Well, after reading lots and talking to heaps of people, I'm totally confused!!! The only way to really find out was to give it a go. So, here I go.
My aim is to fit a set of HQ-Z GTS rims to my LC Torana. I've heard it all from WHY!! you cant do it, your crazy and did I say WHY!! Why you ask? Well I want to and I like GTS rims. Brake upgrade wont be a bad thing either. Didn't think it was that hard to understand.Lol....
It's a long story but lots of years ago, I bought a LJ torana to do a front disc brake upgrade to my then front drum brake LC. All sweet and all has been great. While starting this conversion, I have found out that I don't have LJ stuff. Maybe someone can help me here. The calipers are on the front, not the rear.
I pulled the stubs off and sat a HJ stub side by side. This is how they look.
I have a RH stub from what I thought was a LJ on the left, and a HJ RH stub on the right. Maybe UC??
The difference I can see is it will be lower, and a more neg camber which I should be able to correct with removing alignment shims. I have used the steering arms that were there, (LJ/UC??) The tie rods fit from the top, not the bottom as were from standard.
Bolted up and it all looks good. Have to work on caliper clearance and the brake lines.
I will keep you posted. I am working on a few things for the rear. Thought about diff conversion but I am going with axle mod with the standard banjo and HJ rear drum brakes.
Comments and advice welcome. Hope the pics work out. First time with the pic thing.
Thanks
