Hey guys,
there has been a few topics on here over the last few years about if its possable to buy blank r31 skyline disks.
Reason being r31 diff housings fir straight into an LH which i have done, we used the r31 calipers that bolted straight onto the housing but theproblem lies in the disks. We use 28 spline commie axles and now i need some blank disks to drill to commodore stud pattern to get through engineers!
Has anyone got anywhere with finding blank rotors?

Only other thing i was thinking is making up a plate to bolt to r31 mount point and then mount commodore callipers in the right sopt to suit commodore disks but havent even started to look down this avenue yet!..

If you know anyone that has been down this road and might be able to help me out please help!

cheers
Ramma

Rory just drilled extra holes in the four stud discs, doesn't look overly pretty when you take the wheel off but at the end of the day they are centred by the spigot and retained by the clamping between the wheel and axle flange via the studs, doesn't really matter how big and sloppy the stud holes are

I agree however unfortunately in some states you are not allowed to drill another stud pattern in the disc.

That guys name is Tony, aka Mr Spare, aka UPC, look on ebay, make sure you understand what you are getting, or better still make sure he understands what you want.

Cheers.

Seconded.
Best to search and read about who you are dealing with before you part with your $$$. The trail of heartache and frustration is not something you want to jump into with a blindfold on. Anyone can sell brake parts but not everyone can sell you parts that fit. Be very careful.

Funny isnt it.
I went and saw him in person. We had a good chat and I left with bits that were what I needed and spot on machine shop work.
Cant complain.
Saw the diff housing and rear brakes for his race toy being put together. Nice piece of work.
Probably more impressive was the front end which was out of the car. Gigantic monoblock front brake set up plus a myriad of other mods. I was bold enough to ask what the front end owed him - about 11k in parts was the answer!

If you could keep us updated that would be fantastic

Would be chasing some R31 blank rears or rotors drilled to Torana pattern as well
