  1. This is my rear brakes set-up I hope any of you can find an answer here here's a pic showing the difference between the 81-84 and 85-88 maxima brackets (click pics) In the beginning I also brought a set of the '83 280zx calipers, but they didn't fit. I went back to the 82 maxima and took the calipers as well, apparently the '79-80 280zx have the same calipers with the small pads, but I'm not sure, but apparently in many stores they have the same part number (do your own research) at the end I used a set of '82 maxima rear brake brackets and calipers and a set of '80 280zx rear brake discs installing the hand brake you will need to remove the stock maxima cable bracket and weld the one of your s30
  2. Thanks for posting this. I'll need this soon!

  4. I'm wondering what's the offset of these rims... one side of the rims have this numbers "6-JJX14-10" this make me wonder if the real offset is -10 or +10? sorry if this question is kind of stupid, but I really don't know.
  5. package received, thanks giorgio61.
  6. I need the rear hub for my 280z, if you have it please let me know I also need the nut. shipped to 92027
  7. to me a crx is the best option, here's a pic of my ex-baby before I lost my job... definitely a reliable and fun car to drive... I sold the car for $3300
  8. thanks man, I'm doing it right now and it seems that work fine using everything from the maxima.
  9. can you post some pics to see how it looks right now? I want to see how the pathfinder manifold looks like.
  10. I've been searching for a while with no answer, last sunday I went to the junkyard and I found a 81 RWD maxima sedan with the non welded rear brake brackets, but now searching information about the conversion for the S30 rear disc brakes I found this picture. and here's a picture of the ones I got (ignore the flat 85-88 maxima one) (click) can somebody tell me if those brackets are the ones that I need to use the 82-83 280zx calipers and rotors? thanks in advance!
  11. if you have time to do it by yourself, just buy some sandpaper and aluminum polish, I did it with my rims and here are the results. (clic pics)
  12. thanks for the info, I'll be trying to do the same swap in the next months
  13. same problem here, I'm using safari.

  15. nice!!! I've had 2 CRX Si, I sold the second one to buy my 280z, but I expect to buy another one in the future, here's some info from wikipedia, I hope it will help you.

  16. the problem has gone, today I put a new spark plug set and changed the thermotime sensor, now it seems to be working well, thanks for your help guys
  17. I decided to calibrate the valve lash yesterday, but now I have a problem and I have no idea as to what it may be, here I've posted a video of when I started the engine today when it was cold, then as you can hear after the engine warmed a little, this is where the problem begins, also my manifold gasket is leaking, so don't pay attention to that noise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6lQug7Zt-c
  18. thanks for the quick answer guys, also the guy who sold me the car gave me the n47 manifold, I really don't know why he changed the manifolds, and yes both manifolds have the EGR valve.
  19. I've been searching, but I didn't find an answer, I bought my '78 280z with the stock n42 block and n47 head, but the intake manifold is a n42, now my question is, is that ok? or do I need to change the n42 for a n47 intake manifold? thanks!
