brake calipers

does anyone know if 200sx s14 or skyline gts front 4 pot calipers will fit the pulsar hub under 15" wheels?

done a search and have read the problems people had trying to get the calipers close enough in t take a 280mm disc. i have had an idea of how to get them closer though. isntead of trying to mount the caliper centrely to the existing holes, offset the caliper to 1 caliper bolt hole is on the middle of the 2 hub bolt holes, then you can bring the caliper further in. thats my theory anyway.

Have a go, and if it works we'll call it the "Williams s14 calliper mod"!

idea is, to not have the bolt holes like this

I think understand what you are suggesting, staggered bolt holes?! This way you can pull them closer into the hub by staggering them into the gaps.

I looked at doing this, but decided to go for 305mm discs under 16's. They fit and work great! It was fabricated by an independent guy called Billy, top-notch work and I have managed to pretty-much brake-even with a Caterham at Castle Coombe. Put it this way, he couldn't get round until we came off track and his parking space was further than mine! LOL

are 300zx calipers the same as the s14 calipers?
