Will Proj 1.6T ever get rear discs?

Ninety-Nine SE-L · Oct 5th, 2003, 11:53 AM

I still don't know anyone that has done the fastbrakes rear drum to disc conversion yet. I also don't expect anyone that DOES do it to provide the pix, review, and installation instructions like NPM would.

I would like to see the fastbrakes rear conversion done on project 200sx and also see a nice writeup. I may eventually do it one day, but I want to see what's involved and what else is needed.

Ditto for me....I need to fix or replace my drums....they're kinda dead now.

Looking forward to it.

Let me know if I'm asking too much here, but whats so special about that adapter, and can I get it separate? I'm kinda working on a very tight budget right now (owe money for school, insurance ect.) but I would prefer if I could buy the parts separate. Any ideas?

just make sure to do a good writeup, I would come over and watch if I were on the west coast.

Pretty sure you can buy the adaptors separately from Fastbrakes...

Then hunt down some calipers, brakelines, disc and e-brake cable...

I believe Fastbrakes sells the kit with just brakelines and adaptors...

Mike, anyone would be mad to...
anyway, also really looking forward to seeing this as it will be the same for my '97 nisssan Pulsar ga16de with rear drums.

I have actually been thinking of buying larger calipers and discs for the front and then using the original fronts on the back (with a bit of messing about) as I plan to go trackside mid next year in a fairly extensive way. (funds permitting

) My DBR slotted rotors and EBC green stuff pads just arent looking like they will be enough stopping power once I start bolting a turbo setup into the car.

hey guys, I'm doing my brake upgrade real soon, I think I'm gonna be doin my rear discs b4 NPM does. Anyway, I haven't heard back from Mike yet, but I'll ask here.

I plan to do a full brake upgrade on my sentra, I got the AD22VF's, I'm doin SS brakelines, rear disc upgrade, and Altima Master Cylinder. I'm prolly gonna call it Brakes on a budget or something catchy like that b/c I'm doing a full brake system upgrade for about $850. I wanna do the writeup in 3 parts (introduction/parts needed, instalation, review).

What do u guys think?

i say to hell with the damn ad22vf's and just get the fastbrake 11" kit... ad22vf's aren't THAT much better and a lot of ppl already have them so who cares about a writeup for that?
