Does anyone know if there are any differences in calipers on S13 CA18DET, SR20DE and SR20DET? I know SR turbo uses bigger 280mm rotor but are the calipers the same?

Trying to source some for my conversion just wanna make sure I get the right ones.

Will the S13 rotor fit over the 1200 hubs?

I'm a little confused...

In the "Strut Swap" Tech Wiki article is reads...

"The Silvia S13, S14 centre bore is 68mm and the 1200 hub is 70mm at the disk seat".

However in this post..

I used disk brake strut and drum hub.

Basically the rotor doesnt fit over the disk hub but does the drum hub. Disk hub is 52mm wide and drum hub is 47mm wide so thats 5mm less its pushing out track
All the innards of the hubs are identical and use the same wheel bearing so no mods there.


What is the actual size of both the Datsun 1200 Disc and Drum hub and what is the size of the center bore of the S13 rotor?

I thought that might be the case. So the reverse lens are identical shape and fit as the signal lens? Any modifying required?

Thanks mate.

As previously stated I do not know what seat bars and the spring rates.

Planning to re do everything from scratch.

Can anyone tell me if they think my conversion idea would be better with 120y struts and why? Or do you think the standard 1200 strut would be better?

G'day guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get my hands on a pair of clear indicator tail light lenses for a 1200 coupe like this one...I really like the look.

Open in new window




Cheers, Joe

How do you mean alignment? The increased track of the conversion? 10-15mm is good I find as the 1200 seems to tramline badly in road grooves from modern cars and soft tar/ashphlet.

I don't get how it handles badly? It might be simple case of spring and shock upgrade needed. Any pics of current set up?

You running 120y or larger front sway bar?

I like my front now (240z konis and 250lb coil over springs- could use slightly softer at 225lb but they were cheap 2nd hand and new) but need to work on rear. New shocks should help.

Describe what you don't like bout it and we can make suggestions. Your brakes should be good- similar to s13 in performance


The increased track is an issue with wheels rubbing on fenders for a start...I am going to over come that when I bare metal and re-spray because I will have the guards pumped or flares fitted.

I'm not too sure about the swaybar as the suspension was done before I bought it. How can I tell?

I can't explain exactly what I don't like about it...but it just doesn't hook into corners as much as I'd like...The strut inserts and springs aren't as good as they could be and I also think it could pull up better.

I'm planning on stripping and starting again from the ground up so just trying to pick the best combo for my application...and it seems the S13 combo is the favourite...trying to keep with the light theme as I'm keeping the A15. I'm going to be going over the whole thing anyway so might as well go the better option.

Would the 120y struts be better?
