Old thread!

 

I still have the brackets for sale. I only have the ones that are designed for 1986-87 Maxima rear calipers. I no longer make brackets for 200sx calipers. They are essentially the same, so there is no performance difference between maxima and 200sx.

 

Pricing as of Nov 2011: $95 with free shipping in the USA. Includes installation instructions and mounting bolts.

*Pricing is subject to change without notice.

I dont check PM's.

 

These are not compatible with WAGON solid axles unless you do a bunch of fabrication work...which I cannot elaborate on because I have never done it.

 

Here is what you get:

i bought your conversion brackets some time ago and finally got around to converting my rear drums to discs / Wilwood Dynalites. when i test drove the car, there was an issue with brake dragging especially after the system warmed up a bit.

 

i checked everything out and the calipers / brakets are all square and mounted correctly. i bled the system 4 times and it runs solid. what i did notice was that the rear calipers didn't have as much pressure as the fronts when i bled them.

 

since this was originally a disc FR / drum RR combo, do you know if the stock Datsun distribution block has some sort of a metering valve to limit the pressure going to the rear lines? and if so, could i compensate with a proportioning valve to adjust for more rear bias?

 

i think the drum side of the master has a valve that keeps some pressure in the line thats needed with drums for some reason and this would cause rear disk dragging.

lol I used to make wagon brackets for wilwood calipers and zx caipers sold 2 sets so i quit making them I have my wilwood brakets on my car they work flawlessly pm 69fjwagon he has a set he may be willing to sell.

I would have bought a set if I ever had money at the time, but I barely knew what I was doing. I kinda wish you would have made a few sets to sell in the future.

 

Might you still have your plans/dimensions?
