80datson Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 What brakes are you referring to? When you say these fit Quote Link to comment
angelmanuel Posted November 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i have read that the 200sx brakes and 280zx brakes can be used. by the way, i am talking about front brakes. Quote Link to comment
anthonydeb Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i would also like to know what bolts up to the front end of a 69 510 Quote Link to comment
79210 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 what brakes could be used for the rear to convert to disc Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes, just about any brakes can fit. Some guys fit GM brakes to them. Take your pick. The only ones that "bolt-on" are the B310 brakes. These are a relatively large rotor and stop well if in good condition. But they are non-vented, so will fade with repeated use, like when racing or zooming down mountain roads. Here are some of my favorite brake swaps for B310 -- all of which require fabrication or replacing the entire strut/hub/spring assembly: * 280ZX brakes - vented small rotor * Wilwood racing brakes * NISMO MK63 bracing brakes Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Read my compilations here. It focuses on B110, but also applies generally to B310: Brake Upgrades. Be sure to follow the links to more detailed levels of information. Quote Link to comment
Goldie Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 I need to replace my front brake calipers on my 1977 b210. Are the calipers compatible from a 510 or some other model? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Are they leaking or seized??? The 610 the S10 '77-'79 200sx and the '79-'82 210 used the same calipers. Quote Link to comment
pdp8 Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I do keep seeing ads from "Aerospace Components" for racing brake setups for the 210, my factory brakes seem to work pretty well for me since I've worked to make the car lighter, or at least well enough the $800 price tag for the fancy brakes seem unnecessary, but I'd love to know what people thought of them.

datzenmike Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Do you race your car? Then you don't need them. You can spend some money on premium pads that bite harder and stop you in a shorter distance. There are also tires that provide better grip for stopping. Quote Link to comment
