Guest Timd Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Evening all My zx is running an rb20det and is in need of a brake upgrade. Does anyone know if the toyota 4x4 upgrade works for the 280zx or is it only a straight forward affair with the Zs? Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 i don't think that adding the toyota calipers would be an upgrade on a 280zx. check out Dave's V8 280zx ... no mention of brake mods. i've seen this car, and have spoken with Dave in person on several occasions as well as e mails. his craftsmanship and eye for detail, performance and safety are first rate. this 280zx looks as if the nissan factory built it. if there was a need for a brake upgrade, i am sure he would have done it. though, since the article was written he may have upgraded the brakes. i know he has sold this beautiful zx and is now modifying a front engine porsche. Dave is very approachable, and his head is stuffed full of great information, i am sure he wouldn't mind if you dropped him a quick question or two. http://home.earthlink.net/~dvgreimann/index.html you may find these sites helpful http://www.fonebooth.com/brakes_zcar.html http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/768663 http://www.angelfire.com/extreme/280zxt/ http://www.vanisledatsun.com/links.php http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/links/morelinks.htm good luck with your quest, wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Timd Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks very much for your reply mate, thought my post may go unnoticed there for a while. I think i may look at upgrading rotors, lines and pads before forking out for a caliper kit. Cheers, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynekarnes Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Tim, i know how you feel. the 1st few posts i made, went unanswered, for about a month, i felt a bit rejected. then i got 6 or 7 replies. i find the search engine a bit difficult to use, but other people laugh and say its me, they are probably right. if you can figure it out, do a search on 280zx and see what comes up. hopefully, Dave will get back to you. that zx he built is sure sweet. Ross up in Canada had a V8 zx ( was stolen a while back, don't remember if he got it back ), his was real nice too. as you have, i'm sure noticed, there are quite a few members in the hybridz family that share your continent. drop by the non tech message area, post a message asking who lives near you, well, within 500 miles wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
