Hey peeps I'm still unting these damn brackets!
A mate suggested getting the s12 brackets machined to accept the wider Z31 vented discs. Can anyone se why this wouldn't work ?

quick blag; got the brake hardware and I got a z31 beam off ebay. save for a couple of bent brackets it looks in good shape and even came with handbrake cables attached (no doubt they're borked).
I'll start a proper project thread but I'm skint after buying that porker.

I'm a bit confused with this thread. This is what I have 'seen' with Z31's.
MkI 84 to late 86 - non ventilated disc on rear 290mm dia. same calipers as s12 with the exception of mounting 'ears' which are longer to accomodate 290mm dia. rotor. (NB non turbo = 4 stud till 85, all others 5 stud) MkII early 87 to 88 ventilated rear rotors,(both turbo and non turbo are all 5 stud) can't remember exact diameter, 282mm from memory. Calipers match rotors with wider opening to suit, (not interchangeable with earlier calipers). The trailing arms have a 10mm longer "bearing tube", to push the hubs out 10mm to suit the extra 10mm of rotor width. (I have a set of these later trailing arms complete and have compared it physically and measured the differences with earlier type Z31 setup) So in closing if you want the ventilated setup you need the whole trailing arm with rotors and calipers and swap it onto your s12.

So does this mean you can use a whole rear end setup from a Z31 turbo (they have an LSD as standard) to get the vented brake upgrade and also and LSD.
Also if the LSD is bolt in can you just use the LSD and shafts from a Z31 turbo with the S12 subframe and hubs??? ![]() |

I think the driveshafts would be different. Better to get the whole Z31 rear set-up but I'd expect the LSD to be fairly tired after 20-odd years.

i've got hold of a z31 turbo rear subframe and trailing arms, only thing that ive noticed is that where the shafts mount to the back of the hub they are 4 bolt instead of the s12 6 bolt set up, are the shafts the same spline set up as the s12 ones ?if so i could just change the ends.

I hope this fella is wrong as I just dropped £100+ getting my spare z31 x-member prepaired ![]() Not really sure what he means by "it has arc that hits the body" ?

So I'm a bit lost right now. Can someone confirm a stock UK Turbo comes with the R200 diff ?
