For general brake improvements, see Brake Upgrades.
Better Brakes
Here are some considerations of a braking upgrade:
- Bigger caliper and brake pads will slow down car more quickly
- Larger-diameter disc brake rotor will improve braking power and sensitivity
- Vented rotors will improve repeated stops (less brake fade because the rotors can shed heat faster)
- Coilover swaps permit wider tires
Notes:
- Slotted/drilled rotors are unnecessary and can often weaken the rotors, but may be useful in some racing applications (check with your brake vendor for their suggestions)
- Large tires will improve brake contact patch thus are a huge part of increased braking performance
- A dual master cylinder is safer than a single one. See Brake Upgrades.
- Front and rear caliper/cylinder ratios should match the application of the car weight bias, brake and tire sizes (See Brake Proportioning). Otherwise, a brake proportioning valve will be needed to prevent premature lockup
- Bigger tires. Yes, this has a big effect on brakes, because more rubber on the road lets you stop faster before the car skids. 1200 accept 185-width on front, 205-width on back (if the wheels have appropriate backspacing)
Slotted Rotors
RDA can supply standard 1200 rotors with slots if you ask for them. Mine cost me $290 for the pair.
Some say slotting and drilling have no performance benefit but can increase the likelihood of cracking. But they look schmick.
1200 Disc Swap
If your 1200 has front drum brakes, take note that disc brakes are:
- easier to work on
- More resistant to fading -- safer after repeated stops (they dissipate heat far better)
Swapping 1200 drums for discs is easy.
See main article: 1200 Disc Brake Swap
front brake upgrade 1200 ute i used a sunny strut leg unbolted the disc off the hub and bolted a cc lancer vented disc to that and then a used a 4pot caliper off a 80mod volvo which bolts strait onto the sunny strut leg
- 1200/120Y struts
- B310 (sunny) hubs, outer edge turned down to 140mm
Better Brakes for HB210
See Aerospace Brake Kit for A14-powered B210 struts on Ratsun.net
http://community.ratsun.net/topic/40004-datsun-front-aerospace-brake-kit-installation
These fit the 2" North America B210 strut/hub assembly (same as PB210 Japan).
Brake Sizing
Do you need a different size master cylinder? Or a brake booster?
See main article: Brake Sizing
Better Brakes for B310 and A10
Large 268 mm disc brake rotors can be adapted to B310 (Sunny/210) or A10 (Stanza/510) struts - and still fit over 13" wheels.
See main article: S110 Brakes
280ZX Brake Upgrade
Upgrade your 1200's brake to large 258 mm (10.15") brakes -- and keep the lightweight 1200 struts! No machining required.
See main article: 280ZX Brake Upgrade
BMW E30 Brakes
Bolt E30 vented disc rotors to your 1200 struts. Minimal machining required.
See main article: E30 Brakes
S13 Brakes
13 (1989-1993 Silvia, 180SX, 200SX) brakes can be modified for use on Datsun 1200 struts. With an adapter plate (Kev Rowley special) you can use Silvia calipers and rotors on a 1200/120Y disc brake strut. .
See main article: S13 Brakes
Better Brakes for Z/ZX Struts
After you have installed Z or ZX struts, you may be interested in fitting bigger brakes to them.
See main article: Better Brakes for Z/ZX Struts

See Nissan competition MK63 Brakes
Volvo 4-piston Calipers
Volvo 4 piston calipers from a 240DL wagon bolt to the A10/810/B310 strut fine, but have different style flare fittings. Use 245mm B310 rotors (non-vented) or possibly S13 250mm vented discs.
There are several kinds of Volvo 4pot calipers (not all Volvo 4-pistons calipers will fit)
- Front caliper 38 mm bores 1976-1993 in Girling, ATE, or Reb versions
- Volvo 240/242/244/245/264/265
- 14.3mm solid rotor version (263 mm disc)
- 22 mm vented rotor version (263 mm disc)
- Rear caliper
Works with stock size B310 245mm rotors
album
250 mm S13 Brakes would probably work with caliper spacers (precision washers) about 5mm.
Subaru Leone vented rotors have been suggested but the 242 mm version are just a tad too small for these calipers.
Larger rotors can be used with an adapter to space the caliper farther from the spindle.
Hilux 4-piston Calipers
Toyoda Hi-lux and Landcruisers come with 4-piston calipers. Can be fitted over a variety of rotors.
See main article: Hilux Calipers

Datsun 810
810 rotors are solid discs. Vented discs like the 280ZX swap are superior for fade-resistant, which is important for racing and for mountain driving.
See main article: 810 Brakes
Datsun 910
Datsun model series 910 was produced 1979-1986. In some countries it was marketed as "Bluebird". In the United States it was badged as "810" or "Maxima".

Uses the same rotors as: * Japan S14 some models * USA S14 some models
Nissan B12
Nissan Sunny/Sentra B12 (1990-1994) - swap is same as 250mm S13 Brakes except that B12 uses:
- 4x100 PCD, so the rotors need to be redrilled for 4x113 PCD.
- height is 4mm different, so different adapter plate is needed
- Can use the B12 calipers per below photos

Brake Swap Notes
Twin piston sumitomo calipers for sale, go straight onto stanza struts with the use of larger 200b or 240k discs...early 200b discs are 253mm, about 10-15mm bigger than stanza ones, but are offset to suit the twinspots everything is a straight bolt in 9592.jpg PIGDOG boofheads with slotted 240k discs 9585.jpg

200b and stanza are solid discs.

CA18DET Wagon is go i took an r31 strut, and cut the spring perch off (the diameter of the spring is far too big to fit up the 1200 strut tower) and while i was at it chopped out about 2 inches from the actual length of the strut to accommodate some koni yellow shocks which i picked up cheap and had rebuilt (which is also cheap to have done). so the front end stiffness is adjustable with a little knob. because i had them rebuilt, i asked for the soft setting to have a hard rebound for goodweight transfer when i go to the drags. the springs are just some pedders lowered made for a stanza which i modified. it is just running the standard r31 vented disk and caliper. both of which are huge for a 1200.
you can also equalise the track by fitting a BW KE30 corolla diff, which is 30mm wider than the 1200 diff. then you have a car with 30mm wider track - back AND front - for better handling again! get the handbrake handle and cable too if you do this.

The stock rear brakes are fairly good, a large (for such a light car) 8" x 1.75 brake shoe. Make sure the brakes and clean and adjusted correctly. Using a performance pad will improve it.
