I used the rear discs and calipers from a u13 blubird. Pretty much all the bluebird/primera stuff is the same. The rotor slips over the wheel flange easy as. You need to remove your backing plates from the axles, which means removing the axle bearings. I made up some plates to go between the axle bearings and the wheel flange to retain the bearings, and hold the axle in. Then I made a plate that bolts to the back of the axle tube flange to mount the caliper to. I think from memory I need a 2mm spacer between the caliper and the mounting plate to centralise the caliper on the rotor. I welded two plates to either side of the braket on the diff in which the outer of the facotry handbrake cable is anchored to, and bolted the ends of my shortened bluebird handbrake cables to them. The ends of these cables go into a bridle type thing which ataches to the factory cable from the bdy. it's not a "bolt on conversion". But it works well.
