wanted to buy bluebird series 1,2 and 3 rear brakes (or whole diff if needed). im upgrading my rears on the ute and i think that people have used the discs off the early blueys before without to much fuss.

can some1 confirm this and does anyone have the parts im after?

pm me with good news

yeah goes well,

you need all the brake stuff including backing plates

you will need to put the backing plates on your axles (i pressume you want to put them on the standard h165)

its a good idea to get brake lines made with banjo fittings to ensure the lines wont hit the chassis on full bump

what brakes can you use on the back of a r31 skyline diff? wants discs on my ute.

R31 should already have discs.... if yours doesnt get some R31, or commodore. anything with borg warner in it, 25 spline 28spline LSD open centres will all have the same brakes.

actually, r31 brakes are difference to commodore brakes which are different to falcon brakes

just find some r31 skyline or pintara brakes

yeah. thats right.

whats a banjo fitting?

banjo fitting is where the hose has the circle thing at the end of it, and a bolt goes through the center of that and into the caliper

oh yeah, the circle thing with holes in each side to let fluid through, and it sorta looks like a banjo... yeah im catching your drift.

and the bolt needs to have holes in it too?

Just remember that the calipers 'float' on their mounting pins, so they must have brake hoses [not pipes] between the end of the pipes on the rear axle housing, & the caliper, just like the factory made them, so save the mounting brackets for this from the donor rear end.
