FiveSeventyZee Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I found a great deal on a set of drilled and slotted rotors but the set is for a 280zx. I found them because I was looking for the zx rear rotors for a disc brake swap in the back. I feel like I can't let this deal escape me. That being said, what's the difference between the front rotors on a 240z and a 280zx? are they different diameters? thickness? What if I used front calipers from a 280zx too? sorry if this is answered a lot, I did search but I couldn't find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Diameter, thickness, venting. You might be able to bolt the rotor to the hub, but that's not going to get you much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveSeventyZee Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 so they're wider I'm guessing, that would be because they are vented right? larger diameter vented rotors from a 300zx have been used right? what's to stop these from working? if I get calipers wide enough (meant for vented rotors) and find a way to mount them then it would be a similar idea to the 300zx rotor/Toyota 4x4 caliper swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 They are wider, but they're smaller diameter. They're 10.5" so you'd have some serious issues with bolting up a caliper. If you want a cheap brake upgrade the 300ZX is a little easier because the rotor diameter is the same as the Z at 11". That simplifies things a lot.

FiveSeventyZee Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 hmm, well I found a set (all four) for a 280zx cross drilled and slotted for $100. I wasn't even going to do the fronts but that seems so cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
