It's a great story with the owner having owned one as his first car in high school and buying one for his 50th birthday. https://zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/356-07.jpg I learned a few things about these 411s too, like the wild through-the-fender exhaust! The R16 is also blessed by our very own Tom (notoptoy) East Coast distributor on the hot-rod R16: https://zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_5165-1-rotated.jpg With dyno tuning it made 79hp/95tq to the wheels: https://zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Kevin-M-411-Final-91-octance.jpg https://zcarblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Datsun-RL411.jpg Enjoy! https://www.zcarblog.com/2020/07/03/performance/high-school-sweetheart-kevins-datsun-bluebird-sss.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Since it is an early car I assume it has a single master cylinder. Is the brake pedal solid or spongy? Does the pedal go to the floor? If you put the parking brake on & step on the brake pedal, is there much difference in the brake pedal height? What shape are the brake pads & rear shoes in? If the pads are worn down to the point where the metal pad backing is hitting the caliper mount it can keep the brakes from working properly. Same for the rear lining. If you have an area where there is an area of gravel where you can drive onto it, then hit the brakes, you may Be able to determine which wheel(s) is not breaking. Could be friction material, brake hoses, master cylinder, calipers or crud in the hard lines.

From the 311s.org TechWiki: "New rotors are approximately .433" thick with a minimum thickness of.413"." I don't recall if you said you replaced the front pads and when or not, or how thick they are, or whether they're soaked in brake fluid, etc., etc., etc. Have you removed the calipers to a) check the pads, and b) see if the pistons are frozen? When I removed my wheels to investigate my lack of braking power, I could easily tell my caliper pistons were frozen in the retracted position. I definitely had rear brakes only. How could I tell? Because the rotors had a nice, unmolested covering of rust instead of wear where the pads press against the rotors. Your rotors may not be so obvious, but you won't know until you check. Mine were also below minimum thickness; way below, like .389"!!!! Sometimes the calipers can be rebuilt easily by you. The seal kit (D1ABBM-73425) is about $50 from Nissan. If you cannot do them yourself, you can consider sending them to White Post Restorations in Virginia or Karp's Brake Service in California. Be aware that both vendors are backlogged and/or slow to respond due to Covid-19. You might also tell us where you're located. Perhaps another roadster owner is nearby to help and/or advise.

The good news was that their external bolt on design made it very easy and quick to change, four bolts, brake line and bridge tube and a bit of bleeding. Since they went for around $30 new, nobody bothered to rebuild. I also agree with John, with the right pads(I used Ferodo DS11 racing material, which would hardly work at all when cold!) they were very good brakes for the time, and worked well with the alfin drum rears(running Nissan 'green stuff' linings.
