Grog Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Does anyone know if the rear rotors off of a 89-96 4-lug 240SX will fit on the stubs of the 240/260/280Z cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokebolt Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Same bolt pattern as Z cars (4 X 4.5"), the 240 SX does fit. Also the 200sx four lug fits as do many other nissan four bolt rear rotors. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Grog, don't take it for gospel, but I did buy some 240SX rears with the intent to go to the Modern-Motorsport setup ASAP. I have heard they work but have not miunted them yet--they are supposed to. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokebolt Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 The 240SX rotors will not work with the MM set up for the 240SX caliper and caliper hanger (to my knowledge, contact MM for verification on this) but they will work with the 810 Maxima stock rear hub bracket. MM uses the 1984-85 300ZX N/A rear rotor. Avoid the turbo of that make and year as it is 5 X 4.5" lug not the 4 X 4.5" that the others stated here use.

Now, if I have this right: 240SX 4-lug rear rotors are a bolt on PROVIDED you use the Maxima 810 (year??) rear caliper bracket AND (possibly) the rear calipers themselves? OR>>> use the 84-85 N/A 300ZX rear rotor for either caliper set-up? My issue is that I am keeping the factory Z 14" 5-slot magensium rims and I want rear disk breaks to stop that Pontiac motor momentum. I know about the 280ZX rear brake conversion but I am looking at more choices. I don't think the Ross C set-up will work but it may. [Ross - if you are reading this chme in please.

brokebolt Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Here is a link to a similiar discussion. All the way down on the first page I have listed my Port listing. Please read all the information including that on the second page as there is information posted to correct things from the first page. http://www.hybridz.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=19020&highlight= Also the 1984-85 300ZX rear rotor and any caliper (240SX or 280ZX) will not fit a 14" wheel, well non that I have seen. But the 810 Maxima hub bracket 1980-84 (not on every car) with the 280ZX/200SX/810 (810 RWD for the caliper and hanger as the FWD is different) caliper and caliper hanger will fit nicely on the 14" wheel. You need a 15" or larger wheel to fit the larger brakes. I'm sure you could get better rear set up using WilWood or someother aftermarket caliper, but you would need to make a hub bracket or have one made. I used to make stuff like this using the 810 FWD rear hub bracket as the basic platform, so anything is possible if it can be imagined. There was a member here that made this own rear hub brackets from scratch that used the 280 caliper, and I've seen the early 280 caliper used with a custom bracket. The 810 also used this caliper to be aware of the two different rotors, calipers, and hub brackets that the 810 used. Easy to tell which one is which, one is very large and used small pads, second and better is smaller and used the larger pad, same pad as the 280ZX/200SX/810/240SX. Best of luck, Mike.

Guest Your Car is Slow Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 wow..so we are sayin that the MM brackets will mount 240SX calipers...but that wont work with 240sx rotors???? Thats quite bizarre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokebolt Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 To my knowledge (varify this with Ross C. HE is the real expert on this hub brackets!) the MM hub bracket uses the 240SX caliper and caliper hanger and the 1984-85 300ZX rear solid rotor. The 240SX/810/200SX/280ZX rear solid rotor can be used with the 810 Maxima bracket wtih the floating dust shield. The 810 Maxima hub bracket that has the screwed on dust shield uses a larger, different, caliper and it also uses a smaller brake pad. I would suggest not using the larger version caliper unless that is what you have available. No big deal which one you use but for the price of parts, might as well use the "better" of the stock parts. If your really looking for clamping force (race or you have money to spend) see Arizona Z, he has large brakes for better stopping, never used them but they look good on this website. There are others as well as I'm sure MM (and others that frequent here) sells similiar stuff. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
