RebekahsZ Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Saw a discussion on a rear disc conversion using 1987 Sentra front calipers. Anyone on this forum used those calipers on the rear of a z-car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrumpetRhapsody Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I wonder how the bias of this compares to the 240sx rear caliper option, and if this bracket is cross-compatible with the 280z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Trevor, I saw that post and that is what gave me the idea, but that little post seemed to just die out. I never tried to email the dude. I ordered a Sentra caliper and it has much bigger pads. But, I didn't know whether it would make a big difference to have two different size pads running on the same rotor (might make a weird wear pattern). Anyway, I decided to stick with 85 Maxima calipers for both sets of calipers. Will report how it works on my Hydraulic Handbrake thread. I have two different Porterfield compounds to try.
