Thanks for the input Charles.
Do you think if making a new adapter plate it would be better to use the RA struts, so there are no problems with them bolting to the original steering knuckles?
I worked on this idea roughly...
Basically took the RA28 strut and original mounting plate (which is removable on the RA strut). Put a piece of wood (only to see how it will work of course!!) across the original mounting holes and bolted it up. Then added another 2 new holes to suit the Nissan caliper.
This basically sat the caliper in the same location as it does on the ST strut.
So then I added some shims between the piece of wood and the mounting holes on the strut. I moved the caliper out (towards the car, away from the wheel), as much as possible before running into problems with the rotor hitting the bolt heads holding the caliper mounting plate onto the strut leg etc.
This seemed to be good.. Brought the caliper a good distance in, which means more room for a rotor/hat... But, it still seemed that there would be no room for a rotor/hat over 28mm. That was using the ST hub.. The RA hub like you say gives bugger all room and in this conversion appears useless.
So just to sum that up as confusing to read!! The caliper away as far as possible so the rotor runs true through the center, but doesn't touch the strut/bolts/etc.
Still only 28mm from the hub rotor mounting face to the point on the caliper where the rotor would be.
This would work if I got a 2 piece rotor as they can make it so the hub doesn't protrude at all.
But, if wanting to stay with OEM rotors which is preferable... Would probably need to investigate another hub that gives even more room between rotor mount and strut.. Or, go for a rotor/hat that goes over the hub and mounts to the front wheel side of it.
Maybe that is the way to go. Would probably use the RA hub then as using the ST hub, with a rotor hat over it will add quite a bit of width to the track of the car.
If going for a rotor/hat over hub style, is there a more suitable hub for this application? Maybe one that fits inside the hat without machining?
After saying all that though.. More finer measurements need to be taken.. Charles idea possibly could work, but it does appear even moving the caliper back as far as possible still not enough room between hub and strut for a OEM rotor.
Cheers
Joel
Well there is a brain dump haha...
