The setup uses
* Wilwood Dynapro Single, 3.25" Lug Mount calipers
* Drilled Steel rotor (thin), 6-hole mount
I cannot find the hat he is using, but if you call Wilwood, they could advise

Datsun 1200 strut
* 3.25" caliper lugs
* 4-on-87mm rotor bolts
* 70mm registration hole
* rotor bolts behind hub

Really interest on this set up!!!!

Im sure you understand the prices of rotary parts atm and near future?

its getting cheaper to go full billet plates the way things are going
South Africa has some cheap CNC places for a full billet 13b

stock non pollution early 1970s 13b weighs around 120kg
full alloy around 80kgs.

Id go for the recommended above to counter the heavier rotary

The Pinto front suspension swap is a very old swap. It is not the best, but it's tried and true

The "Pinto" brakes from Wilwood are a better idea:
* Light alloy hubs
* Extra light thin rotors
* alloy calipers

For drag racing, light is good

I have no idea if Pinto-spec hubs can be modified to fit a 1200.


Here's what a fellow club member has done:

Wilwood Dynapro single caliper and Wilwood 10.25" two-piece disc. Uses stock 1200 spindle and stock 1200 hubs

I finally got these struts on the car! Wow is all I can say! The pedal is rock hard and the car stops ridiculously fast! I haven't done any measured stops yet but the feel is outstanding.

B210 is different from Datsun 210. It's the 210 strut that documented swap for 1200s

For a budget street/strip car, S13 struts are better than Pinto suspension (lighter, and better brakes). Nissan S13 parts are easy to source in Missouri, it was a regular production car for USA: 1989-1994 Nissan 240SX

Missouri is also home to the winningest 1200s in the country (SCCA racers) including pjz who sells 1200 racing parts

Thanks, I send you a private message

Because of sourcing and comparing price, I'll probably buy a set of Wilwood or aerospace. Had a bit some issue before with aerospace(warping).

Will see if I can modify the Wilwood to fit.

I would not advise B210 parts

Thanks for the advise.. Will be doing some research around to see if I can fin a B210 around.

I was also advise in using the Ford Pinto Hub/ disco brake. Has anyone done this route?

OPTION 1: PCD-converting wheels spacers are easiest way, works OK with high-offset wheels
eBay search

does not look possible to put 5-lugs in a stock hub

If you swap to B210/B310 struts

Looks like enough material to fit 5-lugs?

Until you turn the hub over

So it looks like a strut swap is best option?

OPTION 2: B310 ("Datsun 210") struts are same length as 1200, but are the larger 2" tube so your shock inserts choices are abundant. If you swap these onto your 1200, Ford 5-lug rotor-hubs from eBay bolt on. See B310 Strut Swap and Ford Brake Swap

OPTION 3: Maybe could swap S14 "240SX" 5-lug struts with 5-on-4.5" wheel bolt pattern. See S13 Strut Swap, should work IF S14 is similar. Uses 1200 struts with Datsun B310 lower control arms & ball joints

Hello guys, need some help.. I look over the wiki but couldn't get the answer.

Before I spend any money on my front brakes (waste) need your help. What options do I have When upgrade the front brakes?

I'll be using 15 X 4 wheels 5 lugs 4.5 ford bolt pattern

Any advise is welcome?

I thought of re drilling the factory hub to 5 lug..

Thanks in advance!
