Rob, i'll see if i can make you just one pair of brackets. they probably will cost more. i'll let you know. 1. QWIKZ (Rob) 2.POTENTIAL- abes 3. josh280z - in the future 4.aarang 5.blue destiny in January 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

so who wants one? 1. QWIKZ (Rob) 2.POTENTIAL- abes 3. josh280z - in the future 4.aarang 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. i'm willing to sell the kit minus any parts you like. the kit would cost $485 without calipers and pads.

the kit will come with all the parts needed to complete installation. you will not need any other parts at all. your stock master cylinder will work perfectly with this kit. the kit comes with: 11.2" drilled and slotted zink platted front rotors 4-pot 43mm calipers Adapter brackets (high quality) Stainless steel brake flex lines All hardware Front brake pads custom t6061 aluminum spacers (they won't change your geometry) price of the kit is $655 plus shipping. this is a front brake kit. not rear So who wants one?? 1. QWIKZ (Rob) 2.POTENTIAL- abes 3. josh280z - in the future 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

same specs except it's 60 pounds. i used usps. either way i need to make 20 brackets minimum. that's 10 kit's. i need to sell at least 3 right now if i'm going to put down $2000 for the brackets. it's to much of a risk if i don't. i hope you understand.

if you are not interested in the kit let me know why.

to Canada it would cost $175 but if you drive to Rochester New York and pick up the package it's only $70 i will not produce the kit unless we get a few people who want to order it now. it's to much of a financial risk for me. so let me know if you guys are interested! or else this kit will never be available.

depends on where you live.

OK guys the 280zx brake kit is completely done. the bracket has been made and it is ready to be produced. i'm proud to say that the bracket came out way above my expectations. it is truly a work or art. i decided to have it CNC machined out of 1018 cold rolled steel with zink platting to prevent rust. this bracket is indestructible, and will definitely outlast any car it goes on. price of the kit is going to be $655 complete. you won't need to buy any other parts to complete installation. i have to put the order in to produce the brackets. if you are interested in this kit let me know NOW. even if you'r not ready right now, but will be in the future.

yeah things should start to move a bit faster now that all the hand work is done. now it's just computer work and testing.

i dont think the s12-8 caliper is small enough to make it proportional with 280zx rear caliper. think about it. a 280zx rear caliper is made to be pr optional with a 280zx front caliper (WHICH IS A SINGLE PISTON CALIPER!! NOT 4 PISTON s12-8 CALIPER) why don't you consider getting better rear brakes instead of getting smaller fronts?

I've had the 240sx rear brake setup and a s12w caliper on the front. the proportionality was not good! the front was way stronger than the rear brakes. don't get drilled rotors either, they will crack sooner. brake ducting can help lower the temp down there if done correctly. look up the correct way to do it so you can get a good idea before you start. also wilwood kits don't have an e-brake , so take that into consideration.

I once had the same problem with warped rotors.the cause was my front wheel bearing making the wheel turn uneven when i pressed the brake pedal. so might check your wheel bearings.

go to ebay, they sell brake rotors really cheap.

ok today i made some good progress drawing the cad file for the first prototype bracket. i'm hoping to be done in about a week and half. then i can start to have an idea of how much the bracket would cost, and i could also make 1 bracket for a test fit. i'm sure i will have to go back and make adjustments until i get a perfect fit.

no it wont fizzle out. ive put to much work into it so far. it will be done eventually. i'll keep updating you guys.

truthfully I've been working a lot more than average lately, so i haven't had to much time. all i need to do is draw the bracket in cad so the cnc shop can make a prototype. once that happens i will probably need to adjust a few things and then mass produce it. things are slow because of my work right now, but don't worry, i think about it everyday!

i have the bracket made but i have to make another since the bolt holes were a bit off. i've been pretty busy at my regular job lately.

hey guys, i'm back from vacation. anyway i have great news!i was working on the kit doing more research and i found a pad with even more surface area than the stock pads from this Toyota caliper. so i will be using this pad in the kit. it's off a 300zxtt so now i have to make a prototype of the bracket and then make the bracket cad file. then i can cnc the first trial brackets and make adjustments until i have the finished design. i'll keep you guys posted.

The second option rotor i wanted to try did not work so i will be going with the first option. same one in the picture. the next step is making the bracket prototype. i will be going on a 4 week vacation so this won't be done until after June 13th. at this time i wont be taking orders since i don't have a final price. once the bracket made and i have a price i will take pre orders. this won't be until June 13th.

yes off course. all the parts will be available sold separately.

your right i forgot about that caliper. it might also work.

s12+8 calipers are made for a solid rotor, so they would not work. the s13b might work if you want even more power, but you would need more wheel clearance with those calipers. i might try to fit one of them once the kit is made. i'll let you guys know what happens.

well i have nothing to hide. and i really did want your input since there aren't to many 280zx owners. i want to make a kit that the majority would approve of. thank you for your input guys!

yes i'm designing this kit with a s12w caliper. CURRENT UPDATE the bolt pattern has been re drilled in slide over hub rotor option that i want to try. i should have a chance to do a mock up in the next day or two. at that time i will pick which rotor i want to use for the kit and then i'll start making the bracket.

well i'm still going to try to find a rotor that will slide over the hub instead of in back. i'm doing this because i want to try to eliminate the use of the spacers which will lower the cost of the kit. i did find a good potential rotor to try out. it is thicker and has a larger diameter to! i will post pics of a mock up if it works. but i have to re drill the bolt pattern so i wont have it done util early next week. after i try this i will either go with the current setup or decide to switch to the slide over rotor i'm considering.
