Hey,

Ive got a quick couple of questions for the tech guys here regarding DR30 front brakes.

I know that DR30 struts have 100mm caliper spacing, resulting in a nissan 4 spot caliper being used, but the hub assembly isnt like hr31 (similar to s14,s14 etc) where the disk just slides onto the wheel studs, bolt caliper back on and bobs your uncle.

DR30 is datsun style (hub bolts to disk)

How do I go about fitting or modifying the DR30 hub to accept a S series silvia disk?

Please dont say "put s13 front coilkovers and bits in" as its out of the question (dr30 struts are going into a stanza)

Now the next question, anyone fit 14" wheels over dr30 front brakes?

Cheers,

Take the disc off the back of the hub (unbolt) and machine down the diameter of the hub to suit, so that the disc hat slides over the top.

The hubs are forged steel, not cast and machine very well.

Guys!

It's all to do with the OD of the disc rotor vs space in the back of the wheel.

Your wheels need to clear the caliper, simple as that and 274mm dia DR30 rotors wont allow 14's to go on.

The stock fronts are only 250 so 14 is easy then.

Cheers, D

Stock fronts?

As in just plain mr30 strut/brake combo?

Its more the caliper size that kills the fun, I have a similar sized disk on my 1600 struts, using a bmw 4 spot.

Picked up some n/a r32 front brakes yesterday( yay 14" wheels! ) soon as the disks are back from being machined ill send the hubs off to get them modded.

Also going to do a coilover convo on em using threaded colar, will throw up some tutorial style pics as I progress.

Cheers,

Dan

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
