hey everyone i need to get some info on what people have done to there 1000 stub axles as i need to upgrade my brakes now i have serched a few times and the only ones i can find are the hz holden and the nissan vannete which hasnt been completed yet as i know of also any photos of upgrades would be much welcomed so if any one could help me out on this it would be much appreciated

vannete is easy to do all you have to do is use 1600 tie rods ends and vannete upper and lower ball joints this setup will give a little bit of neg camber and you might have a problem with the steering arm that the tie rod ends attches to being a bit high

Im running custom hubs from dattoman1000s brake setup but heres what ive seen ( i think )

early 1200 coupe? hubs (same as 1000)
Sigma disks and calipers and brakets. The brakets need 2 holes elongating to fit the 1000 hub pattern.

so search sigma?

This is the Sigma GE setup for 1000 that D did.
229mm solid disks
sigma calipers and caliper bracket
1200 coupe or 120Y hubs
1000 lines
1000 coupe or other later twin system master cylinder





Or you could just put 120Y or 1200 disks, hubs and calipers.

Or this hybrid that Jempson did,

Late model 120Y (1975ish) hubs and disc's (219mm diameter) which bolt straight onto the 1000 stub axles. Then get a GE Chrysler Sigma (the sigma with fake air vents on the gaurds), grab the calipers and caliper mounts, re-drill the caliper mounts to suit the 1000 stub axles (using the old drum brake as a template). Machine 2 mm off the heads of the 4 bolts that hold the caliper mount onto the stub axles, then assemble.

This is the Laser setup from Dattoman1000 on Beatties car.






and Dattoman1000s custom hub and caliper mounting plate.

My upgrade what I have done ,not on the car yet I use 120y hubs there is one model 1977 thats what I was told they came off they fit straight on the 1000 axle which they do I have tryed them they use the same bearings. 120y's have a taper on the hub where the bearing sits but the model I have look identical to the 1000 .The set up I have came from a 1000 coupe race car down here he has had no probs.with brakes he has very quick car.

hey guys thanks for all the help i just really need to know about stub axles not hubs and stuff as i am going to be using r32 gtr brakes (over kill i know but its race street car) and can make all that work but i am just puzzled about the stub axle as it is like a twigg lol but i might go with the vanette does any know what model the ones that fit came of

its other name iss nissan nomad

ohh ok cool do they stay the same all year models

I'd like to see some photos of this setup. I briefly looked into this and found the C20 vanette had different ball joints which would not easily fit B10 control arms. The taper on the vanette ball joints is certainly much larger than the b10 type. So I'm puzzled as to how it should all go together. I'm not saying it can't be done, just want to see how it has been done.

Also, I've raced on 265mm solid disks upfront with good pads and standard 1200 ute drums at rear. With a double-entered car that only stops to refuel and change drivers, it goes lap after lap of Eastern Creek and Oran Park with absolutely no signs of brake fade. We have never experienced any problems with the KB10 stub axle either. Brake balance is an important issue and so is unspring weight!

But, good luck with the skyline brake convo (even though its overkill).

yes photos would be much welcomed

also i know that smaller brakes would work but im am aiming for high horsepower figures (turbocharged mx5 motor) so i need bigger brakes lol and am not worried about weight atm as i can make other things lighter

do u experience any flex at all with the original stubaxles during hard cornering?
