FYI... It's "Toyota" not "Toyoda". Just making sure you know in case your searches have been coming up empty.

The Toyota 4x4 truck 4-piston calipers won't work on a ZX.

I'd like to confirm the toyota brake swap for the s30's will not work on s130's(280zx's).
There was some misinformation floating around about this swap working on 79-83 z's and I bought a set that didn't fit. The caliper bracket bolt spacing is different.

the bolt spacing is the same, but the treads are in the wrong spot, in the caliper vs in the strut mount. i heard of someone doing a crown vic brake swap tho. looked pretty easy.
