what brake assemblies can be fitted onto a 280z 1979

[Guest cs14silvia]

just got a 280z yesterday, very soft brake, thought its the pads but the pads were fine, so I am wondering what other brake assemblis can be fitted for this car ( from other types of cars)

 

for brake assembies I mean rotors, calipers, brake booster blah blah

 

Thank you

Well, a search should net you a whole whack of hit's if you type in 'brake upgrade' ..... I know there are a few swaps that can be done, and I guess the cheeper/common one is the toyota 4X4 caliper/84' 300zx vented rotor swap. I'm looking into doing this one soon (as soon as my Z is drivable that is!) You need a spacer behind the 300zx rotor, (not sure on thickness) and there is a ceartain number too look for on the toyota caliper (again, not sure on the number.. maybe someone else can chime in here with the actuall numbers?) but it apparently bolts right on to the Z. Im still wondering if this swap requires a master cyl. swap, or if it will work with the stock 280z M/C... Hmm... I'll go do a search to be sure, but if it's not out there already, could someone write up a FAQ and instal guide for the toy/300zx brake upgrade? Maybe get a sticky on it?
