Oh thats i right, i totaly forgot that, i guess my english sucks a little :D .
I have heard of the m3 disk convos for s13, but if I remember it right, that was the front only, my big problem is the back, thou id like to change all of the rotors. Also dont you have to move the caliper further away when using the m3 rotors?

Also what about the EBC pads. A few people have been telling me that theyr latest products have some quality issues.

I didn't notice your from Lithuania lol. Would have tried being more polite about it :)

Not sure about rear disks but something similar could be done on the cheap I would think.

The bracket you're talking about is just a flat metal section to increase to make allowance for the different offset of the new disk (m3) and the increased diameter. Something you or a metal worker could make very easily as long as you have the correct dimensions :)

Well mine are fine for fast road work on a stock S12 (using red stuff pads). Thats all I can say as thats all I know.

If you wanting to use them for competition I would personally approach a manufacturer direct and ask what competition discounts you get for running sponsorship on your car.

How much were the red stuff you got for yours mate ???

£40 for the red stuff pads with the discs, might be cheaper elsewhere but much less hassle.

very unlikely to work, s12 discs sit inboard of the hub. I think z31 discs are 296mm (have to check though) if they are r33 gts calipers would be ideal to go with them. now stop giving me ideas

What pads do you have?

Danny... GET CHECKING!!! (oh and p.s. what size wheel minimum would you need to fit 296mm into? [obviously we are not sure about caliper size as of yet]).

Don't know about the pads. Anyone else know?

knew i'd seen 296mm discs somewhere

You can just have the discs drilled to attach to the hub from the rear. Someone with a datsun with s12 legs tried it with Z32 discs and the caliper was correctly spaced as well.
