Does anyone know where I can get a "conversion kit" to go from rear drum to disc? Or of a way to do it that's "safe"? I really want to change it from drum to disc, but I haven't been able to find a kit to change it and maybe someone else has come across one at some point.

 

get the rear disc strut ASSEMBLIES out of a junkyard and put in new cartridges
Easy swap eh?

 

yeah, the "conversion kit" is sold at your local bone yard. just look in the junked maxima aisle.

 

I have the entire rear disc set-up from a 93 SE. Struts are also available.

Let me know if you are interested.

 

One of my next projects for the car will be the rear disc conversion (fall 06?)
I was thinking about it the other day, and I am going to have to take apart the current assembly to fetch my konis and swap the eibachs, correct?

 

yup, should have converted when you were installing the koni's

 

woulda, coulda, shoulda...

 

DIDN'T!!!!!!

 

That's NOT what I wanted to hear. All of the junk yards around my area don't keep imports in their yards. They ship them off to the otherside of Indianapolis, so that's about a 2 hour drive just to go on a wild goose chase.

 

call around and find one that ships

I know my buds yard has one that will be available soon.

 

Any chance of a motor too? lol
I went to Nissan today to see about have the exhaust manifold studs changed and they want $1,700 to do it. I asked for $hits and giggles, but there was no giggle to it.

I originally planned on buying another motor, swaping them, and tearing the other one down and gradually building it how I want it.

 

it's got a motor in it, don't know if it's any good though
I'm trying to get the wheels and sunroof off of it

 

Damn $1,700? Nissan dealer around my house told me about $600 for all 6 and 40 bucks each that has to be drilled out.

 

Well, Friday I started calling Junk Yards in Indy. I got ahold of G.W. Pierce there and they said they would ship me a motor from there to New Castle, complete for $400. Granted, coming from a junk yard I know it probably won't be in running condition, so I will have to tear it down and build it how I want it instead of doing 2 swaps just to get what I want. But the good news is I have found one. Screw it, I'll take the time to re-do it, I've been driving with this car being loud for 7 months now. A few more isn't going to hurt me.

 

Ill sell you my parts car motor for less then that. but Im not sure how much shipping is. Id rather sell it to you then let the j/y have it when i give them my shell. PM me if your interested
