G'day, I'm currently building a Datsun 1600 for a rAlly car and I am starting to look into brake and strut choice, I have found a r31 rear brake set up and will be using them on the rear, I am really undecided on what to do up front, I have a set of stanza struts and the standard 1600 struts that come with the car. I have found a set of Datsun 240/260z twinpiston calipers for sale and was woundering if they would fit what I have got? Or do I try and find a completely different strut and brakes set up... Any help would be great or if you have something I'm looking for that you want to sell send me a msg! Thanks

hay mntdat.
z calipers will fit the struts you have, but an easy upgrade is the 240k struts, they have the twin piston caliper,biger rotor, and the strut is about and inch lower than the std 1600 ones. ive decided to go with the 280zx strut(cheap and effective), it has the vented disc as aposed to the solid, and a big single piston caliper. (the lower spring perch needs to be changed to suit your spring size) also, they sit in about 20mm so it makes it easyer to run wider wheels! there are a few others options like r31 struts, but i havnt tryed these. another thing you can use is on your 1600 strut is volvo 4 pot callipers. again i havnt tryed this but i do have some volvo calipers here.... i might give it a go one day hope that helps

What size rims and tyres will you be using?
You should aim for the largest brakes that will fit under these.
200B and 240K are good strut and brake upgrades that pretty much bolt straight into a 1600.
Plenty of more advanced upgrades in the suspension and brake sections of the forum if you look around.
