Axmiester Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hey all, My name is Axel and I am an avid nissan lover. My first car at the age of 16 was a Honda Civic coupe with a bit of work. After a few scares autox'ing and then wrecking, I bought a 1986 240sx SE coupe. From that day "once you go rear forget about torque steer." It had a simple sr20DET swap, 300zx brake upgrade with 5 lug all around. TEIN suspension, JDM front end conversion, Flat black and tints. I was parked on a corner and a guy hit me with an eldorado. I just recently bought a '74 260z. The previous owner gave her a nice paint job. My plans are to upgrade the front brakes. The rear brakes have been upgraded to the maxima brakes. Are there any Z shops or clubs around the NY NJ area? Where can I get all the parts required for the frotn brake upgrade. I dont want the vented rotor upgrade. The 89 toyota caliper and stock rotor will suffice. I am really interested. Ask any questions are welcome and help is appreciated. I will post pictures up soon.--Axel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Sounds like you found a nice car. Is it an early model 260z? Thats what I have and I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260zShooter Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Check you local autoparts store for the calipers. Pay the core deposit and return the datsun calipter after you install the new ones. The parts guys never have any idea what the ones they sold you look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8INtheZ Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Looks pretty nice! I would recomend the Toyota 4x4 brake upgrade. It wont cost very much and your car will stop very well. I have a cobra with some huge breaks on it, and the Z stops just as good if not better then the cobra does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
