Do no one have a detailed drawing of the discs??

Ok here you go Gary, You are a engineer do the rest:

That is hardly a detailed drawing...

Sizes like inner handbrake shoe diameter, hub diameter??

so.. short of pulling a back rotor off my car and measuring it,it seems the dimensions are :

diameter 258mm
height 47mm
thickness 9mm
spigot 68mm

looking at the alfa cat. , it seems that:

DR 6298 skyline 2.8gtx seems a good bet,

diameter 256mm
height 47mm
thickness 10mm
spigot 68mm

DR 6376 sentra/sabre 200sti also close, height bit off though,

diameter 258mm
height 44.6mm
thickness 9mm
spigot 68mm

and few others.. nothing exactly matches it seems, so now somebody has to take off a rotor, go to a midas/autozone , and physically compare the two, then try it.. no pain , no gain..

some more : maxima 300 QX discs are : 280mm x 28mm 5 stud.. and will work as replacement 300zx discs in a pinch..

keep in mind i said in a pinch.. meaning 300zx fronts are actually 30mm thick, not 28mm.. but should work (im still going to try this myself..)

EightySix · Post by **EightySix** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 12:23 pm

Not at the moment no... but will be taking the samples there soon

Doctor G · Post by **Doctor G** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 12:26 pm

the thing about the rear discs are that we need a disc that has the drum on the inside for the hand brake.

does the skyline 2.8 discs have a similar setup?

I know for a fact the sentra disc doesn't - so we can kick that idea.

HancoB · Post by **HancoB** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 1:22 pm

I know the 2.8 skyline disc is almost the same but there is somethin not the same, cant remember what.
