"Today I made a start on my new calliper mounting brackets.     For the plate that attaches to the diff I decided to repurpose the brackets that I made for the S14 callipers. I simply cut off the corners to allow room for the calliper mounting bolts on my..."

"While my build diary is focused on brake swaps I thought I would post up how I have decided on the critical measurements for my calliper to disc height relationship.   Offset can be managed through brake disc hat height and adapter plate thickness so wont..."

"Good to hear you are doing ok.   I Haven't actually considered any particular model of car to use as a donor vehicle for my swap. My process for choosing an appropriate rotor was to do a size search through the brembo web page. I just put in the sizes..."

"In no way naive, nothing beats 4 wheel discs if done right thats for sure. R31 calipers should do well as my wags was very low and ran 13s with the R31 discs. Did want to try something like the front discs which were later 120y rotors which are quite..."

"Thank you for the advice regarding the 260z drums D. While I realise I'm being naïve in this endeavour, I kind of have my heart set on a 4 wheel disc swap if at all possible.   As for adjustable shocks, I did have a quick look into that a while back and..."

"I actually have an H165 diff siting in the garage. (Spare for the Daily driven 1200 Ute) But the wheels on my 1000 fill the available outer width completely so couldn't go wider without swapping to some front wheel drive wheels to counter the offset..."

"my vb10 had r31 rear discs and calipers using r31 rear caliper plates/mounts which slide on or not welded up. TBH never liked discs in the rear as the disc was not only larger diameter than the front which were a little wider, the handbrake was never as..."

"Would this setup on the wider B110 diff housing give the clearance you need. Would the wheels still be under the rear guards though."

"Well that only took me a day to change my plan for the handbrake cable holder.   New plan is to hold the outer loosely so the cable can move as the caliper slides during use.   I ended up welding on a small metal tab to stop my P-clip from rotating and..."

"Its good to see this getting fixed up again.   I got the chance to see that car years ago at all jap day Banyo. I loved it.   Will you be registering the car again? or will it be race-track only 1000?"
