitties they were all 16 in

I was given some wrong parts by mistake. Just waiting for them to round up the last bits now. Should be completed by Friday (I hope).
