Daniel,
Thankyou very much for the help, I searched for the jpeg you spoke of and
found this link
http://www.nexcent.net/datnet.org/new/techinfo/drum_to_disc_ugrd_dgrm.html
Do you know approximately what the discs, calipers, caliper mounts and
handbrake cable should be worth?
Also Errol maybe interested to know that when i punched "R31 skyline rear
discs" into google his page came up as the 3rd result.
cheers,
Adam

You need the discs, calipers, caliper mounting brackets and handbrake
cables. Simply weld up the four bolt holes in the caliper mounting brackets
and using a template of the 1600 bolt pattern form the rear crossmember or
even the backing plate off the 1600 drum brakes, redrill the caliper mounts
to suit. You'll have to enlarge the centre hole of the caliper mount by a
mm of two..... take it easy doing this because you want the caliper bracket
to "centre" properly when its put back on the rear crossmember. IMPORTANT:
make sure that when you bolt the caliper mounting bracket to the 1600
crossmember, that its absolutely square, ie perpendicular to the where the
old backing plate was otherwise you'll get uneven pad wear and sometimes
uneven braking on different sides. The hand brake cables are the trickiest
bit and basically have to be shortened and then adapted to the 1600 set-up
from the adjuster back, unfortunately I've lost the jpeg of this, someone
else is bound to have it though.
Hope this helps

I was told that the best rear disc conversion is off of the R31 skyline.
Would anyone be able to provide me some info about this conversion? like
what bits and pieces i need, modifications needed etc?
cheers,
Adam
