Revision as of 05:56, 3 April 2013

S13 (1989-1993 Silvia, 180SX, 200SX) brakes can be modified for use on Datsun 1200 struts. They are large-diamter vented discs, so good for street and track use both.

Overview

The reason to use S13 instead of S14 is that S13 is four-stud rotors. S14 has some five-bolt rotors on the turbo models, and the brakes are not any bigger.

KB110 Brakes:
* tiny single-pot twin-piston caliper
* tiny non-ventilated disc

S13 Brakes:
* large single-pot caliper 
* large ventilated disc

S13 came 4-bolt with various rotor sizes:

FRONT
250mm diameter Front 
251mm diameter Front USA Non-ABS
257mm diameter Front EUROPE late + USA ABS
280mm diameter 1991-1992 Turbo

REAR 
258mm diameter Rear

Rim Size

14" wheels fit the 250mm brakes. The 280mm brakes use 15" wheels.

Certain 13" rims will fit 250mm brakes, but most will not.

Machining

S13 250mm rotor & caliper on 1200 disc brake struts requires some machining. But it gains ventilated rotors suitable for racing applications.

Machine hub registration diameter of rotor from 68 mm to 70 mm
Machine outer diameter of hub down to clear the inside of rotor
Buy or fabricate caliper adapter bracket

1200 Drum Hubs

You can also use early 1200 (B110) drum hubs which require no machining. The downside is the have a 5mm difference in offset, so either use custom brackets or a 5mm spacer.

Longer Wheel Studs

Since the S13 rotor floats over the 1200 hub, it will require longer wheel studs. Swap the S13 studs to the 1200 hubs, or swap in any compatible Wheel Studs.

Caliper Adapter Bracket

The calipers for 250mm & 280mm rotor use the same bolt spacing (reportedly 100mm or 103mm), so either caliper will work with an appropriate bracket adapter (obviously the spacing will need to vary). The hubs and spindles are the same regardless of brake size. The caliper bracket is much taller on the 280mm brakes -- and wider too to accomodate the wider brake pads.

S13 Brakes on 120Y Disc-brake Struts

NOTE: 120Y is A12-powered B210. It uses different struts than A14-powered B210.

The Silvia S13, S14 centre bore is 68mm and the 1200 hub is 70mm at the disk seat. But the Silvia disk has a huge backspacing compared to the 1200 disk. Perhaps 2mm need to be machined off? custom adaptor plates for the caliper are also needed.

You need an adaptor plate for the the calipers.

You may need to swap the struts right-to-left and left-to-right to clear the steering arms. Also, mount the calipers INBOARD for better weight distribution.

'78 120y struts discs and calipers cos they're an aussie assembled PBR product. i aslo swapped the struts left to right to clear the steering arms once i put silvia rotors and calipers in place. low1000

Optional: use Hilux 4-pot calipers, which only involve the elongation of one bolt hole with a round file and then bolt straight up over 180SX discs. These are similar to MK63 calipers but are cast iron instead of alloy.

Wise words from Bundy351: I am running 120y struts in my 1200 ute. On these struts I have a Kev Rowley Brake adaptor plate (about $100 for the pair) Rotors, calipers, calliper bolts (2 per caliper) and wheel studs from a 1989 nissan silvia. You also need the flexi brake hose (mine came off a 1995 corolla cause thats all I could find). Very simple conversion.

MACHINE THE OUTER DIAMETER OF THE HUBS DOWN SO THE ROTOR WILL SLIDE OVER IT (150mm FROM MEMORY BUT I HAVE HAD ALLOT OF RUM SINCE I DID CONVERSION) PREFERABLY USE A LATHE BUT YOU CAN USE A GRINDER.
