z20/A70 hub comparison & 1jz engine bracket question

[pandaah]

hey guys, just wondering if the Z20 and JZA70 hubs, upper and lower control arms are the same...

im doing a 1jz conversion and i wanna get a big brake kit for a JZA70 and fit it on my car, what im wondering is if the A70 hubs and stub axle are the same as the Z20 so all i need is the crossmember and not the hubs and everything..

also, my 1jz at work has LF-Z and RR-Z on the engine brackets..

arent they sposed to be LR-Z and RR-Z?? i thought the R and F was for sump location?

[ecko]

yes hubs etc are the same except gz20,ga70 which have smaller brakes etc

[pandaah]

yeh shit mine is a GZ, god dammit more money lol

you know i wanted to... i just dont have the space at the time..

To double check if you have big brakes Toyota Used the same size dust shield from small and big brakes to theck if you have the bigger brakes the disk will be right up to the edge of the dust shield and small brakes if I recall you will be able to see at least 1cm of dust shield!

those brackets are from a Z30 soarer, hence the -Z (-A for A70 and -X X81 etc etc etc)

AFAIK the F and R isn't sump position it's the bracket position on the block (though I may be mistaken on this)

fairly sure you'll want/need the JZA70 brackets to make it an easy fit into the Z20, the Z30 brackets probably won't line up with the cross member correctly

god dammit your right they are different... just checked on the parts break down... uhh

100% that z30 brackets wont fit your will need to obtain them from a JZA70 pm shane on supraforums hey may have what you need http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/...-JZA70-Racecar

absolutely fuckall from a Z30 susp and brake setup will fit a Z20.
been there , tried that myself...didnt work.
All A70 and Z20 hubs are the same, no matter if it was a GA, MA , or JZA, the hubs are F/R are exactly the same.
front brakes , to fit the 302mm rotors all you need is the caliper mounting brakets and disc rotors for this conversion.
calipers are the same, only the mounting brackets change.
rears are all same same.
all suspension components from any model A70 and Z20 are interchangeable
hope this helps you.

certainly does, have chased the crossmember and brackets from an A70.. thanks for all your help guys really helped me get the right bits for my conversion!
