In the context of something like S14/Z32 front calipers and apropiate discs.

Mine are rusty as hell and constantly squeal, despite constant emery-paper clean-ups.

z31 turbo rear discs would be good, they are vented.

Yeah, I fancied the trailing arms for 5-stud but decided I couldn't be bothered, especially now I've got 4-stud rims.

Could the turbo-Z31 discs be redrilled to 4-stud ? And I never found an anwser to wether I would need Z31 Calipers or not (granted I didn't look so hard).

yeas i think they could be drilled to suit and i think the calipers would be different too, as the discs are thicker.

Seemed unlikely S12 calipers would fit. Hope Z31 calipers use the same handbrake mechanisim as I gave Nissan £50 for a handbrake cable only a couple of months ago!
