    Anybody know where to buy discs for my ES lol?

    Hia, im having some trouble locating some discs for my 90 ES13... or do i have to? I have two new discs, correct diameter, which are 4 stud, but the wrong offset(UKspec?). i also have a set of uk s13 calipers (slightly larger, [with hole in the middle]) what else would i need to convert to the slightly larger ones? maybe the hubs?
    all help appreciated, id love to get the car into the garage this week for an MOT!
    I LOVE

    Aah thats awesome Joesefer, thanks. i gotta say also, your car looks f-in sweet! very inspirational too.
    Im not really sure what im after, you see i have the standard calipers and hangers on the 4stud hubs, so presumably just the discs. the previous owner told me that you just cant get the originals anywhere anymore, and he was collecting parts to convert. heres one of each caliper off car and beneath is each on the car each side,


    rusty original caliper and disc


    Uk spec caliper? disc too small

    Just ask at your local factors for uk 200sx aged between 92 and 94 280mm discs

    Who told you the offset would be different lol

    i just tried the 280's and the pads are hard on the disc, before i have even fully tightened the caliper hanger. so back to drawing board.

    if you have another look at the photos, the caliper and disc combination i have currently on the car would only use half of the pad and cover only half the disc. so im not sure what parts i have here really now. im scratching my head looking at it all now. so i think im gonna do the 5 stud conversion and go for 14calipers. expensive but saves me mucking about trying to figure what i do and dont need. plus ive heard the 13 brakes are poo!

    you have the wrong caliper carrier, pretty sure thats the only other thing that would change where the caliper itself sits.
