Guest scca Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 for a cheap ZX upgrade just use the front from a 87-9 300zx. i have a full set used if you want fronts for $300pr as new cond thats calipers hubs and rotors and pads, 2 piston calipers if you want 4 pistons then need outlaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Originally posted by madhatter:does anyone know when Ross C's big brake upgrade will be available for the zx Been available for a while now as web says, just haven't got to updating more info with pricing and pics. Occupied with work and summer mod frenzies helping others. I have to apologize for my slow web updates, customer product needs have been the priority so please feel free to inquire personally when you have q's as I've rarely had time for the web lately. Setup is $850 and that's 13"x1.1" Brembo rotors, guaranteed to satisfy ALL needs , aluminum PBR calipers,brackets, custom SS braided lines, to bolt onto a 5lug converted 280ZX. I can and have supplied the 5lug conversion parts as well including fully redone front hubs and rear stub axles. Sean here as installed the full setup. A 2 piece 13" rotor setup for 4lug 280ZX's (and 5luggers) will be available in short order as soon as someone inquires for their own 280ZX setup. I'm presently putting out some 4lug Z 13" 2 piece setups. Pricing for those is not concrete yet as final items are just being made and then all costs will be realized. Specs and performance on both are Xtreme (anyone like 13" 1.1"rotors with massive swept area's that weigh ~10lbs and serve all needs;), a typical 4x4 0.8" vented rotor even weighs more)and combined with a very long lived system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 SCCA, do you know if the rear brakes from the 87-89 300zx would fit, a 280ZX, and would they be a significant upgrade? I know they are vented and are probably a little larger than the 280zx disks. Also, do the calipers have integrated e-brake, or do they used that funky drum in the hat e-brake like the 90-96 zx?

Guest scca Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 the 87-8 brakes are A LOT larger than a 280zx.. its not a easy bolt on though so welding is required -- havent tried rears those may work easier - i have used these on a early z before as a cheap upgrade.. the fronts are frickin huge for oem stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Hey Mike, What all is involved inthe swap to 87-89 calipers and rotors? I'm starting to see more and more of these in the J/Y's lately so this may be an option later this summer until I can get some real brake upgrades.

Guest scca Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 hey looks good - is that the car with my old intercooler on it? they will fit but its a bit of work but they are CHEAP to get and the work isnt that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Mike, Yes it's the same car and the intercooler turned out great after alittle cutting and welding. I just didn't like the way HKS must have intended the pipes to go. After I got done I has about 2' of pipe left out of all you sent me. Not sure how they were running it but, it must have been crazy. Back to the brakes for the 87-89. Do you have to weld on new mounting taps or what? Can you atleast steer me in the right direction for now? It would be awhile before I even attempted something like this but, I always thought it might be possible and like the part about sticking to Nissan parts.

Guest scca Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 i have all the parts sitting on the shop floor and as usual i started to look at it and then got distracted with some other project.. when your closer to doing it let me know and i will look into it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Thanks Mike, Hopefully I'll try to collect the parts sometime later this summer or maybe in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
