- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- The drift truck gets Z32 front brakes! This a HUGE performance improvement, and I feel much better knowing that I have a braking system that can actually slow the truck down in a safe and effective manner.

Wow I found this because of Facebook beebani posted about it. I thought it was a 620 but I see it’s a D21. So awesome!
Thanks! I am very pleased with everything from Jason.
@@Inner_Sanctum Drilled/Slotted Rotors
from which car the brake disc ????
I remember when I did drop spindles in my D21 and cleaned out all the nasty grease in the cavity. Bought plenty to fill it all back up, it was a lot. Great progress 👍
Thanks!
Awesome! I really like that you love what you are doing.
Killin me with the 4 min video... I love your stuff no matter.
Sorry man, there's not much to cover in this particular installation.
@@Inner_Sanctum its all good I was givin you crap
Love the build, your attention to detail is outstanding!
Thanks! I try to stay focused... even though it's tough at times.
They look great man keep grinding, I'm excited to see this truck assembled.
Will do! The paint dude said I can pick up all my parts the middle of next week, so it should be moving quickly after that.
Good video sir, they are like Christmas presents!
Lol
Maan ive been wanting to do all this on my d21! I have an 88 with a s14 ka-t swap. Love the content 👍
just bout to start this exact build. Fuckin thank you man.
Very nice
What’s the alternative for the beebani adapters
Is this kit still available? Do you have any details on it? Looks like a spacer?
so nice project 👌 t
Are the Disk brakes from beebani specific to front or rear brakes? Or can you order 4 and use them on all corners? Thanks
I have messaged you on Instagram. I am currently doing this swap on my truck but the pad sticks out slightly past the rotor. Does yours do that as well?
I missed the adapter
What is that adapter you used to get the rotors to fit the hub.
I see some more beebani junk. Those adapters he made that simply adapt one bolt circle to another should be fine. SO as long as the pad properly locates on the rotor. I bought 2 sets of his brackets for 620, and neither located the pad properly.
I’m not really sure how I want to respond to this comment. Calling something “junk” right out of the gate like that is a little misguided, and also makes it seem like I don’t know what I’m doing, but there’s some truth to what you’re saying. Plus, I understand your frustration.
These Z32 front calipers do not bolt to a bracket, they bolt directly to the front D21 spindles without modification. This may be different for your setup. I DID have an issue with these rotor adapters because the inner hat of the rotor was not clear of casting marks which didn’t allow me to bolt it up right. Once I took care of that, it was fine. Both rotors are properly located now.
As far as the rest of the Beebani stuff? I feel like his kits get you close, but the rest is kind of up to you. I was able to get everything I purchased from him to work for me. So, it’s definitely NOT “junk”.
However, would I do it this way again? Absolutely not. For the price I paid, this stuff shouldn’t get me close. It should be almost exact with VERY little, if any at all, modification to the parts themselves.
Every single part I purchased from Beebani required modification of some sort. In some cases it was quite extensive. Knowing what I know now… I would have just built my own setup entirely using s-chassis suspension and saved serious $$$ for a much superior setup.
In fact, that’s exactly what I did already on my other D21. So… 😎
@@Inner_Sanctum I don't think your truck is junk at all. It sounds like you found out the hard way that Jason's parts are. Irrelevant of my setup or yours, the caliper HAS to be located properly WRT the rotor. Even though the Z32 caliper bolts to the knuckle, the adapter could very well cause an alignment issue with the pads, if the concentricity wasn't correct.
What I was gettign at, was that out of all of Beebani's parts, this one should be the easiest for him to actually get right. All he would need to do is get the bolt circles correct in CAD, create a proper drawing with GTOL, and find a machinist who could deliver. Assuming that his material selection had the properties necessary to perform.
The issue with Beebani has always been that he is not an engineer. He can stick stuff together in his garage until it sort of fits. But in terms of actually engineering a part by understanding the forces involved with its use, the selection of materials, proper FEA testing and real world testing, he has never been able to deliver.
I experienced his parts way back in the day, before I was an engineer, and had nothing but issues. I wish I could show you how bad the pad misalignment was on my first set of brake brackets I got from him. Lol, when I got them out of the box, the newspaper he shipped them in was stuck to them because he put them in the box with wet paint.
I think the guy always had good intentions of providing a good product to the datsun/nissan scene. Unfortunately many people have been suckered into buying from him over the years.
@@Zukuri620 yeah, I have definitely heard the stories. My buddy Meco in Canada had some really serious issues with the stuff he had purchased from Jason. He was not nice about it either. Haha
I respect the hustle and willingness to make stuff, but you’re right. There’s just no replacing the scrutiny that comes with properly engineering a part, and these parts are just not in that category.
As it turns out, I’m actually slowly working on my engineering degree right now. I can say, without a doubt, there’s a lot more that goes into this stuff than people realize.
Have you mentioned what rear brake/brake master/proportioning valve setup you're going to run? Are you going to make new hard lines for everything? Also do you think it will be ready to drift Pike's Peak next year or are you shooting for 2022 to be safe?
I posted a video about the rear brakes already. Dual Z32 rears. A dedicated hydraulic e-brake plumbed separately.
For now I am going to run the Z32 BM57 master with Z32 vacuum booster, unless I just decide to do a pedal box right off the bat.
If I plumb everything like stock, I won't need to run a proportioning valve due to the way the Z32 master is designed. You have two dedicated ports for the front left and right wheels, and a single port that runs to the rear that you split equally.
I need to properly vet the truck before any major competition. It's going to be a learning curve for sure. It will need several shakedowns under its belt before I feel confident in it.
@@Inner_Sanctum you're right I remember you mentioning the brakes now .I was just thinking the stock z32 braking bias would be kinda wrong for the truck since the weight distribution is different. But I have no idea how that would effect handling.
Pedal box would be cool and keeping the brake fluid away from the turbo/downpipe would probably keep it cooler and brake performance more consistent under "spirited" driving.
wait they bolt up to the stock hub hole location?
Drilled/Slotted Rotors
from which car the brake disc ????
Do you know if z34 or gtr35r front and rear brakes will fit on a hardbody d21? If so, how much and what do I need to do?
Where did you buy your calipers ?
When is the next episode dropping?
Keep up the good work
Working on it in pieces right now. Just been really busy lately. Had to wait for the cab to get back from paint. Waiting on other parts too!
@@Inner_Sanctum will be waiting just found the series today and watch all of them. I want to see the hydro brake install already
New subscriber here...question, would this setup work on a Mazda b2200? I see the d21 spindle/hub assembly are very similar.
Great question. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure. I don't have a lot of experience with Mazda B series trucks. Hope to change that in the future, but for now, I'm no help.
I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to configure a decent Wilwood setup if you're after better stopping power. They make a wide array of caliper options that you could realistically adapt to your front knuckles.
Hi, what size rotors are those, just doing same sort of upgrade but to expensive to get the rotor kit down here in NZ, think I’ve found a cheap way to get some 300mm rotors on but not sure if they will be to big.
These are listed as 280mm rotors, but their actual measurement is 275mm.
What rotors are you using ? I've looked up and the z32 rotors have top hats not hub bolt on rotors .
These front rotors are from a 2002 Nissan Frontier V6 4x4.
Where can I get the adapters besides beebani ? Or what should I tell the machine shop so I can get them made?
You can whip them up in CAD real easy. They are pretty simple. Nobody else makes them.
@@Inner_Sanctum what’s a CAD?
@@jkingjdm8470 Computer Aided Design (CAD) like Solidworks, AutoCAD, or a any host of free CAD softwares out there. Once you design them, you can send your machine shop the CAD file for them to replicate the part.
Or, you can just measure and hand jam the dimensions, then give everything to your machinist with the rotors and hub that way they can make sure it all fits together.
Or, you can hand the rotor and hub to your machinist and tell them, "make this work" and pay accordingly.
Or, you can buy the adapters from Beebani.
Is there a Instagram to follow for this beautiful build 🔥
Thanks! Yeah, it's: @nr_sanctum
Awesome brotha , thanks for the quick reply ! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey brother I have question I trying swap my brake system for my 91 HB Nissan but I can finding the place to get the same set up that you have is possible can you share with me where you got your parts I’m by thank you for let me know thanks brother 👍🏻
Jason (Beebani Customs) might not be making the adapters anymore.
However, my friend Chris and I are still working on a different solution. We've just been crazy busy lately.
Thanks brother for you time to read my message let me know if you have any info
I like you setup for you lil one
D21 master or z32 ?
I have a Z32 BM57 and Z32 booster, but I might be running a Tilton or Wilwood pedal box instead and use Wilwoods masters.
Do you think you could fit a 15in wheel?
Depends...
1. The Z32 caliper face barely sticks out beyond the hub face, so offset will not be an issue, but is still important for overall caliper fitment inside the barrel of the wheel.
2. The Z32 caliper's outer most point is ~6" from the center of the hub, so if the inside barrel of the wheel [the area that will be over the caliper] is greater than 12" (diameter), you are good to go.
Что за тормозные диски ты использовал?
StopTech Street brake pads
@@Inner_Sanctum disk ?
Where are the calipers from
These are Z32 calipers. They come off of a 1990-1996 USDM Nissan 300zx or a 1989-2000 JDM Nissan Fairlady Z.
There are 30mm iron ones and there are 26mm and 30mm aluminum ones. I have the 30mm aluminum ones. The 26mm aluminum calipers only came on the 1990 NA models.
can you clear 15" wheels?
As a matter of fact, I just tried a set of 15" steelies the other day. They were Trail Master TM5 15x8 +0 offset and they cleared no problem.
The hub face already sits out beyond the caliper so that spacing isn't an issue. The 0 offset allowed the caliper to sit in the outer barrel section of the wheel. It's close, but there's room.
Just think about where they place the weights when balancing the wheel.
What are the part numbers?
I'll find them tonight and update the description.
@@Inner_Sanctum Thanks
I have messaged you on Instagram. I am currently doing this swap on my truck but the pad sticks out slightly past the rotor. Does yours do that as well?
Where did you order the rotors from ?
These rotors were included with the adapters Jason at Beebani sent. You have to run the adapter to run these rotors.
How can o order the same set up I’ve been looking around or “googling “ and I always get the same places . Can you point me to the right direction
@@ralphocanas3519 you'll need to get on Instagram and search for Beebani Customs. His name is Jason Pope, he can get you sorted on parts.
@@Inner_Sanctum From which car rotor ???
@@TheBladelw 2002 V6 4WD Frontier, you need the adapters though...
