disc on rear for 510

[oldgasman]

helloi have a 72 510 still kind of new .....looking for info on the brackets somone here makes..for the disc brakes?? and does anyone know with these brackets what year and model do you need to find for the calipers and rotors >>>

 

[oldgasman]

does anyone know how to ID a master ?? and is everyone running 280z masters ?? or are they 280zx masters

[fivetenguy]

The master will have the bore size on the side. It's preferable to get the 15/16 off of the early ZX, but I have the 7/8 from a Z. The 15/16 is getting very hard to find.

 

I have ZX brakes all around. I race my car at the track a few times a year without fade or any issues and the sessions are from 20-25 minutes. I'm quite satisfied with the braking power and feel.

The problem with those brackets is, is that it is hard as FUCK to find a 200sx or Maxima at a junkyard & even less in the NE. Parts stores barely carry anything for them anymore. I noticed that CXRacing has made caliper brakcets for the 510 with 240sx brakes, but I cant find anyone on here that uses them to get any info.

Hey guys,

anyone know of front brackets for 280z front calipers for 1972 510 struts?

 

Thanks :)

[freaky510]

i took a bansaw and cut the mounting bracket off a 280zx thru the hub then put the rotor on the 510 hub floated the brake where i wanted it to sit,then cut the 280zx bracket to sit on top of the 510 back plate weld and have no problems in the 5 years of heavy breaking

 

[five10freak]

when i did my disk conversion i had my friend make me some brackets, came out sweet too!!. i'm running the small 200sx brake booster, 280zx 15/16" master, SS lines(picture was before the ss lines installed), 280zx cross drilled and vented rotors, 280zx calipers on all 4 corners w/ porter field pads. stopping power is just awesome!!!!

 

my next move will be to go all Wilwood, :D

this is exactly the thread i needed... my Lazarus project is in desperate need of attention in this field... so, the desirable car to get donor front brakes and the master cylinder from would be a 200sx (what year?) or 280zx (1978-1983), and what brakes would you PREFER to be running on the rear if you wanted to go disc?(maxima, 200sx, 240sx, 240zx) im a bit confused... i like the link(s) for the brackets listed above... good stuff.

[Z chopper]

hmmm this is interesting

[sedan20]

still a bit confused... is there an IDEAL setup?

[ratdat]

Is there any pics how to instal these?

[Creepy Cruiser]

Here are the install instructions (with pics) for Aaron's (ratsun screen name "compression") rear disk brackets that we use on all our cars.
