Guest Anonymous Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 how do i get full pad contact with the 280zx caliper disc set=up on a 240z ? the top of the pad has about 3/16ths unused. the rears are fine with rhe beackets I made. What mods are needed on the front to make the '81 calipers get full contact with the rotot. i HAD TO SPACE the rotors using shims to make the porper clearance. once i heated the brakes so hot i had abrake fire. car is used in scca e-prod. w. quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 From the limited amount of info here, I am guessing that you are using 280ZX front rotors? If so, you may want to use the early 300zx (4 lug only) rotors instead. They are larger diameter, and still work with the 280ZX calipers. About (not an exact number, but close) 1/8" radius needs to be removed from the outter circumference on the 300ZX rotors for a perfect fit using all the pad.
