Crumpyroads Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I've got a 1966 Datsun Roadster with a disc brake conversion on the rear. I'm trying to identify the source of these parts. I've tried to post pictures but can't seem to pull it off. I need some help. Thanks, Ron Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Maxima calipers maybe? Gotta google pics.. EDIT: Nvm, those aren't it. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 they look like the ones for a 81 200 sx, looks pretty close from what i could see on rockauto Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 280zx up to Sept '81 also look like those. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 yeah they look like 280zx rears to me. Quote Link to comment
Guest Rick-rat Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 They do look like 280zx more than 200sx Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 My bet's on 200sx. Isn't it popular to swap '81 and '82 200sx calipers onto solid axles because the 200sx mounting hardware bolts right to the roadster/510 wagon axle? Maybe he should look for factory hardware from the axle to the caliper? It makes more sense to me for the PO to swap out the 200sx hardware vs. fab stuff to fit the 280zx. Quote Link to comment
Alex Datsun Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Im pretty sure there 280zx callipers.....i have the same set going by the pictures. Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 I stand corrected. Definitely 280zx. The mechanical E-brake arm on 200sx calipers is straighter than these. Quote Link to comment
Crumpyroads Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for all your help. It looks like a 280zx to me also and of course none of the parts houses have one. I'll order first thing in the morning. There's no right or left so that helps a little. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment
Crumpyroads Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I finished up the repairs and thanks to all for your help. I couldn't have gotten it without you. It was 280zx assemblies. Ron 1 Quote Link to comment
