MrFancypants Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 What cable is that as it's different than a 240z cable? Cameron I have a 260 -- assumed the rear brake cables were the same as a 240. My cables are the stock ones that used to be connected to the stock rear drums. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFancypants Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 By the way, what's the part number for that bracket there that holds the cable? Don't know; they came with my fully loaded reman calipers. Should be in the FAST system. - Greg - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed260Z Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I redid my system yesterday, and it seems to be working just fine now. I don't know if it was a good idea or not, but I removed the spring at the end of the cable. The spring is about an inch long fully compressed, and that was about how much more travel I needed to activate the E-Brake. Now I only have a slight bit of pre-load on the caliper.

The brackets that I got were black, and straight with a section at the end for the cable to go in, though the 240Z cable doesn't fit it properly and comes out from time to time. When I got my new calipers, I got ones to fit a 1989 240SZ. Which year of 240SZ calipers did you get? Perhaps the brackets are different from year to year..... I need one new bracket for the passenger side since the one that was in there fell out. It would help to know which year to go looking for at a wrecking yard to find that particular one that you have there. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your tight on one side and loose on the other that may be your problem. The Z e-brake is one cable that connects at each end of your caliper, and a bracket in the middle that pulls both sides equally. As far as what bracket to get, I don't know. I'm using a conversion kit from MSA(reasonably priced). However I sourced my own 240SX S13 rear calipers @ $120 a piece loaded. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PBC12/24-5581 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been checking the wrecking yards, but those 240sz's aren't in there very often. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmanout84 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 You might want to contact Modern Motorsports to see if they will sell you just the brackets. I dunno, when I ordered my kit they weren't offering the calipers, and they specifically stated to get a set of calipers "with hangers". Since I didn't know wtf "hangers" were, I just ordered the most complete remanufactured examples I could get (no good JYs around here for pick-n-pull). They didn't come with the brackets, though by the time I got the kit and installed it I had completely forgotten about them. Just order them from Nissan at your local dealership's parts counter. Should be 44195-35F00 GUIDE-ADJU or 44196-35F00 GUIDE-ADJU. Securing bolts (one for each bracket) are 44252-01P04 BRACKET. Sorry, I can't remember which is right and which is left, I took the brackets out to inspect them at the counter and didn't remember which was which, just installed them (good thing they're marked L and R). Each bracket is around $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize this thread is now 8 years old, but this information right here solved a problem I've been chasing for months so I am bumping it so google analytics pick it back up. I too did a 240sx rear brake swap, but bought calipers from a parts store, and they didn't come fully loaded with these cable stays/guides. I've been trying to fit a parking brake cable to my car while missing a piece, driving myself insane. Edited July 12, 2017 by Benz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
