Thanks for this info. Any possibility that the stock parking brake cable will work with TTT caliper.

Please include which year Z you are asking about and what mods have been done. For a 71 240Z see post #8 for picture: http://www.classiczcars.com/topic/45901-early-1971-240z-and-rheostat/

When I was searching for a 78 280Z booster for my 240Z I discovered that there was a company in my hometown that rebuilds boosters and master cylinders for a variety of companies. I bought a booster from a local Nissan only wrecking yard and had the booster repair company rebuild it for $125. Check your surrounding communities for companies that rebuild boosters.

Google: "280zx eibach springs" etc etc etc

Post some pictures of the hinges,and torsion bars, hood release and hood in the open and closed position (side and front angles). In the meantime don't grind or force anything.

Have you tried MSA yet? http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/classic21a15

For the Maxima calipers you should be able to find SS lines with a 10mm banjo on one end and a 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare end that connects to the hard line on the body. MSA sells a Maxima kit that uses SS lines with banjo fittings. Call MSA and ask if they sell the lines for the Maxima kit. Or you can use -3 adaptors on both ends. For the front you will need a -3 to 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare adaptor on the caliper and a SS line that has a 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare end to connect to the hard line on the body or you can use a -3 to 10mm x 1.0 inverted flare adaptor for the hard line connection. Recommend that you research this brake swap before ripping your brake system apart. This brake combination is not balanced and you will need to install either a 15/16 or 1 inch master cylinder for adequate fluid volume. The Maxima calipers are not well mached to the Toyota calipers resulting in too much front bias (search). Many people regret this swap. This has been documented extensively in the brake section and FAQs. Suggest that you rebuild the stock brakes, install SS lines and keep the brakes maintained.

You don't need a hose shop. You can get all of the fittings from Summit, Jegs, Russell, Earles or you local speed shop. You will need to plan and measure for the hose length and be sure to verify that the hose clears all components and does not rub on anything by moving the suspension up and down.

Should caliper type/brand/model number be added to the list? I know it made a difference with my Toyota front calipers. The 15" wheels I had at the time I installed the Toyota calipers fit without any clearence problems, but when I installed a set of 15" Ansen slotted mag wheels the mounting surface of the wheel rubbed on the caliper body. A 1/8" spacer fixed the problem.

Too many variables to consider and too much time to keep a spread sheet updated. How about a tutorial on how to measure for wheel and tire fitment including special tools required for checking spring/strut clearences? The tutorial could be posted in the FAQ section.

Good assumption. My first 240Z had many 280Z parts installed by previous owners. PITA.

Do not grind anything. Figure out why it is not fitting: step by step. If you have the correct rotor and calipers they just bolt on. Hundreds of these have been done. Are your hubs installed correctly? Is the inner bearing grease seal seated? Is the hub seated on the axle? Keep searching. This issue has come up before.

Went with Firefox. Sites that used to hang up with IE load fast and are trouble free. No more IE service pacs etc to deal with. Thanks for the advice.

After having bad experiences with several parts store calipers I now only use Nugeon brand parts. Napa carries them. Excellent quality control. http://www.nugeon.com/index.html

Trust, but verify.

Assuming that you have 79 - 85 Toyota 4x4 pickup calipers and the correct rotors and hubs there should be no problem with fitment. Check the links below for more information: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/toyotabrakeupgrade/index.html http://www.zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/Calipers/toyotaCalipers.html http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/88822-70-240z-vs-240z-280z-brake-calipers-and-hubs-4-piston-toyota-caliper-issue/ Note that the Toyota caliper was not designed to accept banjo brake line fittings and may leak. Use a -3AN line and a 10mm x 1.0 to -3AN line adaptor as shown in the attached picture.

Looks like Chrome is the way I'll go. Any problems with censoring searches or privacy with Chrome? Thank you all for the input.

I am looking for a reliable replacement for Internet Explorer: Firefox or Google Chrome? Other?
