72240z Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Real quick, will the D21 4x4 calipers stop a V6 powered truck easily? You mean like the v6 truck they stop easily stock? lol Quote Link to comment
72 327 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Real quick, will the D21 4x4 calipers stop a V6 powered truck easily? the 4x4 trucks there on stock stop just fine... Oh and they are heavier than a 2wd 620. Its not the size of the engine its the weight behind it. (wow that sounds like what we white guys are allways saying LMAO) Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Real quick, will the D21 4x4 calipers stop a V6 powered truck easily? The D21 4x4 calipers are HUGE! The pads in them are the thickest I've ever seen and combined with the HUGE Rodeo rotors I think they are more than enuf to stop a V6 vehicle. Of course I am use to little Datsun brakes so to me these look HUGE:blink: Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Got my 280ZX MasterCylinder bled and put on and the Calipers bled and took her for a spin. IT STOPS!:D Lots of peddle pressure and she stops rite now! I am going to have to get longer studs tho. Wheels hangin on by about 3/8" thread:eek: Has anyone done a stud swap? Beebani u b the man:cool::D Thank you for your inginuity and service. You are a true asset here in the Ratsun nation. For you non-believers......:fu: Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 For you non-believers......:fu: Good for you that you get your brakes bled and working to your satisfaction but not for nothing..... That has dick to do with what was argued about the brackets. I could cut a piece of cardboard that would bolt the calipers up, how safe was the concern. That's what it was too, CONCERN, not a "witch hunt" or "non-believers" or w/e other bs, it was ratsuners concern for other rasuners safety. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 yea i dont think anyone was bashin either, just a general concern.. but glad you got em put on bud im sure its tons better now, im gonna switch from the 79 620 mc to the 280zx mc myself an see if that helps.. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Has anyone done a stud swap? Pretty easy, especially if you have new studs. :D Hit the old ones with a hammer and they will fall out the back of the hub. Put the new ones in the hub try to lightly tap them in to get a bit of purchase. Put your wheel on and tighten up the lugs all the way, in the cross pattern. Then take the wheel back off to make sure they are fully seated. If you pull the hub off you can pound them in with a hammer, but if you not in there for the wheel bearings anyways, that up there is the way to go. ;) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Has anyone done a stud swap? Napa 641-2785 is a 45.5mm lug stud that fit another Datsun project. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Napa 641-2785 is a 45.5mm lug stud that fit another Datsun project. Is this longer then the stock studs with same thread pitch and diamater? Quote Link to comment

I do believe tho it will be plenty strong. It definitely could have had more meat around the bolt area. Only time will tell:D Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Napa 641-2785 is a 45.5mm lug stud that fit another Datsun project. So... Datdoug... what longer studs did you use. Did you try these out? Or did you keep them stock. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 So... Datdoug... what longer studs did you use. Did you try these out? Or did you keep them stock. Thanks! Dude, way to long ago to remember all the details. Got the studs from NAPA and they were different thread and different grooved part. Just take one of your stock studs in and tell them you want one longer. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 HAHA! Yeah man I do everything very late. Thanks, I will do that. I will post the number up once I get it. Peace! Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Every time I look at this thread I get the same feeling... Those brackets are scary :blink: no doubt, they look sorta on the thin side too me as well Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 hey datdoug i am thinkin gof doing this swap on my truck but building my own brackets just for fun (and of course to save some dough!!! less than 20 bucks instead of 120 and some personal satisfaction!! lol) anyways the front looks really good on your truck but what about the back? would a guy get away with using the same master cylinder, calipers, and rotors, with the only difference in the brackets? i know on most new vehicles the front brakes are way bigger than the rear and i would want minje the same size atleast.

Farmer Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Here you go about the back brakes http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=201 Good starting point Larry Quote Link to comment
Braden Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 thanks farmer :) i was trying to avoid the solid rotors, i think i might go with the same calipers and rotors as the front, i work at oreilys and the total cost to me was about 250 bucks for one end, the calipers are the ones that come with the thermoquiet pads as well as lifetime warranty rotors, so im looking at about 500 bucks for all around disc conversion, plus my labor in the brackets, does anybody have any tips for making the brackets?

DongTran Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Front Brake Disc: The part # 8-97254-295-0, cross-refs to the following cars, in case one doesn't find a MY02 Rodeo at the boneyard. 02-04 Isuzu Axiom 02 Honda Passport 04 Isuzu Rodeo V6 02-03 Isuzu Rodeo L4 01-04 Isuzu Rodeo V6 01-03 Isuzu Rodeo Sport Front Brake Caliper Brackets: Production range from 01/92 to 97 D21/pickup 4x4, fits V6. Be advised if you are piecing together this project, dealerships do NOT sell the bracket separately. They are sold with the caliper as a set. Quote Link to comment

I don't have any tips on making the brackets, but if you wanted the rears you could just buy my extra set :) Quote Link to comment
nok620 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks good Doug, damn newspaper stuck to the paint (wasn't cured enough I guess) I see. They looked really good before they went in the box. Yes, these do fit the 521, 520, and 320. They all use the same spindle casting. The only things that change between them is the inner bearings and the 320 has shorter control arms. There's still plenty of meat around the caliper bolt holes, 3/16" or so. I like to keep the holes a little oversized (John Deere fit) because of the variances in castings. That way it's a one size fits all. I have seen a few differences between calipers over the years, between brands and years. Quote Link to comment
