I'd be keen to know to. I managed to source a complete set of S13 front brake bits for $50, knowing this may be the go.

basic run down is

adaptor plate
machine hub down a couple of mm's until disc can slip over
longer wheel studs (from s13 etc)

all bolts together pretty easy. I've just used standard 1200 disc/drum master cylinder in both my upgrades, no mucking around with boosters etc. Upgrade works great

Some of the guys on here have some brackets or cad designs to get brackets, PM BArt, he'll point you in the right direction if he can't help I'm sure.
