Has anyone ever tried 5.5G calipers or torque members on a 4th gen?
As the title states, has anyone ever tried this? I'm just wondering if the 5.5G (2002-2003) torque member bolts to the 4th gen steering knuckle.
Also, does anyone know if the 5G (00-01) torque member has more room (thickness-wise) than the 4th gen torque member? I just realized while going through FSMs that 5G rotors are thicker than 4G rotors. I never knew that.
Reason I'm asking is because in order to use J30 or 300ZX rotors with a 4th gen, you need to do a bunch of grinding on the torque member, but if 5G or 5.5G torque members have more room in them, and bolt to 4G steering knuckes, it would require much less grinding. The grinding takes quite a while when doing this swap.
This of course presumes that the pads interchange between 5.5G and 4G/350Z (I discovered a couple weeks ago that 4G and 350Z base pads are interchangeable).
