Brake Upgrade

Post by sr1600 »

Heres my lastest project for the 1600

R31 front brakes and calpers next to the new ones r32 calipers with huge discs

Trying to get them ready for taupo

and yes both sets of struts are stamped NISSAN

What would the standard R31 strut brake and caliper set up be worth if sold complete????

struts from a turbo r31 are more disirable than the non turbo ones due to the spacings they have. they easily take the r32 conversion

Datsport sell their caliper brackets separately to suit the non turbo R31 struts. Last time I bought a paid they were $95 AU a side. Then just get a pair of S12 hubs or Z31 5 stud hubs, bolt the matching rotor for the calipers you have, and it bolts together.

Note you do need to drill and thread the standard caliper mounts, but not hard to do.

You should pm monty with the 180b as he has done this type of thing and has learnt some lessons. I bought the datsport kit cause I am lazy, but he has fitted an r32 strut and calliper in i think, very tidy
