I belive the brakes on the 180 and the Silvia are the same - as long as both the 180 and Silvia are 2.0L turbos (SR20DET engine).

180SX




Silvia

So thats pretty much saying that the 180 is a better swap??

Check out this wiki link (a little brief) but indicates it's possible.

Thanks guys i will start lookin for those calipers... ill get the phat dat lookin and soundin great again

(you could probably hear the car from where ever you are the exhust is HUGE)

Mildman u shouldnt of said that now im going to spend money on my brakes haha

i want that car

Yeah my mistake the brakes from an SR20 equipped silvia....

wat do u mean "sr20 ones"isnt that an engine,do u mean sr20 silvia or somthing.

Well breaks will have to be the first thing to do I would rekon.

First check if it is leaking from calipers - they will have some 'bleed' screws on them which it might be leaking out of.

If you bleed the brakes and put new pads in and still it doesn't stop it is likely you will need to rebuild the calipers.

If that's the case you could probably just get upgraded ones.

I hear SR20 calipers can be bolted onto 120Y struts.....theres something to look into.

That is a good photo but the rest of the interior is falling appart with springs hanging out and the back coupe parcel shelf has collapsed and broken... i know it hasnt got much rust as we got rid of it from the bonnet but i now the brakes are useless i think its leaking from the calipers
