ggzilla Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 oh that's where I learned to work on Datsuns. My shop teacher Mr. Unfred lived on Cooks Hill. Are those wheels SSR MK III, or Hoshinos? Quote Link to comment

Are those wheels SSR MK III, or Hoshinos? Small world! :P I was running a 15x7 Hoshino Impul on the car but found a good deal on these 14x7 NOS Work Equip 03s. The tire on the Works is a Goodyear RevSpec 165/55/14. Quote Link to comment
silverdime Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Great looking dime. Love the color Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Got tired of seeing my dime on jacks stands so after 8 months I finally broke down and bought the pieces to do a rear disk swap. I used 86 Maxima calipers, 83 200sx rotors, EDP conversion brackets and Datsun Parts LLC brake hoses. All and all not a tough swap- pretty easy actually. I still need to figure out the best way to maintain the factory e-brake. I cut the backing plate off of the car to avoid disassembling the rear hub. I used a 4in cutting wheel and finished it off with a cold chisel. Then I installed ARP wheel studs. Aaron has a new one piece design for his brackets and I got to be the guinea pig. Here is the bracket mocked up on top. I mounted mine on the bottom to allow me access to the e-brake pull. The passenger brake hose hooks to the 3 way block attached to the underside of the car. The drivers side hose hooks to the stock hose. Bolt everything up with lock washers and a little loctite and you are ready to roll! Your dime now has rear disk brakes! Quote Link to comment
