hey

Im putting a ca18det into my 1200 wagon !!

im getting a r31 syline diff shortned and i im stuck on what brakes are the best to run on the front i have both stanza and 1200 disc to work with. Can i shorten the stanza track inwards at all ? there are a lot of choices on what i can do yes i have been reading ! what is the best brake set up that i can do im looking at runing a nissan patrol master cylinder. I dont want to go for the s13 brakes!!!! i want to keep the 4 stud patten.

I'd be looking here if you want an entire setup - http://www.maddat.cjb.net/

s13 silvia brakes ARE four stud and 114.3 to boot. With room for EASY upgrade (skyline, type x rotors etc). Dont understand just why you wouldnt want to use em but hey, its your car.

thanks guys i have had a look at maddat and worndering if any one else has does the rx 7 upgrade. if the s13 can be done, then is there a up grade on the standard s13 setup. what about the landcruiser or hilux 4 spot set up what are the parts that are needed there. i really dont want to increase the front track width

as cheater just said, once you have the s13 bracket set up on the car its a straight bolt on upgrade to the s14 280mm brakes with either single piston caliper off the s14 or 4 piston caliper off an s15, 300zx or r32 non gtr
or if you want bigger again you can go r32 gtr or r33 brakes and all you need to do is have them redrilled to 4 stud

BUT

on the 120y struts you WILL have to run wheels that are pretty much the same size as what came off the donor car, ie 15s over the s14 stuff and 16s over skyline stuff

or you could do what i did and just adapt the skyline brakes to 200b struts and still be able to run 15s

or build yourself a maddat setup, no secret on how to build it
start with 180b struts
use 276mm magna discs, redrilled to suit hub
rx7 4 spots
make up the steel caliper bracket yourself, ozdat has a thread on it with a cad drawing of the bracket im pretty sure
will need to run 15s to clear them i would think, some 14 inch mags may clear

so pigdog, seeing as i got the s13 gear on my 120y strut set up, that means i can run the S15 4spots?

coz i think there the caliper shape where it bolts on as s13

can i run gtr brakes on the front

seems as its a straight bolt on job for an s13 to the 4 spots i can see no reason why it wouldnt work on 120y struts

but yeah s15/r32/300zx 4 spots and an s13 sr disc should be a bolt on combo

Im using the stanza strut and R31 skyline set up it wacks the front track out an inch or so. so apparently you need to run rims with the same of set as a TRX to tuck them back in. Frustraiting as I have 2 sets of rims I want to run on the ute but neither will work. and you think its done your head in I looked at the rego lable on my ute over the weekend and its been 3 years off the road

i now have got gtr r32 4pots what are the rotor's and struts that are used with these
