Valvebounce Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hey team, One quick question, Does anyone know if the d21 hubs from a mid 80s four cylinder 2wd D21 (with 250mm vented rotors, and single pot calipers) are the same as the hubs from an early 90's VG30e 2wd D21 with 280mm vented rotors with two pot (inboard pots) calipers? I've rebuilt my 250mm brakes, but after I increase the horsepower I might need to upgrade the stoppers. I can get rotors/pads/calipers easily enough. But V6 hubs would be very hard to find where I am. Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’ll let you know how it bolts up. But I have v6 rotors and pathfinder calipers that will be going on my ka24e truck shortly. 1 Quote Link to comment

If I upgrade them, I'll buy rotors, calipers, and pads off rock auto. But if the hubs arent the same I'd be screwed. Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 @Valvebounce1996 stock 4cyl hubs, 1990 2wd V6 rotors, pathfinder calipers. Bolts up fine. The braking plate needs to be trimmed a bit and the hoses are different, but the stock ones work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Valvebounce Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks @dukerollo! Once I get the blower on my SR, i may need to upgrade the stoppers. Aside from the extra pots, are the two pot pads much bigger? Quote Link to comment
dukerollo Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I’d say they are around 20% larger. The rotor diameter increase is not huge, but you can see by the above picture that the v6 rotors are much more massive and will be able to take more heat. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I installed 1996 pathfinder front rotors and calipers on my 1986 720. It took only a little modification. You can look at my thread "lockleafs 720 shenanigans" for everything that was required. So it should work fine on a d21. Quote Link to comment
