There has been talk of using Series 1/2 RX7 rear discs on a KE20. Apparently the RX7 disc hat just slips on over the axle flange and is held on by the wheel.

Terry Trewern welded a KE30 caliper backing plate onto the diff housing and used KE30 calipers. I think you could use RX7 calipers and modify the disc mount so it bolts up to the diff (or just make your own caliper mount from steel plate). From what I'm told, these RX7s had cable handbrake as well, so it should be pretty easy to get passed engineering (hydraulic handbrakes are illegal).

Guys on the internet always seem to use Pintara discs and calipers on the back of Datsuns, this might be worth looking into.
