Current revision

The stock rear brakes are fairly good, using large (for such a light car) 8" x 1.75 brake shoes. Make sure the brakes are clean and adjusted correctly every 3 months. Using a performance pad will improve it. But for coolness sake... read on.

Overview

There are two main steps to adding disc brakes to a rear axle:

1. Fitting the brake rotor to the axles
2. Fitting a caliper bracket to the axle housing

Example: Bracket for Nissan S30 rear for R32 calipers
(similar to Nissan 44155-N3202 but made out of aluminum)
Album 11230

R31 Australia

You can fit the Australian-built R31 Pintara/Skyline disc brakes onto H145/H150 or H165 axle assemblies.

R32

* Turbo: all years use 927 part

Z32 300ZX

H145

Pitroad Kit

Pitroad rear disc adapters for B110

• Uses late model S130 (280ZX) caliper and rotor (I think it says it uses Skyline HR30 adapters)

44155-N3202 machined with:
* 4 new holes for the H145 pattern
* an insert for the smaller diameter axle tube interface

Andy: The Pitroad rear disk brake kit only includes the brackets, E-brake cables, axle sleeve thingys, clips, rubber brake hoses, and axle bolts. You supply the calipers, pads, and rotors from an 82-83 280ZX, as well as new oil seals for the axles, wheel bearings, etc. It's pretty straight forward, you have to pull off the old drum brake assemblies and put on their new bracket just before you put the new wheel bearings in. You do have to drill two really small holes on the E brake cable holder, but other than that it's really easy.

In general, 1982 280ZX and 300ZX has a smaller rear caliper with larger pads than the early (1979-1981) 280ZX. The offset of the early vs. late caliper is quite different.

AE86

To fit AE86 calipers on B110 rear axle housing, create an adapter.

Sentra Rotor Adaption

3rotor designed bracket for box-shape Sentra (Nissan Sunny B12) calipers, to fit 240mm rotor. The same bracket can also fit Maxima 250mm rotor.

The rotors slip over the hub (floating type). The pattern must be re-drilled to 4 x 4.5" (4 x 114.3 mm) before it will slip on. Center hole also needs enlarging.

Rear Axle Swaps

See Rear Axle Swaps

These include rear disc brakes:

• Complete rear end from a Mazda RX7 GSL-SE
• Complete rear end from a 1980 to 1981 S110 (Silvia, 200SX) H165
• Complete rear end from a 1982 to 1983 S110 H190

200SX either narrow the housing or use fender flares.

Toyoda...cheaper LSD from TRD.
