*WHIP CRACK*

another win for the hilux/pug/corona conversion!

its old but it solves all! w00t!

I read somewhere about using nissan 300zx hubs to get 5 stud hubs on the front.

Ask Cruzida. He seems to have tried lots of options re Hubs and brakes.

[CrUZida]

All my research is limited to xA6x, xX7x, xZ1x struts.

PMP020 seems to have found a good conversion for a KE20 , this may be applicable

EASY KE20 BRAKE UPGRADE???
found out what setup i got in the RBKE and ill be copying the setup into SUS.

MX62 cressida struts n brakes
KE30 steering arms
KE20 springs and strut tops

bobs ya uncle bolt it in. smallest wheel that can be run is 14" but u can run up to 16" and clear the strut tower and spring mount with ease. im very excited about SUS stopping alil easy now that its gna have rego on it

cheers scott

Yeah the thing is I need brakes that are bigger than the donor car (180SX) so I can get it passed by an engineer and I would also like something I can use on the track when the car is done so I was looking at some bigger options if possible

[Cuzzo]

What size discs is the 180 and what kind of calipers? alloy 4 spot?

The standard ones are 280mm diameter, 22mm thick and are ventilated and I’m pretty sure the callipers are 4spotters

[Bananaman]

I'm using R32 280mm and 4 piston calipers (z32/R32 are the same). People do this as an upgrade on a 180 as well. I too have to match / exceed an s13 as i'm using CA18DET, but they only came with 250mm.

AFAIK they don't run a 4 piston caliper though. Mate with one changed his so that he had them i think.

[Cuzzo]

Well the setup i linked to only has 268mm discs and i think not as thick, so it wouldnt be bigger than the 180sx.

Looks like custom caliper mount for you. Best of asking a brake place which huge upgrade they could design for you. Or if you wanted, design and get custom fabricated your caliper mount. Just need to find a disc which will fit on the stub axel.

I would probably still recommend a different strut with a larger stub axel and bearings.

Will it be a street/track car? Drag car? Cause with the bigger brakes you go the heavier and more unsprung weight.(= slightly less handling)

[Bananaman]

Keep in mind cuzzo that hilux calipers probably weigh double what your typical alloy 4 pot weighs

[Cuzzo]

Yes very true. The hilux calipers are pretty heavy. Around 12kg together.

Alloy FTW. Someone make up some hilux ones out of alloy. I'll buy them for 50bux

Also, could be worth contacting an engineer. While matching the donor car is a good rule of thumb, considering the ke30 is lighter, 267mm should be more than enough.

[SLO-70Y]

Yeah that’s what I’m going to have to do. The engineer will shed some light on what I can use and what not. About the fabrication for the calliper mounts that’s not a problem for me as I can do that stuff at work so if anyone has some more ideas that need custom fabrication I’m all ears

[Cuzzo]

Well if you can find a strut and disc combo, go fkn nuts on a light good quality caliper and you will be laughing.

You could still go the corona and puegout setup and put a good caliper on the bracket you make without the machining. Then you will have a 270mm disc vented/slotted.
