NewZed Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Have you considered a newly rebuilt one? Might be better off in the long run since it will have new seals, bleed screws, etc. Any brake component that's been sitting for a few years is likely to have corrosion inside which will tear up the seals when you start using it. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/Brake+Caliper/03345/C0066.oap?make=Nissan&model=280ZX&year=1979&vi=1209293 Not too costly...

sticky280zx Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 i agree...new is better than used usually just remember to buy BOTH as the other will go out soon after the new one if you only buy them one at a time...it was around $750-1k for a whole new brake system on my 80...front calipers, pads, rotors, wheel bearings, same in the rear, and stainless lines all around.

KiwiCowboy Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Are you still looking for a caliper(s)? I have a set that have been completely rebuilt with pads and painted. They are mounted on my rolling chassis (83 280zx) but never had the brake lines installed. I decided to go with the Toyota calipers. Let me know.

Josh280z Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks for all the help guys... I went ahead and bought two new front brake calipers as suggested. Calipers have been installed and are bled. Now, to get the engine running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
