I've been researching the 300zx brake swap, and while I already have a set of used calipers I was looking into rebuilding them. I was searching part number 41120-30P25 in google and I found this:

Dorman D352024

Dorman lists this rebuild kit for not only the 89-96 300zx, but also for 93-95 Supra and 96-98 Supra TT...

Out of curiosity I googled the supra TT calipers and found this:Front:

Rear:

I got those images from here

Anyone have a set of Supra TT calipers they'd be willing to test fit on their 240?

Edit:

I'm still doing more research:

Cardone PN 191893 is a 96 twin turbo caliper shown here:

Cardone PN 191674 is a 93 300zx NA caliper shown here:

Kinda looks like the mounting bracket is the same, but the line is different... and the centerline of the supra pistons looks to be pushed out more, requiring a larger diameter rotor. Can't tell from pics though, need some measurements lol

it probably use the same pistons and seals but the mounting point, pads, clearance etc is not the same

it will be a good find though if theyre the same. btw the z32 brakes (n/a or turbo) are probably cheaper since they produce more than the TT supras

True true... they look a bit bigger though... so while they may be more rare, they may offer a larger "OEM" solution... I dunno. If I had a set handy I'd test the fit. *shrug*

Edit: by larger I mean they'd fit a little further outward from the center of the hub, making the rotor diameter larger
