s14 4 Runner brake swap S14

Before you jump on me, I've spent the last hour or so on both google and Zilvia searching for an answer. So I may suck at searching, but I did try. Anyways, I have a 95 S14 and have been wanting to upgrade the brakes for a while. Obviously a S chassis owner would flock to the Z32 conversion, however the price of Z32 brakes has seemed to inflate due to popularity. While I know anything is possible, I was wondering if anyone had ever heard/done a 93/95/97/98 4 Runner brake swap onto an s13/s14. Through my searching I found that that's a common swap for 240z's. Now I read that a 4 Runner caliper will bolt to a stock S30 hub. Any brainstorming/information is appreciated. Thanks

4runner brakes suck and are known for warping quick.

Haha well I guess that sums it up. I was just hoping to get away with paying 26 dollars for calipers from pull-a-part.

why not just run q45 or j30 front brake set up since youd like to grab a set of brakes from a pick n pull. theres countless of thoze overhere at pickurparts untouched.


then again idk how the pick n pulls are in alabama. GL

you could also grab z32 "without drift tax" remanned calipers from an autozone n such just return some "z32" cough..... calipers as the core charge.

Haha you hit the nail on the head. There are few pull-a-parts, and even fewer Q45s, J30s, and Z32s. And all of those have been pilfered through by fellow S Chassis guys. And honestly, this may sound vein, but one reason I really want the upgrade (still second to function) is how meaty and flashy that mono block caliper looks. But I'm going this weekend. The location does have a J30 in stock. I'm going to do some research. If I can pick up rotors & calipers for under 50 and not need lines/etc then I may go for it. Otherwise I'll wait for the Z32.

Q45 and be done if you don't want to deal with finding Z32s that are not way overpriced.
