Georgia Flash Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Hello all, I have a simple question to throw out to the group. My 75Z has drum brakes in the rear and I would like to replace them with disc brakes. I have seen another 75 with rear disc brakes. Here are my questions; Could I simply find one in the Junk yard and get the discs? What parts do I need to get? And is it a fairly straight forward bolt on deal? Thanks in advance guys "Show me someone who is satisfied and I will show you a failure"Benjamin Franklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zgeezer Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Run a search on this forum for rear disk brakes. There's a lot of material here. There are many, many, many different Nissan part combinations that work. It's often mix and match. The easiest combination appears to be a middle 80's rear wheel drive Maxima with disk brakes. Most have their caliper bracket welded on. A few are equipted with bolt on caliper brackets. Look for one of these and buy everything you can get: rotars, calipers, caliper bracket, dust shield, brake line, and emergency brake cable. These will bolt on 240's (I don't know about the others). Mount the calipers to the front of your struts and swap them left for right. Bolts right up. Some work to hook up emergency brake, but readily doable. I wish you luck.
