trwebb26 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm trying to install my MMS 240sx rear disk brake kit on my 280z. I've done the passenger side and it fit up great. I'm having a hell of a time getting the stainless line to fit up on the drivers side so it won't rub anything. Please post up some pictures so I can see how you've routed yours. I'm also interested in pictures of how the e-brake bracket and lines are routed. Thanks! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I wound up bending the 20" hard line down slightly to ease the transition into the wheel well. It's not an ideal solution, but it works for now. For the parking brake cables, remove the hangers and swap them so that the cables cross. Hook them up to the calipers after everything else is assembled. Mine looked like they may rub on the half shafts but so far it hasn't been a problem. I'll try to take some pictures tonight.

pete280z Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Didn't make it into the garage last night. A family member wound up in the hospital. Hopefully I'll be able to get out there this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete280z Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I forgot all about this thread. Hospital stay turned out to be a false alarm. Tim - if you still need those pics I can take them tomorrow. Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I tried bleeding the brakes and its my first time wasted half a gallon of brake fluid and its still not working . A freind a work asked me if i inverted the calipers like they say the right on the left and etc , i said i did then he told me thats your problem the bleeder is at the bottom and needs to be on top . I felt stupid for a couple hours . Im gonna switch them back on their original side left on left r on r and try it again . Dunno if its installed right the bracket ears are towards the front of the car . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Yup. You've got the bracket the right way. There's a good write-up on the installation here: http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/Calipers/zbrakeupgrade.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
