[benozi]

Has anyone done the rear gto 2 pot caliper conversion to a gsr? any info would be good thanks

i know the fto rear bolts straight onto fwd lancers not sure how different gto rears are to gsr though

^ Which basically is no help whatsoever, to the OP's original question??

Beno...Im almost certain that you will need a similar bracket to the one that you and I have got for the fronts....to get them to fit. Have you measured the bolt spacing on new Rear GTO calipers, to confirm this? Or change the hubs to gto ones as well which then stuffs you up with your new 17s :blink:
Then you have the handbrake issue to deal with...

Check this out....

This bloke has done it but he used the 5 stud hubs from GTO by the looks

^ Still an interesting read but....... he has gone all out :blink: :lol:

there is a kiwi bloke who did this conversion to a vr4, he used the complete gto rear trailing arms and hubs to get the handbrake mechanism. it's a lot of work for a rear brake upgrade. i have heard there are some nissans that have a handbrake setup similar to ours which may make life a little easier for you

Sounds like a bit of hassle . i havent got the calipers yet there still being posted. so i'll have to have a look when they come. I was hoping to use a hydralic handbrake which hopefully may make it easier.
thanks for the info anyway
