derrick719 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Ya I can't wait to get it all finished. As for the Mazda I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet Quote Link to comment
datsun 521 ute Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Nice find and wow with the extent you are going with it. I was originally a huge Datsun 1000 fan. My first car was a 1000 coupe which I owned for about 12 years before only selling a couple years ago and have owned probably about 10 x 1000's total. What are your plans for brakes? I know of a few little things you can do. Also check out these sites here in oz as there are still some 1000's kicking around. datsun1200.com datsun1000.com datnet.org ozdat.com/forum Here is a couple pics of my first 1000 Coupe Yes that is a 20B triple rotor, unfortunately I never got it finished and to the track. Good luck with the build and look forward to seeing the progress. Quote Link to comment
derrick719 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow that's coupe is crazy. For the brakes I'm not sure kinda figure it out once I get there. There is a few set ups but there all from cars we don't have here or are just as hard to find here. I'm all over Datsun1000.com few of e guys have helped a lot the host gave me a few parts from Australia. Quote Link to comment
datsun 521 ute Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I used the rear disc brakes from a Nissan Bluebird/910 for the front but only 14" and bigger wheels fit over. If you want pictures of the conversion I still have access to my friends 1000 ute which I did the conversion on. Do you have the 910 over there? Here is a link from Ozdat listing another conversion and mine. http://www.ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20600 Also for a brake booster setup I used one from a Mitsubishi Lancer LB/LC or you call them a Plymouth/Dodge Arrow. Although they might be different as you are LHD. Bolts straight in but the only thing is you need to do is push a very small area of the inner gaurd in for clearence, only like and inch. This is what they look like. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 yes, we go the Datsun 910. It was badged "810" and then "Maxima" over here. We use the 910 rear brake calipers on Datsun 1200 fronts with 280ZX discs, all bolt on stuff The Lancer booster we also use on 1200s, it comes on Chrysler badged mitsubishi cars.

derrick719 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Ok awesome I only knew of the sigma swap I've tried the odd brake rotors when I did the odd brake job bit none worked Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 For a Datsun 1000 that swap will make it pull up hard like a supercar -- if your tires are grippy enough. Quote Link to comment
