ID 280zx caliper

[The Octopus]

Laid my hands on a set of 280zx calipers/rotors/hubs for the front of my 510. I'm getting ready to rebuild/recondition them. In looking at parts diagrams, it looks like part numbers change between years, which leads me to believe that parts may differ between the years. Is there any way for me to determine what year my calipers are, to ensure that I purchase the right parts for the rebuild? Or does it not even matter?

 

Thanks, as always, guys.

did you in fact get 280ZX calipers and not mistake them for 240z/280z calipers?

 

oics!

I thought the 510 spindle was too small for z or zx hubs???????

Hahah. Thanks everyone. Sorry I stepped away from the thread for a minute.

 

I already had coilovers on 280zx struts, so the brakes/hubs/rotors were the next step. They are definitely from 280zx, as they mate perfectly with the 280zx spindle. Comparing the brake pads that came with my calipers to those in The Dat-side's thread, it is clear that I have the earlier variant.

 

As soon as I'm done grading finals for this quarter, I'll snap some shots and throw 'em up here for the final verdict from you guys.

 

Thanks again!
