JZX NZ

Hey guys,
i'll admit to being new to toyotas but by no means new to mechanics. I've got a jzx100 as my daily and want to upgrade the brakes. (stops poorly as its quite heavy) Will the 2 pot brakes off the turbo tourer v bolt straight on? what other options are there? I've read that you can use nissan 4pots? and also read you can use supra 4 pots with new offset nuts? what about the rear?
When it comes to suspension, what options do I have? Does stuff from supras and altezzas fit?
What about the diff? cant seem to find any lsds for a good price.
its a grande chaser 1996 auto if that helps.

thanks for any and all advice!!

chaser tourer v brakes should bolt straight on. celsior calipers will fit with offset nuts. dont know about the others..

brake's go like this

tourer v bolt on
jza80 four pots bolt on with offset nuts ( both front four pots and rear two pots )
ufc20 four pots i am not 100% sure on
nissan four pots.....come on man what the hell


if you are on a budget and its your daily driver, go to toyota and get oem brake pads, change fulid to a motul 400 or 600 dot 4 and it will stop alot better than what you already have

suspension
nothing you have stated will work as a whole bolt on
again if your on a budget hunt out some TRD/HKS springs with your oem shocks, massive bang for buck there, trust me on that one

diff
a altezza Gxe10 lsd will slip into your diff head ( have to double check that has they do on the tourer S diffs ) keeping in mind sxe10 diffs are different

Thanks guys great input right there! Anyone else?

So I went ahead and got some jzx100 tourer V front brakes.
Where a little rusty when I got them so I gave them a good scrub up.

Clean vs unclean

Once all cleaned up I gave em a lick of heat proof caliper paint


Installation was simple, a direct replacement, just had to slightly bent back the dust pans.
Heres a picture of the old brakes next to the new ones. 295mm disc next to the old 275mm

And heres them installed.

How were the results? Do you need to change anything else other than caliper/disk?

Slightly better braking, overall I'm pretty happy with them. I towed by S15 down to hamptons and back without the trailer brakes on (opps) and I didn't even realize so thats good enough for me!
Alot does depend on your brake pads though so invest in some good ones!

Should've jumped on Supra 4 pots.
