Did not come with the $5 conversion fitting needed for this install. Now the whole project is at a standstill for one simple fitting. Its not about the price its about finding the correct fitting elsewhere or having to deal with back and forth parts if not the right fit.
Great item, fits like a glove and heavy duty. Edan really helped me get the right size and right fit for my s13
Excellent kit. A couple of videos for reference and everything fit well. I had to go up to a 16in wheel to clear the caliper but that was expected. Wheel fitment is still a concern, wish Silvermine would provide a few successful recipes for hub centric adapters, or perhaps some known rim combos that work well. The kit itself is high quality.
Good part. The mounting brackets required a little trim to sit flush, but expected with the age of the car.
These adapters are great but will need to be properly aligned with the hub stubs before welding. You’ll also want to get the mounting face machined after welding, THEY WILL WARP! Here’s a link describing the process. I sent mine to him for the service https://youtu.be/2vsdkkPaYOI
I purchased this kit for installation in the spring. The kit looks very well thought out and complete. Edan is a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. I look forward to installing this brake kit.
Was able to answer my questions and fix my order that i ordered wrong. Thanks and the kit looks great!
Allowed me to run d21 brake calipers and pads
I would of loved if a hardware kit was available such as the mounting hardware m12-1.25 x35mm with out buying the entire kit
That allows the d21 caliper to mount onto the brackets .
The brackets are a nice quality piece that I would buy again in the future if needed
Datsun 510 front Wilwood brake upgrade kit fits sedan and wagon models - smaller 10 inch rotors - fits 14 inch wheels easy
Many slip-on 4x114.3 wheel spacers are available w/66-68mm ID, but Silvermine's have the 73mm ID you need for Datsun S30 rear hub clearance.
Have Silvermine's Dynalite S30 big brake kit with dual caliper rear for cable handbrake. 16" Panasports clear this kit no problem. But needed these spacers in rear for the Z Car Garage Panasport 15" spare tire kit. 15" spare is narrower and just contacts on face of Silvermine Dynalite calipers. (Cable ebrake clears just fine). Tucked down by spare when needed. Great solution if you found Z Car Garage as a solution for spare to fit BBK.
Thanks Edan!
Bought these caliper brackets to use with 326 Power big brake kit. Had to design and machine new adapter brackets for calipers. Required some clearancing on knuckle. Very high quality part. Should do the trick! 95Zenki240#
I currently have one in my Sons 280Z that’s a 390
This new one will go in our other 354 for long track.
We have had no issues at all with our first one, that’s we bought another.
Pretty sure it’s one of the best.
Most other units wouldn’t be able to handle the abuse we give it!!
Absolutely recommend!!
Kick Ass
This is the perfect budget big brake kit. Edan was super helpful across the board and very responsive. Not necessarily the 2 hour job advertised, but it works great and isn’t too big of a job to do at home. Definitely recommend if you need to upgrade stopping on your e30.
Attention to quality is evident when you open the shipping box. My order was backordered. So l asked Edan for the 510 coilover kit as a substitute and received that kit first before the 240 kit came back into stock. They both where shipped promptly and am very happy with the quality and attention received. DC
I have a set of 16x7 Konig Rewind wheels that I am putting on my Datsun 280Z. The front wheels would not fit quite right over the hubs, this solves the problem perfectly, spacing the wheel off the hub just enough for the wheel to fit flat on it.
Great looking and hopefully great performing brakes, BUT be aware they may not fit with all original roadster wheels. I'm having to go to a 15 or 16 inch wheel in order for the calipers to fit within the wheel.
was for a while on backorder, but I got notice they have it back in warehouse and after I have agreed was shipped immediately. Got it to Europe in 5 working days. Item was in good shape.
My wife's '76 Z was a bear to drive. The steering was terrible. I installed the unit today and it is just unbelievable how well the unit works. Delivery was 4 days from ordering. There were no instructions with it. Watched a video on this website to figure out the wiring.
I have a 1984 318i and it has two lines for front. So the claim no mods necessary is false. Disappointed so I ordered the correct one from autozone as I don't feel like finding a t and making a short hardline as this is not an M3
why dont you just cap off 1 of the front outputs? then you dont need a t fitting and extra hardline.
