cheers Blake

The disc brake upgrade kits will be available in a few weeks.

I went to order the brake upgrade kit, and they are presently out of stock. I sent a PM to find out when the kits will be available again.

Thanks for the info Dave, I will be ordering some.

He still lists them on his site. It sounds like the way you did it is the best for the average person wanting to have more stopping power on their Sunny 1200.
If well though out, something that is simple will trump some complicated far out idea.

My car will be an everyday driver when finished. In everyday driving one doesn't know what they may encounter in various driving conditions. There is a reason why the factory uses them. Some race cars and certain street cars have actually modified the dust shield with ducting to cool the brakes.

David, we started with 1985 200sx rear rotors (82-88 200sx) that we found at the U-Pull-It, and yes they are the same as 1982-83 zx rear rotors.I think you pointed out they were the same. The 240sx rotors cross drilled and slotted on Chick's car are amazing!! I found most 13" after market wheels work EXCEPT Western Wheel 8 spoke minilites-hit the calipers...Don't think Klotz has any brackets left and I doubt if he will make another run..it hard to convince 1200 guys that something so simple works!

You are really confusing me.

Doug, didn't you fit 280ZX rotors to stock Datsun 1200 struts?

For upgrading 1200 front brakes, there are two common ways:
* Modify 280ZX strut assembly and fit it to the 1200
* Keep the 1200 strut assembly and fit 280ZX rotors to it. You don't need a dust cover (although fitting one would help wear slightly, but not a lot different)

Correct on the 280ZX strut and brake swap.

I didn't realize this upgrade used 280ZX rear rotor as part of the swap, I thought the calipers were off a Sentra or something similar and new they fit 13" wheels which is a plus.

Is there a reason why you want or need the dust sheild?? Granted it's a race car but I run without them, but the wheels get washed off after most events.
