I just have the info I got from www.wilwood.com . You can browse their catalogue with a lot of info inside.
Radial calipers have to be mounted with brackets. Wilwood has standard brackets with 2 types of mounting holes, 3.50 for the Datsun struts. The non radial can be bolted directly to the Datsun strut. 2 things I haven't fixed yet:
1)Offset problem. You know, finding the right height of the disc so that it will be centered inside the caliper. Of course you can work with shims behind the caliper mounts, or work with discs that uses mounting hats, but there aren't so many hats that suits our bolt pattern and center bore.
2) Diameter of the disc with direct bolt on. Wilwood say, if you want 11.75 disc, the OE mounting holes have to be 3.49 away from the disc/wheel centerline. I suppose they mean the stud.

That's all I can say for now

Also stanza struts allow the 270mm 240Z brake upgrade with sumitomo calipers.

Why is the 270mm upgrade only posible whit Stanza struts. Isn't it possible to do a brake upgrade using the OE B110 strut?
Wilwood have calipers for direct bolt on the strut, mount center as 3.50 just as the OE strut. They also have caliper mounting brackets for radial caliper allowing bigger rotors. Or why not make a bracket by its own that suits the OE strut mounting and give enough space for bigger discs?
Is there something wrong with the OE strut, is it to weak for this kind of mod?

Bonsoir mademoiselle.
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?

"bump steer" is not used in Belgium to explain somekind of mechanical problem.
Can anyone explain it to me?
As far as I read, it happens when swapping struts from one car to another. But what happens? How do you recognize it while driving etc?

Salut,
La Datsun Cherry utilisait ce type de jante en 13 pouces.
Je pense que j'en ai encore.

I don't know the commun used name for the straight sheet metal part that runs from the front fender under the door to the rear fender. Is it still available, Nissan or Aftermarket?
As well are the 2 door rear fender still available or is someone selling repair panels for the bottom part of the rear fenders?

I search the www for Datsun in Portugal. I discovered a few online magazines, got in touch with 2 people who advertised there. Second advertiser was some kind of private collector and selle,r specialized in Austin etc. mostly GB cars. He also had two Datsun. He sold me the firt B110 and the 510 and search for the second B110. He also came with a 4 door Skyline 240K GT, a 180B and a 120A coup

All 3 cars (2x B100, 1x 510) arrived today from Porto, Portugal, to Belgium.
They are all 100% complete.
The 510 is in really good shape. Just needs a new paint. The first B110 has also all parts but has been painted with a brush. So there is a lot of work getting everything stripped.
The second B110 is not as nice as the 510, but much better as the first B110.
At first look the bodies of both B110 have only liitle surface rust, inner and outer fenders are OK, doors are nearly rust free too.
Can't wait the start disassembling to see how straight they really are.
Next weekend I drive to London, UK to pick up the RWD SR20DET.
Will try to set up an online dairy, with pic and comments etc.

Where is to German WRC held this year? Last year the HQ was in Trier and the stages were in the wine yards. I really appreciated. It's close to Luxenbourg and Luxembourg is 1.5 hours from me. So 2 hours drive for great fun isn't so bad.
But don't try to drink and drive in Germany, the Polizei is everywhere.
