Hey fellas.I have b310 struts stock.
i Want to up grade the calipers what could i use.

Cheers Darren

Any one have any suggestions?

I would get rebuilt B310 calipers. Rockauto has them for $20 each.

Another favorite is to fit 280ZX rotors and Maxima calipers. See http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... title=280ZX_Brake_Upgrade

The 310 has the same calliper bolt spacing as the 180b. This means that you can also fit Mitsubishi verada discs and commodore vs etc callipers. But it seems a bit excessive and weighty.

You can also use early Toyota hilux callipers such as the S12 (non-vented disc). Might be a better choice. Do a search on it.

Thanks,Both cars are rare..What would be need to swap 180b struts.Should i just use the 180b calipers alone on to the b310 struts,does it make a difference?If i use 280z rotors the problem is to get the brackets.

hey darren,

The tech wiki of this forum has alot of info!has helped me countless times.

check this link from tech wiki:

Check under 'Even Bigger Brake Possibilities'
suggestions are:

Volvo 4 piston calipers from a 240DL wagon,
Land Cruiser 4-pot calipers,
GM Commodore caliper,
Nissan S13 rotor & caliper,
MK63 4-pot calipers

of course do more research on those calipers and what suits your needs for the car.atleast its a starting point.Some will need upgrading master cyclinder getting brackets made,using different hubs etc.And if only for street, you would be surprised the difference of just using better brake pads.

ive got b310 coilovers with b122/b110 upper pyros and nismo mk63 calipers.not installed yet but complete bolt on.heres a pic to show bolt spacing,

Thank you alot [a12grunt] for the information on it.
i really want a straight bolt on of another datsun brake upgrade,For Street.

I'm not aware of any bolt-on caliper upgrade for B310.

There are bolt-on caliper + rotor options from Aerospace Brakes, about $750 a set.

Most people have been using near-bolt-on strut/brake options. At the least you have to grind the strut cup and bolt-on a lowering clamp.
