Howsit.
Any of you zuk guys out there know how to increase the breaking on a sj410? im looking sort of at like brake boosters and such. ive adjusted and bleed the brakes best i could but my A15 datsun engine is just too powerful for the brakes. what you guys reckon? Any help appreciated.

you can fit a 413 booster but firewall mods are required.
however from memory a late 80's Swift ( Holden barina) booster will bolt in.

does it have disc breaks on the front , pretty easy mod of it doesent.then fit vitara vented rotors and calipers.
you can also upgrade the rear drums to 413 self adjusting type breaks, or go te whole hog and disc convert the rear.

Oh sorry mines got discs front and drums rear. sort of got a low budget for now so cant do discs in the rear atm. you know with the vitara calipers and rotors.. do they just bolt straight up? or you got to modify the mounting points? cheers.

vitara vented rotors and calipers jst bolt straight on.
LWB ones are what you want from memory

probably not applicable if your on a low budget but you can research VH40 and VH44 remote brake boosters to bring up the line pressure on your brakes, I dunno if you've already got a booster in your zook or not at the moment, I've got the standard booster on my cruiser master cylinder and a remote VH40 booster plumbed into the front brake circuit as well and it gets my old 2.5-3 ton flatdeck cruiser stopping like a late model commodore when you give it a bootfull of brakeing
