hmmmm, im not so sure on this one, i did it to a 190 diff and didnt need to change the flaring, and why would it need shortening?, should be fine as is????

i mainly rally it more fun sometimes circut race, iv only got 13" wheels for it so cant fit to big a disks

1200 RC,
thanks for the info and I'll keep an eye on the bias . I haven't looked at my H190 yet but the H145 originally in the coupe had the double flare (concave) while the end of the flex from the bluebird caliper was concave also (requiring the single, convex flare). Don't know if it is an age disparity between the two but that's how it panned out. Shorter lines was due to the connection at the drum being right on the backing plate while the flex line from the disc caliper takes you a little further away if you mount them in line. You could , I suppose, just bend the line toward the incoming flex but the offside (short) line is quite stiff & may not want to play !! Anyhow, I had to re-flare and had the tool so just shortened each a little to mount " in line" No biggie either way I suppose. The H190 would be a slightly easier swap because they use the same bearing, axle length, and spline as bluebird but the H165 should be about (??) 90 - 100mm shorter than either of b/b or H190 so axles would be longer than the ute diff could accomodate methinks ?
Cheers

yeah either way the backing plate had to be changed, as the h190 is from a vanette, which is diffrent width again to the bluebird, which as with all of these requires new axle bearings and a 4 tonne press to change em, thats the only tricky bit we found

I have a set of 280zx srtuts and brakes i'm working on getting modified to install on my sunny 310. The brakes fit inside a 13" wheel, I tried one of my spares as a test fit. It's a bit of work to convert the strut tubes but it can be done.

910 bluebird front struts go in if you use the sunny (310) steering arms on the bottom. The bluebird front discs are even better than the sunny ones. You will need to have a ring machined to spigot the sunny arms onto the bottom of the bluebird struts.
