Don't waste your time with a VT upgrade. Buy this http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...ht=RX7+upgrade (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=102759&highlight=RX7+upgrade)

why would it be a waste of time? vt brakes are heaps better then the standard vl ones, as long as he upgrades the master cylinder aswell then vt will be sweet as.

I got mine shipped up from a mob in melbourne called "Hoppers Stoppers" at http://www.hoppers.com.au I don't see why they wouldn't be able to just ship the adaptor plate if thats all you are missing.

Race Brakes Sydney (lazyass) can supply VT discs, conversion hubs and even VT calipers or I can sell you a bracket kit to bolt on Nissan 4 spot calipers over the VT discs/hubs.
