zgeezer Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 I've mounted up a complete 80 something Maxima rear brake bracket, calipers, and roter on my Z. The E-brake cable mounting "ears" now point forward at about a 45 degree angle. Not easy to route existing E-brake cable (awkward bend). Does any one know of any caliper that might fit and allow the E-brake cable to exit a a 90 degree angle? Previous posts seem to say that a vented 5 lug '92 Z would work. However, I wish to keep my wheels and the 4 lugs. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Try the front-wheel-drive Maxima caliper. I vagely remember the parking brake lever pulling the other direction, otherwise the mounting bolts are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 Use the '82-'83 200SX rear caliper. It's ebrake cable comes out at a much better angle. However you must use the '82-'83 280ZX "caliper support piece" or the "slider" bracket so everything will line up correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
