not for my Nova - but same deal
Right I want to fit one of these to my Nissan, purely for the reason that I have a spare set of alu GTR front 4 pots and was gona run them on the rear with 280+ discs and a brake bias valve, I know I don't 'really' need them but I think it will look cool, and also stop awesome - should lol
I will know more when I drop the rear beam shortly to polybush / powdercoat it
So, obviously you can't connect handbrake cables to a front caliper (Xantia excluded lol) hence the idea for the hyd handbrake, not to mention it would be far superior, but I've been reading up and apparantley it's only legal if you still have the cable backup, which I wasn't going to.
Apparantley it's unsafe, my mates Kangoo is fine :confused: I was just going to replace the OE lever with the hydraulic one/master cylinder and T-piece into the rear brake pipes. It wont even pass the MOT apparantley if it has a seperate hydraulic circuit :(
Anyone know the score on this?
So my new plan is to run 2 calipers on the rear, use the OE solely for the handbrake and adapt the hub to accept a front caliper on the opposite side - or wherever. I was going to do this by making another adapter plate which will space the OE caliper further from the hub thus allowing larger discs, and to run the front caliper on the rear I intended to cut off the mounting points from a scrap primera hub and weld them to the rear hub - my dad is a very good welded, so I should be safe lol - then I should be able to fit the discs under both calipers, maybe 280/300. I think the fronts are 330mm - they are from an r34 gtr and the calipers are r32 gtr.
Reckon this should be OK? Was just going to t-piece the rear hoses for both calipers, unless there's a better thing to do? And as said above, install a bias valve so the rear doesn't try and overtake the front lol
Mostly it is for I'll admit, asthetic reasons, my RL7s swallow even my 4 pots, so imagine how tiny the rear looks!
Any advice greatly received, don't tell me to fcuk off to the primera OC - they are idea theiving w4nkers lol :thumb:
