Zac,
Bluey rears are 280mm.
Go to www.dba.com.au and have a look at their online catalogue, print out
all the Nissan/Datsun rotors and you'll be able to see if you can swap in a
different disc.
I think that the answer is no, since it is already so big and has internal
drum brake.
If you are thinking what I am thinking...
Clue 1. I have no LSD
Clue 2. I have a bluey internal handbrake and will fit R31 calipers with
mechanical handbrake.
Clue 3. I will have a Co-Driver with two arms or legs.
Clue 4. Sk*d St**r!
Regards,
Nick
