Finally got to drive my 1600 today since buying it as a shell. The smile on my face was priceless. but it handles and brakes like a boat. So I've done some research and before I buy my gear I wana ask u guys if I'm going in the right direction. Im going r31 front and rear. I no datsport and maddat make kits but dont really wana spend 3k right now. Buy all the micky mouse stuff later.So wat I've learnt I need r31 struts, hubs, rotors and calipers. Cut the spring perch and weld on the 1600 strut perchs. Put spring and top on and bolt in. Then custom some brake lines. Now for the rears I'm gonna buy maddats r31 rear brake mounts. Then bolt it all together and again custom some brake lines. Am I on the right track or is there something missing? Cheers

also you will have to change your master cylinder for the disc/disc set up and also add a booster
