Datto 1600 upgrade

[Uncle]

I have a set of VY front rotors and calipers here can I use them on my datto?
Redrill rotors to 114.3 PCD etc.


Anyone done it?

Caliper will bolt to a late model 180B strut (I think?) though im pretty sure this is right. Disks will need some sort disk to hub adaptor made up.

Shit caliper
Need alot of fluid to work

yep the caliper/strut bit is on the money. Throw the disks away and buy DBA425 verada rotors and they go onto the dato hub and only require some minor redrilling for locating bolts.

Combine with an r31 rear disk upgrade and new 7/8 master.

Pending good pads (and possibly braided lines), No L series should ever burn up that setup.

yeh they are not the best but much better then stock and if they are free even better.

Another advantage of this setup is that I recall the 180b struts are shorter meaning the car is instantly lower while retaining full suspension travel.

Thinking about it if the 7/8s is no good (I'd be surprised if it wasnt) a 15/16 will definitely do the job and is bolt on pending you are using a dato booster (180b small can is go as its easy to install).

Big and free isn't actually better
Think fat chicks here
The upkeep far outweighs the initial investment

You'd probably need a patrol 1" and what 28mm thick disc do you think you'd use ?

15/16 would easily cover the VT twin sopts & the disc thickness issue is no big deal.

Anyone have a part number for the 15/16" master cylinder? Or the 1"?

[Swill]

Matty pretty sure a patrol on is 1 inch

[HoonBoy]

SWB Patrol is 1inch, got one on the Lancer. All I had to ask for was a SWB Patrol cylinder and they knew what I was after.

[dattoman1000]

Theres at least 6 different Patrol masters
What these guys aren't telling you is that you need one for a G60 series Patrol ... late 70's
They come in a few different configurations
Metric threads and Imperial threads (they made this Patrol since 1962)
They also have bleeders on them which can be on the left or right of the cylinder depending which one you get... might get close to the strut tower
Also a Patrol has drums all round so you need to remove the residual line pressure valve in the disc circuit

The most common one to use is a JB1419

And the 15/16" one that I don't think is available anymore is off the 280ZX and its a JB1361

[rolin7]

The 15/16th's ones are still available, you just have to do some searching.

Bleed nipples on the wrong side aren't the end of the world, I installed one like that and just drilled 2 holes in the strut tower.

Guys have even been fitting S14 and/or R32 non abs masters to datsuns these days with success. Redrilling the booster mount holes and using the right length rod.

Another part number I saw was CE130.42605 -> 280zx 15/16th master with nipples away from the strut tower on a RHD.

My 1inch has everything in the correct spots

Yeh they are cast iron though, heavy little buggers.
