DatsunZman04 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone, I am searching for a simple answer and after 20 min on the FAQ I cant seem to find a clear answer to my question. I am running a 72 datsun 240z with standard brake rotors up front and calipers. My Rotors are warped bad and need to be replaced. Looking at several websites, blackdragonauto.com, motorsportauto.com. etc. There seems to be a differeance between the front rotors on a 240z and a 74 260z. What is the differance besides the 260 being slightly thicker? Are the hubs the same?? Can you bolt on a 260 rotor on a 240??? I do want to go ahead and bolt on the toyota calipers when I replace the rotors but I am not sure which ones to use. I am trying to keep this on the cheap, my car is just a daily driver and occasualy horseplay, thats about it. If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it. thanks Edited November 20, 2015 by DatsunZman04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The hubs and rotors have different offsets between 240s and 280s. You can swap them as a unit, but for factory setup, you must mate 240 hubs with 240 rotors, and the same with 280s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DatsunZman04 Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Figures that is what I was afraid of. Why does the 240 rotors cost so much more than the 280z? thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Think about how long 240s were in production vs the later 280s. More models produced = higher demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
