Alright....
Who here knows the ins and outs of doing a H165 disc conversion? If I remember correctly it involves u13(?) discs and calipers?
Looking for as much info as possible, surely somebody here has done it many times before..
GO!

Re: H165 disc conversion
Yes I've done it.
What is it going into though?
U13 stuff is indeed the way to go.

That's the only pictures I know of.
I'm pretty sure I still have the file somewhere for the plates.
I actually have some plates somewhere too. And some brakes. I was planing on assembling it on a Vannette diff with the spring pads moved, and selling it all as a complete set up.
I aborted my set up on my sedan, as the shock was in the way, and I couldn't sack it out.
Here is the only pic the new owner of my old set up has posted.

Re: H165 disc conversion
Hey Bart
Do you have disks on the rear of your sedan? as above reads like you flagged it.
I am wondering what is my best option on my sedan for rear breaks, I have S13's on the front and was thinking of putting S13 on the rear is this possible or is the U13 a better option.
I will want to lower it in the future so must take this into account.

Re: H165 disc conversion
I did have U13's on the rear. The brakes were Ruthless! (If perhaps not the best balanced)
I aborted that set up. as the shock absorber on the sedan, was just too much in the way with the U13 calipers. Which was a pity, because once the plates where cut, and two 2.5mm(?) washers were made the hole thing went together really nicely. The U13 has a larger pad area than say a primera, or a U12 etc.
I've never played with an S13 set up tbh. I imagine the process would be much the same. (It was pretty easy really)

Re: H165 disc conversion
Depending on your Axle, S110 might go straight on, although where to find them would be the question.
If like Naki, you are S13 front I like the sound of S13 rear and an S13 master cyl for good measure.

Re: H165 disc conversion
I can take more pics of Bart's old setup if you want. I'm still getting new bearings pressed on so it isn't completely setup on the car.
I also bought a Wilwood brake distribution block which includes front/rear adjustment for balance and have a 280sx master on a 610/1200 booster. No idea if it will all work together but here's hoping.
