Perhaps best swap is:
* 1200 drum hubs
* S13 rotors (250mm) & calipers

This combination keeps Track exactly the same, with no machining required. Only need the caliper adapters. See S13 brakes

The only thing is that some 13" alloy rims will fit 250mm brakes, but steel wheels will not. And some alloys won't fit either

The 250 mm rotors may not be available in Europe?

Other swaps for bigger rotor & caliper:
* 251mm 280ZX swap (with drum hubs). See 280ZX Brake Upgrade
* 245mm B310 140Y/150Y rotor swap, also has larger calipers -- fits 13" wheels. See Big Disc Upgrade

the bottom ones r bigger than standard s13, I have used them as an upgrade on my s13 :D
You should try the sx owners clubs, boys r always upgrading their s13s so you can get them cheap and quite often in good nick. Maybe even some of the SXOC uk guys will post out to you.

In EUR and USA, we didn't get 250 mm rotors, we got larger 257 mm which won't fit 13" wheels

the 245mm are the only ones that fit most 13" wheels

Yes, these listed as "JDM Nissan Silvia S13" are not ... they are R33 or something. Will they fit within 13" wheels? Unknown

These listed as "Nissan 240SX" are USA S13, so are for the 257 mm rotors. Maybe the same as JDM or Australia 250 mmm calipers, maybe not
