Hi, I have a 1981 Datsun 210. I am wondering which rotor, caliper, and pad (USA) will switch out with my car. I problem is that the rotor is behind the hub. Would 1980-1983 200SX front brakes work?

When swapping brakes around, it's good idea just to try and swap the whole strut assembly. I would bet the 200Sx strut will work in a 210, but you'll need to use the upper hats and insulators from the 210 on the 200Sx strut.

I see. I was planning on swapping out the whole rear end with a 1980-1983 200SX with Disc Brakes when I decide to swap in a KA24DE and 5 speed. I was searching and found out that the rear discs from a 200sx are bigger than the from discs on a 210. That freaked me out. Thank you for the reply.

there is a whole lot of options for this the easiest swap would be a set of struts from a nissan A10stanza (austr.) dont know the u.s
equivelent
R31 skyline struts are also easy
I have heard that 280zx struts can be made to fit , dont know hard this is .
and you can unbolt the disc off the back of your hub and fit another bigger disc and mount a caliper to suit using your struts

I have R31 skyline in mine I had the stanza ones in but the r31 have bigger bearings , more shocks avail. , shorter in body and ventilated brakes.

yep you need to swap the struts as the Sunny stub axles are too short for a brake swap.

no , they can be used TR/TS ?magna/verada (diamante??) brake rotors go on with some machine work then a caliper mount and away you go

a stanzaA10 /510 violet A10 with Girlock calipers

edit

280zx ones will work if you convert to coilover suspension, or you can weld on the 210 spring perches.
