loy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Just talked to Gabriel, they will come in a later package when they get them from their supplier.

Miles Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Has anyone looked at front - rear brake balance using this caliper with e.g., stock front brakes, Toyota vented/solid front brakes, ArizonaZ front brakes etc.? It would be interesting to look at doing some brake bias calculations using different brake combinations. Is this a better rear disk swap then a 240SX which hooks up directly to the stock parking brake cable?

thezguy Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Actually the e-brake cable is an extra cost option that you have to request if you want it. Anyway, that's the way I read the website info on it. The calipers don't work with the stock e-brake cable. When you select the added Ebrake option the cable comes with it.

ra240z Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Very happy with these rear brake, now just waiting for the e-brake cable to arrives. Edited April 4, 2015 by ra240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 That's nice that yours went well. I went to go install mine today but the bracket doesn't seem to be right. The rotor touches the bracket. I am pretty sure I have mount installed correctly with the logo facing outward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ra240z Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Contact Gabriel, he will fix it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah he said they will send some new brackets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Got the new brackets and everything fits. They (brake calipers with parking brake) even fit my konig rewinds 15". The sticky wheel weights I have on wheel were to thick and caught the parking brake mechanism. Have to get the wheels rebalanced with either slimmer weights or conventional weights.

Miles Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 loy Can you post some pictures of the calipers, bracket and parking brake connection. Also, the caliper fitment inside the wheel. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7d82adz Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I too would love to see more pictures.. Im about to spend alot on parts for my bone stock 71. Seeing that my stock rear wheel cylinders are gone and cost a fortune to replace Im just going to get the wilwood setup all around. Any idea if this kit front and back will accept the 15'' turbo swastikas? They are the only 15 inch wheels I have for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) http://imgur.com/OWTHpOt http://imgur.com/s24wrNG I don't have the cable yet so the pictures should look like ra240z. I will have to take more pictures when I have the time. Probably sometime next week. I have other pictures in my post of the bracket.

Phantom Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Anyone have any driving time on this kit yet? I have the 300ZX/240SX rear set-up now and find it a bit weak. If you have them do you also have an adjustable proportioning valve? If so or if not how is the balance front to rear? Ebrake work fine? My front Willwood rotors are just about toast after about 30,000 miles. Bake pads were too aggressive so they are doing great but the rotor is almost gone. Not the way you want to do it. I'm seriously considering redoing the back with the TTT kit when I go in to replace pads and rotors on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Currently no adjustable proportional valve. Have s12+8 with vented rotors up front. E brake doesn't work yet since there is no cable yet... Balance feels pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's about mid year, has anyone received/tried the parking brake cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam280Z Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm waiting for mine. On June 9th, Gabriel told me that they were 3-4 weeks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
