Use the search bar on the left, this has been covered extensively over the years. Cheater 5 uses S13 brakes there are heaps of possibilities.

The S13 SR20DET brakes are fiarly sizable. Remember that Nissan has them on a car which is significantly heavier that our little datto's so that will improve them even more. Couple that with some good quality pads and decent rotors and the will get even better. If you think you are going to need even bigger brakes you can fit S14 4pot calipers, but you will need the correct offset wheel to do so. I am doing a S13 upgrade, but with custom made hups so that I run a 5stud with the wheels I wanted.

Unfortunatly, as my car is a project, I'll let you know in about 4years how they go...........if I'm lucky and stop changing my goals for the car.

really dont want to sound like half the people on here (see: broken record player) but the search bar is by far your best freind right now.
As can be seen its been done a lot before.

Basically:
Machine hub dia down to get s13 rotor to fit over hub
Use adapter plate to mount caliper to kb110 strut (1200 coupe which came originally with disks)
Use s13 brake flexi hose and banjo bolt to get fluid to brakes

Easy peasy japanesey
