Brake upgrade for Datsun 1200?

Looks almost like you have 280zx hubs there , same setup as i have done (280zx hub , rx7 calipers and disc)

 

What are the brackets like? Flat between the calipers with about  10mm spacers on on the strut bolts.

 

I found a 15x8 Zero offset wheel is pretty much hard up against the strut (R31 strut) 

280zx strut might have a different angle slightly in the stub axle to allow more clearance.

If you have some 1200/120Y Disc brake struts, then the S13 conversion is a very very easy swap.

As Karl says, I have a fresh batch of plates cut.

The S13 uses a 250mm rotor, and doesn't increase the unsprung weight too much.

280zx brakes are great, but the calipers are mad heavy, plus you'll have to swap to sunny (B310) steering arms. This is no biggie, as they'll bolt straight on to your ute lower ball joints. But the Ackerman may (Probably wont) be the same as a 1200.

The 280's do support wheels with lots of dish.
