Turbo6.0 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Just found this on their FB page.

Rob L Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Can it be ? Can we finally have rear wilwoods with an ebrake ? This should be a big deal then ......has anybody been able to do this yet ? I know arizona had a rear e brake caliper but I don't think it was very effective . Too bad I already purchased my rear wilwoods . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I looked at the FB page and the website, but didn't see any pictures of the rear kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The caliper that they show has been around for a while. But that kit is gonna need a fairly large wheel diameter for the parking brake mechanism to clear. Looking forward to reviews by the first to use it.

Phantom Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just fired them an email to hear directly from them. Will post any results I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I just got a reply from Gabriel. Quote: "It is already available. We have them ready to ship. Only thing we are waiting on is the custom E-brake cables to finish production. The calipers are original Wilwood calipers, with a built-in E-brake assembly. It's not part of their regular lineup, but rather a special caliper they built for the rally guys. Calipers are as pictured, and use alight spring to keep the E-brake hardware from rattling about. It's a far superior system to their single pot E-brake from years ago. That setup was noisy and never worked for crap. The new system is super coolant doesn't look any different than their normal 4 piston calipers." unquote I sent him another email back asking if their E-brake cables were sized for the different lengths seen on the earlier S30's vs the late ones. Still waiting on that answer. I'm pretty interested if I know they have the right E-brake cable for my late model '77. I guess the question I haven't asked is if the brakes work with the stock E-brake cable. More to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Use of the stock E-brake would be a plus. The Miata people already have a full front and rear kit available using this caliper: http://www.habumiata.com/flyin-miata-four-wheel-little-big-brake-kit.html#!prettyPhoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatwad Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) My main thing is that I'll be using 5 lugs. Edited November 18, 2014 by Meatwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If their fronts have a 5 lug option. I am sure their rears will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-E Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I've been contemplating producing calipers kinda like this, with some kind of mechanical lever system, I figured someone would have done it by now -- appears they did. I wanted to do it a little differently though; I might still if I feel motivated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Gabriel at TTT indicated that the E-brake cable they are making custom for these brakes is from the yoke on the center mechanism across. It does not include any of the front-to-rear part of the assembly. The stock e-brake cable in that area will not work with these brakes. The first cables are designed off a 240Z so, if any of the 280Z's need a different length, he said they'd provide that also.

1vicissitude Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Not vented? That's kind of weird, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Nope. Pretty much standard for the rear brakes to NOT have vented rotors. They don't do enough of the braking to require it unless you're into really heavy racing that involves a lot of heavy braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Hmmm. I like. Ditch the drilled self-cracking rotors tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duragg Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Question: can you remove the pads without disturbing the caliper? Answer: The Quick-Clips also accommodate easy pad access without caliper removal. Brake pad compounds are available for the full range of sport and competition applications.

thedarkie Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I wonder what the specs on the caliper are, if it might bolt up to the Arizona Z car wilwood rear setup I already have... hrmm.. edit: lookin at the pics, totally different heh nevermind this sure is an expensive way for me to just get a parking brake Edited November 22, 2014 by thedarkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helghast7 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I'd be curious as to what's the smallest rim these can fit, but other then that I like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob L Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I wonder what the specs on the caliper are, if it might bolt up to the Arizona Z car wilwood rear setup I already have... hrmm.. edit: lookin at the pics, totally different heh nevermind this sure is an expensive way for me to just get a parking brake I'm in the same boat you are ........the only way to cut the cost is to find someone who wants your arizona rear setup ...take that cash and put it towards the TTT setup ........it's a great setup just a little too late to the party for most here I'm sure .
