hi all,

ok so i need rear discs 4 the 30, (290mm)

i have heard u can use 300zx as they are similar, but the hat height is differnt so need to space out caliper? which i dont want to do,

my question(s) has ne 1 tried to use a s13 rear brake setup. i no the calipers + pads are same, wondering if braket and disc wouuld mount up ?

or i was thinkin i could use aussie spec caliper brakets and discs? ne 1 done this ?

the oz rear disk setup which includes the trailing arm (has the hubs &brackets all on it)gets pinched for the datto 1600/180b crew so i guess its possible to put it in what you have... but do you already have rear disks? i confused!

i do have one here, but im hopeing to keep it for future adjustable setup

im more than happy to get measurements and pics for you

I was under the impression only the (MR30 - OZ) 'hatch' had the disc rear end ?, I know the one I have has it, but for the others I don't know for sure

What's wrong with a spacer? Your talking about a 5mm spacer washer as opposed to a conversion, or using smaller diameter rotors off the Oz delivered car?????????

That would be insane IMHO.

Cheers, D

yea on a r31 rears vn-vs calipers fit. same spacing etc and just use commo pads.

just remembered that im runnin brackets that the calipers mount on cos was old r180 drum rear which i converted to disk. so have to double check the caliper bolt spacing on stock r30 rear disk brake calipers. if that makes any sense.. oh and with commodore calipers u cant use ur handbrake cos their drum. so either r31 calipers or just r30's (280zx?)

    • For me at least the reason why it bothers me is because it's indicative of a deeper problem. And that will nag at me forever. Especially because I have tailpipe emissions testing + evap leak testing every 2 years.
    • WELP. I went to the track, and I suppose it went okay because any time you can drive home is okay. You may notice the car is not on the circuit in this picture. It was about 35C day out in Benalla which means the track was approximately the surface of the sun, probably. Good things, car did not overheat but it _was_ warmer than when I had done track days in similar heat before, I think, I'm not sure - I can't quite remember. Coolant got to ~105 via the ECU after 20-30 minutes of belting it in said heat. Oil got up to 145C in one instance which is pretty crazy due to oil cooler. Pressures were fine. I seem to remember this not getting quite so high before the vents. More HMMMM'ing to be done. On the subject of HMMM'ing, can anyone identify the sounds in the video below, you will know which ones I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3BkI2cbTc I included some 'normal' sound as a reference for the first minute or so. The microphone in this instance was where the license plate is. It stopped working later in the day which is why my "best example of a lap video (not produced)" had internal audio - Isn't hearable from inside the car. I don't mean the chirping of the un-bedded/badly bedded track brakes which you can only hear while braking... Thoughts, brains trust?
    • blame old mate Hawkins for that one  I remember way back in the day the japanese didn't want them either... they always assumed a race shell would be thrashed. We found a few when looking for an R34 GTR for the Whites to drive in Targa Tas back in 2002.
    • I know it's probably not going to cause any major engine issues. I just had a more generic concern that it's technically not running right (I guess this means the rpm is not sitting where it technically should be) Though the other thing is, it's that my steering wheel is shaking at 1,100 rpm at idle until it gets warm (seemed to happen after I tightened my alternator belt, will be testing the alternator soon).
    • I mean, what's the concern here? Higher fuel consumption? FWIW my idle sits at around 800rpm or so as well. And yes, it runs fine, idles fine and there are no issues as far as I can tell. I don't quite see the problem.
