Yes gts-t 4 pot front calipers can be fitted to an ae86 but you will need to use the larger master cylinder from the gts-t or other vehicle. I personally think the skyline brakes are a bit of an overkill but if you really want to do it, it can be done.

Why not settle for metal king pads?? I'm running them in my ae86, they are really good when warm (doesn't take much to heat them up) and pull the car up quite alot faster than with std brakes

Phil, did you go to the 5-stud to get better access to larger rims, or to change the offset to accommodate the bigger discs. the reason i ask , i that I had a fleeting glance at fitting 4-pot Skyline calipers to the TA63 strut , but had serious clearance issues,and was wondering if it would be easily overcome with a more FWD offset?

are the AE101 calipers side-by-side 2-pots or opposing 2-pots?
