Brake Caliper Hanger Otc Set

BASICALLY A NICE SEDAN FOR IT'S DAY. Anyone care to elaborate on this info? LanceM03-24-2004, 11:26 AM79-81 280ZX MC is the one I used, the one from 82-83 dosen't look like it wil bolt right up, I might be wrong as I'm just looking at pics in the VB catalog. Rember I am only trying to catalog this conversion. frank1305-08-2004, 03:37 PMOk guy's so it looks like LanceM has tried the '81's ecp48 adds that they will work, if all the parts are from the same time. I checked Pepboys and Advance, as well, Autozone was best on the Toyota 4Runner Calipers (vented Rotor) as well, 39.

From your shortcuts I noticed you had to grind on the caliper. thrifty engineering I suppose! ChrisA03-23-2004, 06:56 AMWhat rotors did you guys use? Have to use any spacers or other mods? Or is it all bolt on. The turbo units have a larger offset and will not work for this upgrade. Now that I think about it, and it's been more than two years ago and I'm over 50, I recall going through the exercise of trying the wrong rotors from an 81ZX.
The want to use the one with the least amount of offset. These pads are rotor friendly and claim to last up to four times longer than standard issue pads. The ZX rear calipers on the other hand incorporate some funny looking stamped out pieces that just look cheap IMO.
Further, while the late style brackets use the calipers from an 82-83 ZX, I have never seen a removable bracket on a 1983 or 84 Maxima, and I've looked! (four of them last week, all welded) Be prepared to adjust. I've reread this thread and now I will list the parts, models, years. The early caliper had problems with the emergency brake connection (from memory). ChrisA03-23-2004, 10:43 AMThanks Lance, I'm off to the salvage yard this weekend LanceM03-23-2004, 11:31 AMGrab all of the mounting bolts when you go, you'll need the ones that go with the new calipers! ChrisA03-23-2004, 11:55 AMHey Lance, one more question.

There was some skuttlebuut about the 280ZX and the Sx calipers being the same. Which appear to by very rare in bolt on form in the breaker yards.
The brackets are also found on an 82-85 R30 Skyline The guy even put me onto a wrecker on Brisbane where I should be able to get a set from. I was hoping to avoid that, anybody know if the MSA Racer 17"x7" wheels will fit this package without interference. I also believe there is a difference in the original brake hose (280ZX vs.

I originally thought you used the 300ZX rear rotors, but have since found that to be untrue. Basically one has more offset than the other. this needs better confirmation as to whether both the Maxima & 280ZX Rotors will bolt right up.
They originally came on the Maxima with a caliper which "looks" just like the 280ZX caliper. com and the emergency brake connection. kind of a factory installed look! LanceM05-06-2004, 07:30 AMFrank13, Rear calipers and rotors from an 81 zx Will business failure rate small Not Work! The caliper is an oddball and the rotors have the wrong offset and will not bolt on, they hit the bracket.

frank1305-05-2004, 08:50 PMJUST LIKE A STANZA.
They are 1/2" thick steel held on by large bolts so 3 should be enough. LanceM03-23-2004, 12:34 PMGuess it depends :) They are a 4 bolt bracket, so if you are taking them beauty port salon townsend wa off of a car, yes you will.

I believe that in Australia it was the 910 series Bluebird in the early 80s. they are $72 each and they can have them in 2-3 days.
I bought bothe the 300ZX front ventilated and rear solid rotors. I am told that any of the late 280ZX rotors, 81 to 83 will work. But this variant is just that much more different than the rest that have been done. 83 ZXT calipers and 83 ZX rotors on the rear, 81 280ZX front calipers with 84 300ZX vented front rotors turned down. They work great and shead minimal brake dust, if any.

Also, be aware that the majority of these cars have welded on brackets. Lance, I'm assuming you've done this mod! If so, did you use a proportioning valve with your Z.

(':stupid:') The following is currently available on ebay. TomoHawk03-25-2004, 03:41 new era with filipino flag hat AMThe grinding was when using 14 inch rims.
I verified that the calipers were 240SX by matching the casting numbers! LanceM05-05-2004, 02:55 PMepc, Just want to clairify, rear calipers and rotors from an 81 will not work, 82-83 will. In the back listings/strings on this site, HybridZ and IZCC there are a number of articles which highight the difference.
I am presently experimenting with cutting the welds, just to see if it will work.

frank1305-05-2004, 05:18 PMLanceM, ecp48, 240ZX, guys how does this look? Anything need to be added or changed from your guys experience? I find this set up much more intresting than buying one over the counter.

So far, I am a believer! LanceM03-23-2004, 10:32 AMFor my conversion I used 300zx front rotors turned down about. The calipers were a little too big. I will also need to get the drums off. So should be easy to swap brackets from one to the other.

I have lined up the caliper/bracket and maxima/280zx rotors and they appear to work. This is for the Maxima brackets w/Maxima or 280ZX Rotors. . The difference between the 240SX and late 280ZX calipers appear to be a different angle for the bracket which mounts the emergency brake cable. The 81ZX rear calipers have smaller pads, and have an odd hanger that I think would make them hard to use in a conversion, they are very large overall, even though they are a smaller caliper. I didn't want to go through pulling the stub axles so I did the rug market america it that way. although they work just as well as the ZXT units. 2) 1982-1983 Rotors from the Maxima or 280ZX. The difference is identifiable by the backing plate, floating or not. Here's a few links on rear calipers for you to browse: Hope it helps.
. com aftermarket (fabricated brackets), unfortunately. I got the best prices on the rotors at rockauto. petemca05-06-2004, 07:03 PMIs that model skyline an import? Was about to also do a trip to Nissan to find the maxima bracket! you saved me a trip! mperdue05-06-2004, 07:05 PMdon't jump all over me if this has already been posted! speedyblue05-06-2004, 10:08 PMIt should be a standard Aus spec model. Preferably the cut-away version so I don't have to remove everything. If so then we would be able to use the bindders and rotors from and early 1979-80/81 280ZX(T) or Maxima on the 240Z. How is that for customer service. Used rotors within spec make sense, the mastercylinder is questionable.
2" in diameter with 81 zx front calipers, a spacer was needed between the caliper and english language phrase spanish the mount to center it over the short history of ireland rotor. Seems from the post that both ZXT and ZX Binders will do the 4)1979-1981 280ZX 15/16's M/C. e_racer199907-20-2004, 10:06 AMz creations has this link: and i have a link to this guy that has an actual size blueprint (for those of you that have access to a machine shop: and as for the fact that someone got them from the dealer: i thought they were no longer available anyway, hope this 411 helps someone, i have been compiling info for myself to prepare for my conversion. I used the valve and MC from an 81ZX, I never tried the 240 valve, I had an 81 parts car that donated a lot of the items. 240ZX03-24-2004, 11:10 AMI agree Lance, with a little rerouting the e-brake hooks up fine. From my searches in the junkyards, it would appear that the bolt on brackets were only on the 80 to sometime in early 81 RWD Maximas. As for the brake hose the SX has a hollow banjo bolt setup. unless one of members can help us out here. 82-83 will work, turbo calipers prefered as they have a slightly larger piston. The latter of the two, the 280ZXT calipers, are the prefereable units IMO and from the info coming in, they are just like the 240SX units with the exception of the e-brake cable attach points. Whole conversion cost me around $250 plus what I took off of the 81 parts car. But not early and late together. LanceM03-23-2004, 06:03 AMJust put a set on my 240, $52 each at the dealer. I purchased the 240SX calipers with the brackets. Frank :devious: frank1305-05-2004, 05:04 PMSo far from this post we have the following parts list: 1) 1981-1984 Maxima {RWD} rear disc Caliper mounting brackets.
So new from the dealer is an option. flex hoses on all four corners and basic cover fax sheet I recommend the AXXIS Metal Master pads (manf'd in Australia) as well. Not real trick but very flexable if indeed the SX calipers can be use as well.
Mr Camouflage06-28-2004, 04:05 AMThe 82-85 GT R30 had rear disc's i'm pretty sure.
Nissan P/T 4415504S10 Adapter C (2 required). One practical reasons to use the ZX calipers, front/rear, and 15/16" master cylinder, is that no proportioning valve is required, to have a well balanced street set-up.

The only thing I will elaborate on is the 280ZX and 280ZXT calipers.
sblake0105-06-2004, 03:32 AMOriginally arizona baptist convention southern posted by Mr Camouflage Whats a 1980 Maxima look like? We didn't get a maxima down under till lthe 1990's. My original misconception was that the larger rotor from the 84-85 300ZX (4 lug) would work, but they are much to big and only work with the Ross Corrigan (Modern Motorsports) or fonebooth.
