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.

But for coolness sake... read on.

Pitroad rear disc adapters for B110

  • Uses late model S130 (280ZX) caliper and rotor (I think it says it uses Skyline HR30 adapters)
44155-N3202 machined with:
* 4 new holes for the H145 pattern
* an insert for the smaller diameter axle tube interface

Andy: The Pitroad rear disk brake kit only includes the brackets, E-brake cables, axle sleeve thingys, clips, rubber brake hoses, and axle bolts. You supply the calipers, pads, and rotors from an 82-83 280ZX, as well as new oil seals for the axles, wheel bearings, etc. It's pretty straight forward, you have to pull off the old drum brake assemblies and put on their new bracket just before you put the new wheel bearings in. You do have to drill two really small holes on the E brake cable holder, but other than that it's really easy.

In general, 1982 280ZX and 300ZX has a smaller rear caliper with larger pads than the early (1979-1981) 280ZX. The offset of the early vs. late caliper is quite different.

R31 Australia

You can fit the Australian-built R31 Pintara/Skyline disc brakes onto H145/H150 axle. See "Disc Over Drum" for fitting the same to H165.

Factory Disc Adapters

Fits H165 and H190 rear axle assemblies, like the 1200 Ute axle assembly.

Disc Over Drum

"Disc Over Drum" -- easy conversion for H165 or H190 diffs! Fits over 14" wheels.

Find an Australia-built Bluebird with rear discs and swap the brakes over to the H165.

They use the drum shoes as the emergency/parking brake.

Version 1 of these rear disk brakes were used on all Nissan Bluebird Series 1 [910] TRX models & LX models except for the first few weeks of LX production. These were all sedans.

Version 2 of these brakes were used on all Series 2 & Series 3 Bluebird [910] TRX models [sedans] & LX models [sedans & wagons]

R31 Australia

You can do a conversion to a H165 ute diff with a Australia-built R31 Skyline/Pintara disc rear setup.

Fitted the calipers facing forward as you can then run the cables back and loop around and utilise the existing hand brake bracket and cabling on the diff.

Rear Axle Swaps

See Rear Axle Swaps

These include rear disc brakes:

  • Complete rear end off a Toyoda with disk brakes (Corolla AE86)
  • Complete rear end from a Mazda RX7 GSL-SE
  • Complete rear end from a 1980 to 1981 S110 (Silvia, 200SX) H165
  • Complete rear end from a 1982 to 1983 S110 H190

200SX either narrow the housing or use fender flares.

Toyoda...cheaper LSD from TRD.

Mad Dat Kit

Mad Dat sells a narrowed Nissan rear axle assembly with disc brakes. Shortened R31 28 spline unit (looks like an Aussie R31 BW78 unit).
