240 vs. 280 rotor size

You can use the 280Z rotors on your 240Z provided you swap out the 240Z hub with a 280Z one.

 

The 280Z hub is slightly thicker where the wheel mounts and there is more surface area. In addition Nissan reduced the rotor offset on the 280Z to reduce the rotor run out variation.

 

Just another example that the later 1st generation Z cars are a little stronger than the 240's. Probably as a result of the heavier weight and the introduction of the 2+2 models.

I did a search, but couldn't find any info...

 

so here goes... Are the 280z front rotors any bigger (diameter) than the 240z rotors?

 

It's time to replace and I found a set for a 260z/280z, but not a 240z...

 

Thanks

Max :confused:

The diameter is the same but the offset is different on some 240's. That is the distance from the rotor to the mating surface on the hub. If that distance is the same, the rotor will fit. Mark
