Rear Drum to Disc conversion?

[riojin]

ive heard of people converting their t18 drums to disc using corona discs and the like.

anyone know exactly what needs to be done?

[federal]

FAQ....i have put my write up on there....

EDIT:

and for the lazy ones.... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/faq/inde...ar_Disc_Upgrade (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/faq/index.php/Brake#RT142_Corona_Rear_Disc_Upgrade)

gday mate thats a really good page for brake and suspension info, just wondering if the info regarding corona rear brake conversion is applicable to the e series diff?? as iv just piked up a E with the corona calipers and discs to be put on

[federal]

i would have to check, but if the backing plates bolt to the housing then the answer is yes...

I have just done this actually, sitting on my bench waiting to go into my car, supposedly your meant to use a different handbrake cable and stuff but i'm going to see if the corona ones will work, goodconversion though, huge discs, they won't fit under 13's I know for a fact, and thne I just cut my brake lines and double flared them and it all looks peachy, just hoping that my shcok doesn't hit the caliper, even though I have moved it in 10mm

i moved my shock mount in 20mm up 10mm, clears mint....you are meant to use the corona handbrake cables, with a t18/sv11 front half....the car originally came with 14's....

[yoshimitsu9]

get a brake bias adjuster too

the rears lock up before the fronts on my car :S

[federal]

yeh, this is a good idea....

if you stuck with little to no cash, I'm sure you could use the stock jdm sprinter bias until you can buy a decent one ;).....or alternatively, just hollow out your std one

[dustyae86]

woulnd't happen to have spare set of cables?? tried modding mine last night but the silver solder didn't last very long, reckon you would go \2 RH ones as well

[federal]

you need to use 1xleft 1xright cables....

i have a complete spare set here (minus rotors)....

[dustyae86]

how much do you want for just the cables?? plus post to vic


also adding to what shuffler said yes you have too much rear bias unfortunately, not terrible but far from perfect

[riojin]

nice write-up on the faq atlas. very well done.

I'm thinkin of goin fc calipers also, but whats the master cylinder that you showed there? it has Master Cylinder Part No. JB1712 RRP. $175 but not the car it was first off. is it a toyota master cylinder?

[Dom86]

If its a drift car only, i found that the rear bias is really benaficial for correcting mistakes or just to slow the car down while holding angle.
i never really have to use the handbreak....

anyone know what the deal is regarding f series?

[yoshimitsu9]

i don't think the FAQ mentions it but you also need a 4mm spacer for in between fuck i can't remember what its called. you will notice that the axles move 4mm with the brakes on so you need to fix that with the spacer

i would like this answered too

[ae86-matt]

sorry to keep going back and forth but with regards to the e-series with corona discs (which is what I'm goin to be doin) exactly how do u mean "moving the shock seat up and across"????????????????? pics would be the ultra appreciated.

[dustyae86]

where the shock bolts to, when you put the caliper on they will hit the shock, so you need to cut them off and move them and re weld them so the calipers don't hit the shock, this is on a t series though, I'm asuming an E series would be the same

the master cylinder picture is of a Pajero....i have since gotten my hands on a 1inch Triton master with and adapter plate to suit, i should be getting some copies of the adapter out in the next month or so....

its covered ;), in the write up i have put in changing the bearing retainer plates over to the RT142 plates....these have the "spacer" stock ;)

Yes, i moved my shock mount tab in by 20mm and upwards by 10mm...you don't need to move it upwards.....i had other reasons to bring it up....

[dustyae86]

[federal]
