jeromio Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 BTW, if anyone is planning on fabricating their own rear caliper bracket for use with the ZX rear calipers, email me first. I basically don't recommend doing it. I'm poor, but in hindsight, $150-$200 for the bracket would have been worth it. Perhaps if you're able to make it from aluminum, it might be easier. But I spent alot of time making these damn things (from 1/2 inch plate). I had to do alot of my own measurements (I used Turbo calipers and rotors which may be different that what the plans were meant for). I had to do alot of trial fitting and alot of grinding. And of course, the rotor press fits to the hub, so my trials weren't all that accurate (I ended up allowing for a ~3.5mm fudge factor and made up the slight difference with washers). And then in the end, one of my brackets appears to have warped during the final welding. So, I had to grind away almost 2mm from one ear. Ugh. Too much work. ------------------ 240Z.jeromio.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFryer Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Has anybody tried brackets from a 82/83 200SX. It uses the same rotors as the 280zx and looks like it has the right offset just might have to redrill some of the mounting holes.
