Rob is a "Do it once and do it right" as a fabrication engineer I remember he was going to rebuild his diff so the 5th gear whine would not be there, he re kitted my carbies for me when I was living down his way befor I moved to Qld he also put me onto HydroBlast in George St Sandringham who are into metal component restoration and these 70's Carbies came up like new Lynton 8)

I have known the robco guys from years ago when they used to be across the road to my work in dandenong, 8 years ago, he was good back then, he built a flywheel for a Aston Martin DB6 manual cinversion that I was helping a mate with, it fitted perfectly starter engaged properly, and a 4 piston conversion for a BMW I had back then, and ofcourse all fitted perfect, yes you could talk for a long time with him but that's part of the fun of owning and working on cars

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd ad my input.

If your going to purchase the adaptor plates for the S1 280zx rear disk conversion.
Please bring along your caliper and check if the holes line up.

My S1 280zx calipers had about 0.5mm off on both bolts in comparison to the bracket.

Apparently there is a slight difference in bolt configurations for varying S1 280zx calipers.
