Starting 8/76, B210s got larger front brake pads and calipers than the B110. These were HB210 models with the A14 engine. A12-powered B210s may have continued to use the smaller brakes.

In australia, where "local content" was used on some Datsuns, the brakes may be different.

1200 sedans and wagons (i think) have drums all round so any disk brake setup wopuld be an upgrade

ive got 120y brakes/struts, and im wondering why the tech section mentions it as a brake upgrade, i guess ive never had stock 1200 brakes, but the 120y setup is awful for stopping, im thinking of getting the stanzas but whant to know if u can use old skyline setups, or the 240k setup?

I think I'll invest the $60 or so in a pair when my time comes. My face aint pretty but I like it the way it is. You got some guts taking of the strut tops with them.

just of you had on know me back then boof, i would have lent you some spring compressors

2nd was a little more of a stress than the 1st .... knew what was coming

for the second undid the nut till it was real close to the end of the thread then stood back and slowly did the rest with only finger tips on the end of the rachet ...... BANG !!! then find the socket and nut in the garden

I'm currently removing stanza struts and replacing them with 120Y struts


why? Because Stanza struts stick out too bloody far! I've got 15" wheels i want to use, and they fit perfectly on 120Y struts, but Stanza is just rediculous!
Braking be damned, i want the bling!


I know of a 120Y with corona hubs, 200B disks and commodore callipers (something like that, big brakes) that I will buy when I get the $$$

Mine were from the wreckers so they were already out of the car. No chance to jack it down. Turned out sweet.

On topic: Go the stanza upgrade. It is very easy to do. Really its no harder than a 120y upgrade you just have to undo and do up a few more nuts and bolts.

I just undid the nut while it was in the car, then let it down on a jack. Piece of piss

Ha, Did you find the second one scarier than the first? The first one i was like she'll be sweet then Bang. Then thought holy crap that could of hurt. Second one i undid it thread by thread. Even shut my eyes just before the end.lol
