why cant you use what you have and just do a simple single pot brake upgrade???? ive seen lots of single pot s14 brakes on tm that are cheap...........

I really dont know what to do, as im trying to avoid a cert, at least straight away, so something bolt on with no adaptors could be cheaper option.

smp has the caliper brackets to fit the n13 calipers and 280zx discs, this is still a good plan atm. I really should get them off him soon...

What engine are you planning for this???

what about just using the factory brakes and giving them a wee birthday to start with??? iam running factory brakes in my b310 and they are not great but it aint a race car either, I have just used new everything and iam happy with them

I've got 310 struts and brakes on my 1200 coupe. It still has cert for them for some reason!
I am going to put s13 on mine if I can fit them up with my mags as my brakes aren't that flash. Go s13 straight away, save you doing it twice.

Engine is a well tickled A15, so its got a fair bit more than stock. Ultimately i might just have to suck up getting a cert, but that means a driveshaft loop and all sorts.

S13 stuff might look close enough to stock for anyone that knows nothing about old datto's.

i have a real loved a12/a15 in mine with factory b310 brakes (everything new) and they are fine, why dnt you try that first with the 1200 stuff and they do cert later???

I could try the 1200 stuff, but the calipers had zero movement when i took them off so would need a lot of love to be usable at this stage.

I think i will get some caliper adaptor brackets and n13 pulsar calipers for now, even if i put these on after the 1st wof.

Ive still got to run new brake lines and get a new master cylinder and lines under bonnet atm, rear brakes had new looking cylinders and almost new shoes so hoping they wont need any major work to get going.
