i bought a rear blah blah its from a 85 gsl i need to buy calipers pads rotors long story short im low on money cant afford that now but ebay has the se- axles,, se rear brake calipers,rotors, and maybe pads.......its only $20 now...........ok if i bought all that stuff would it work on my gsl rear end if i swaped out the axles and everything..................


also would this conflict with my steel bradied lines i have since im switching from a gsl caliper to se caliper or are the lines still the same???????

 

Only problem you are going to have is mounting your wheels. tThe se is a 4x115mm bolt patteern versus your gsl 4X110mm. Be ok if you are going to swap the front end and buy rims.

 

well for the time being i would use my friends spare rims off his 240.........and keep my frount and get adapters which will make my whole car 4x114 all the way around.........


this would work though???????? using the axles and stuff in my gsl housing because this would be nice.........

 

Yes it would. make sure you check the fit of the wheels off the 240 for offset though.

 

if not i can get some junk yard wheels for temp use

 

How about a couple of temporary spares so you can burn them down to nothing and film a video for us

 

Instead of spending all that money on "junk yard wheels, spacers, axles, etc, etc, etc," why not just buy the brakes you need and spend the same amount of money.

 

it would cost more money because brakes alone rebuilt will be $180, pads $50 rotors $80 thats just gussng prices right there but then the once son ebay are $20 for each auction i gusse finnly price of $50 and then i need to buy brake pads and im ready to go...........how does it cost more or same???

 

?!? $50 for pads? They better be made outta solid gold or are race only pads or something...

I've never spent more than $30 on street vehicle pads.

Rotors also look expensive...

Why the hell are you shopping for stuff like that on eBay? Goto Advance Auto Parts or something.

I wouldn't trust Joe Schmoe's brake parts on eBay to save my life (Which they will have to do frequently.)

 

Advance Auto Parts pricing for GSL rear disc brake items (6/17/05):
Brake Calipers $81.28 ea. (Core return $25 credit / ea.) (x 2)
Bendix Pads Rear Set $22.96 (x 1)
Brake Rotors $61.88 ea. (no core return) (x 2)

Add another $15.94 for that pretty caliper paint to make your new brake efforts look good.

 

thats like300 right there that you just said................all i want to know is if the se stuff will work on my gsl rear end along with the gsl diff and SS brake lines???????

 

I don't think the se axels will fit the diff I think you need the se third member to. Hey check out www.mazspeed.com they have a nice write up on axel interchange info in the facts section.

 

I was told that the SE equipment will fit into the houseing/pumpkin of a GSL as long as its an 84-85.

I've asked that question, heres the thread https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/about-rear-axle-433912/

 

Rusty. As stated before everything will interchange with no problem. For all you guessers
out there. The axles are the same for 84-85 just the bolt pattern is different. the bearings and seals are the same, the brake hoses are the same. Now stop bothering Rusty and let him continue with his swap. Rusty like i stated earlier lated yuou can get a se front suspension and upgrade. Happy wrenching.
