    you may be able to do it if you found a smaller diameter rotor with similar pad height and disc thickness to an R31 rear rotor, then make your own caliper mount to suit

    edit: if my memory serves me correctly R31 rear rotors are finned? you may be able to shave a bit off some of the fins for clearance.. dodgey way to do it though

    Do you mean the calipers have cooling fins?

    its been a while since i looked at some but from memory they do have cooling fins, where as the bluebird calipers and corona calipers didnt.

    today i tried fitting ke55 13" rims over RT142? corona rear disc brakes and they hit the caliper bigtime

    Im fairly certain you could squeeze 13s onto the r31 setup. To put things in comparison, the st141 setup has a 280mm disk, the r31s are only 260mm. It will come down to the actual rim as to whether it will fit or not but i have a mate that has 13" superlites that will fit.

    Cheers for the help fellas.
    Im going to have a look at fitting liteace drums as they run a semi-floating style bearing like the hilux.
    The bolt spacing is slightly different, but i reckon i'll get them to fit.
    If they don't you'll all know, i'll be back on here harrassing you in no-time.
