i want to upgrade my old brakes to a V6 caliper, rotor and master cylinder. i was going to use an '89 V6 caliper and master cylinder from a 4runner. But i wasnt sure what rotors i needed to use. ive read that you can just bolt on 86-95 rotors, but i also read you need Fj60 rotors. So which ones do i need. Thanks a lot

 

Depends on what rotors you have now. Do you have the ones that just bolt to the hub or the ones that bolt to the hub and the wheel studs pass through both?

 

you can also use the brake booster from a 4runner turbo (its dual diaphragm) for some extra stopping power. the dual piston design is actually pretty efficient.

yeah .. boosters are a bit of an issue for the "big brakes" .. as Al mentioned the turbo boosters are a direct bolt on .. but they are very difficult to find .. if you find one , BUY A LOTTERY TICKET !!

on my build (current build in my sig , just click on it) I used the 89-95 v6 calipers , with FJ80 vented rotors .. I also used a /99 Duel diaphram booster .. but there are some mods needed to make this work .. you can see it all on the build ...

yah my dad works at an autoparts store so i get everything at price, but i'm not exactly sure if my rotors, but i have an '81 if that helps.

 

I know personally that my 81 has the two bolt, all stud type rotors. And if I remember correctly it was only 79 and 80 that used the rotors that only bolted to the hub.

As far as answering your question, I don't remember what year land cruiser rotors go with what type that you have now, but if you look through the FAQ2.0 on pirate I know I have seen it in there before.

 

on pirate it says fj60 rotors, so then i would need to get new wheel studs pressed in?

 

HUH? ... your talkin giberish !!

sorry, i'm just tryin to figure out if the fj60 rotors are what i need in the front.

 

80 FJ80 vented rotors
83 toyota hubs (2 bolt style) so I dont have to use extended lug bolts
95 V6 Calipers with stock OE brake pads

ok. i saw your build thread, and for the FJ rotors i need the Fj80 ones, just for verification.

 

YES fj80 rotors ...
and just for referance ....... pics
