scottyMIz Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 hey guys got the idea from rags(joe) didn't even know you could do it til i saw his car(very nice cars i might add) and he told me about them so i went out and got some brackets and did the swap myself.Had to move the mounts where the lines met the rubber hoses cuz the e brake bracket hit the hoses the first big bump i hit poking holes in both sides so i cut the old mounts off and moved them up to miss everything.I used some clamps to hold the brake hose off the half shafts and even the e brake works no mods at all just have to run the e brake cable around the half shaft.These pics are old when i first did it so you'll see where not to leave the hoses if you have a lowered first gen z before................. and after..............

Guest oldZguy Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Which bracket/caliper did you use for the swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 bracket is from a maxima calipers and rotors are from an 83 280zx.The earlier calipers are not the ones you want they are different so look for the 83 ones they are much smaller and nicer.The bracket is from a maxima but the year i'm not too sure i know the ones from an 81 will work but i think mine where from like the 85 year maxima i can confirm that when the guy i bought them from emails me back.
