    just randomly, do you know how hard it is to adapt r33 calipers to an s13 brake setup? (95% going to sell my new ae86 coilovers and convert to nissan front suspension/brakes)

    Put me down for FRONT mount (rotor over hub). No hurry, just when you get to it. Splendid work you do man.

    BTW, wasn't there something in the previous forum that you could use Z31 4 stud rotors?
    EDIT-My bad, Z31s are 5 stud.
    (moseys off to have a look)

    cheers

    Andrew, well done mate...

    im undecided on the floating caliper or the rear mount. as i dont really want to rub negative rca's...but if it will fit wheels easier, then so be it

    you know id be down for a set of either anyway

    Andy.

    That all depends on how much you guys are willing to pay.

    If you are happy to pay full price for labour ($100/hr) I can get them done 2-3weeks.
    If you only want to pay $30/hr labour, someone will do it in their spare time, and it will probably take 3-5weeks.

    Adaptors at full labour cost will probably be $150 per side.

    im in no rush so the 3-5 week option suits me, with the rear mounted set up, will it require a diferent caliper adaptor to the one you have shown in the floating disk setup?

    Rear bracket will be of similar design, but definately be different (and also more expensive).

    Are you likely to have these parts in stock in a few months, or is this gonna be a one off, made to order run?

    Judging by the response at this stage, I'll probably get a run of 5 floating, 10 rearmount setups done.

    (basically get enough for those who want, and then another few of each for others).

    Its economically beneficial to get at least 5 pairs made up at a time, but if I don't have any left, and you want them now, you can get some, but it will cost more.

    I will start a thread in for sale section, after
    A) I get board permission
    B) I have the adaptor drawing finished
    C) I find out approximate costs

    From there you can order.

    Would the smaller nissan calipers fit on? ie the less popular non 4spot variants, like r32 gts and 180sx and so forth.

    Because i'd like a bolt on upgrade, and these would work out quite cheap and i might be able to keep my smaller wheels.

    I'll take a set if the smaller calipers and disc go on. looking at keeping my 15s
