Yeah they have similair if not the same caliper as Ceffy and s13.

I plan to chuck Z32 calipers on mine...

I know no one in Australia has probably attempted it but the Cima is heavy as and definately needs a brake upgrade.

I have seen GTR calipers on a set of Y31 cima front coilovers

do you reacon new rotors will be needed or is it possible to use the original rotors

Bump well the brake rotors are off and there a Hub style disc like the r31 but there 5 stud so this has chucked me right off knowing what would match it

there 260mm and the hub itself goes in stages.

so disc witdh is 24mm MIN then the hub is 31mm then there is a extra bit on the hub that is 19mm

Win.

Rear brake pads I believe are DB1144, had a look at my pads when they were out and also a look at a picture of them. they appear to be correct and are of the same era as the cefiro. Pads listed are for Nissan Cima (check your bendix cat's)

can confirm this tomorrow when they arrive.

100% Confirmed part number for New rear brake pads by Bendix. DB1144GCT.

WIN!

I'd assume the fronts follow the same fashion.

Likely listed in Bendix catalogues as Cima, same same as A31 Cefiro but I do beleive A31/C33 front is exactly the same as SR20DET ? (there is some arguement about this).

Regaring direct bolt ups, S13 calipers would bolt up directly anyway, as should any Nissan caliper, R33 GTST and Z32 being the favorites.

Otherwise just take the whole knuckle assembly with 5 stud hub off something else and do a big 5 stud brake upgrade.

-

Do these use the same rear cradle as A31/C33/R32, etc ?

Looks a tad weird to me...

no these use a r200 long nose, same as a hr31..

brakes are basicly r33 na brak, havent checked padsyet, they are not sr brakes, they use the same size rotor but with a larger 2 pot caliper. i have been playing since last post. i am just about to bolt s13 front hubs and shizz in with s13 coilovers. these brakes are actually a really good upgrade for stock sr rotors. and bolt straight on.

woo go me,

Hey E-Z,

I've got a cima Gloria same colour and req a front disc rotor and wondering on some sort of substitute without doing the whole coil over upgrade as my airbag suspension and all electrics are working fine and it's still 100% original including the crocheted cima embossed head rest covers.

Cheers Tony

so just found myself with another Y31 Cima

By the looks of it has been upgraded to the R33 NA rotors and brakes but I was looking at going for 4 pots as my spare Cima is now likely going to be used for the track.

also wanting to do a 4 stud conversion on my new road car to fit some old skool Rays 3 piece alloys I have.

So am attempting to fit some 180sx hubs today

Will hopefully post pics soon, but just wondering with upgrading to 4 pots will i need an adapter if I use the 300zx rotors

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
