Guest Anonymous Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 The brakes on my 240 are really excellent. However, so far I've only raced it on regular compound street tires and with the stock engine, so... Is anyone using the Wilwood setup for Zs? Comments? How large of a wheel is necessary? Thanks. ------------------ Michael Sen-Roy Houston Performance 281-893-6080 ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted April 12, 2000 Share Posted April 12, 2000 Do you need an E-brake for inspections? If so, you might be relegated to running a factory style setup on the rear. Go with the 82-86 ZX style rear if you can. As for what really works...I took my car with its setup and did 10 repeated stops from 60 with the brake setup I have listed below... I set the cones at 100 ft apart... Every time I was able to haul the car to zero in less than 100ft. What I have: ZX Mastercylinder Wilwood Proportioning valve braided lines from Earl's Front 1988 Toyota V6 truck Calipers KVR Kevlar pads Russel Speed Bleeds 84 300ZX rotors, cross drilled (I don't recommend cross drilling... go veined if you can!@) Rear 81ZX calipers W/ JCR mounts Earls Braided lines Russel Speed bleeds JCR Rear Cross drilled rotors...(Read in Parens above) KVR Rear pads The car brakes awesome, PERIOD! All the parts are stock like off the shelf parts... Look at the Brakes 101 thread for brake fluid recommendations... this is critical!

Guest Anonymous Posted April 14, 2000 Share Posted April 14, 2000 I haven't checked the article yet, so my apologies if this question is answered there... How did you match up the offset of the rotor to caliper with that combination up front? Wilwood told me Arizona Z make the kit, rather than it coming directly from Wilwood. Your method certainly sounds cheaper. ------------------ Michael Sen-Roy Houston Performance 281-893-6080 ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
